If it's a server PSU, no idea.Looks like they have a 1000w PSU think that would help?
Wonder if there is any settings in BIOS that might help.Undervolt the 6800 XT is one option or limit the fps to 60.

I guess the PSU is having trouble handling that.
I think server PSUs are designed to be overprotective and wouldn't allow such high instantaneous power peaks.
Long shot but see if you can find anything.Wonder if there is any settings in BIOS that might help.
What log do I look at?Did you check the Windows Event Log? Powering off automatically could be due to the CPU reaching dangerous temperature so it shut itself down to prevent further damage. An anomalous power surge could also trip the PSU's protection circuitry.
System in Event Viewer.What log do I look at?
^^^ never tried that but it could be useful.Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) providers are displayed in the "Applications and Services Log" tree. Logging for individual components can be view, enabled/disabled - and are a great place to start troubleshooting a component.
I looked under power events and there is nothing but entries concerning the system going to sleep. The hardware log is empty. Any other type of log I should look at?System in Event Viewer.
So it's probably a sudden hard shutdown, not allowing Windows time to record an entry.I looked under power events and there is nothing but entries concerning the system going to sleep. The hardware log is empty. Any other type of log I should look at?
This is mostly just a project I decided to work on. It's a Lenovo P520. There are a lot of videos about using the P520 as a base for a gaming computer but the fastest graphics card I have seen used is an RX5700XT. I already had the RX6800XT so used that. I usually stay away from proprietary hardware.BTW, just a recommendation. In the future do not buy anything Dell, especially proprietary computers. This is a common result.
My recommendation would be to buy a whole new PC, and start with something like a Zen 3 or Zen 4.
I think I have some spare 8 pin cables. I'll try swapping cables. I can try downgrading the video card but that would suck.So it's probably a sudden hard shutdown, not allowing Windows time to record an entry.
You could try using two different 8-pin connectors, attached to different cables instead of on the same cable from the PSU.
Just checked the BIOS system log and there are no power events logged just me changing BIOS setting.So it's probably a sudden hard shutdown, not allowing Windows time to record an entry.
Not sure what that is?Don't forget to use InSpectre to turn off mitigations
A simple utility that lets you disable security mitigations that slow down older CPUs. None of the threats are realistic for you and I the end user so it's fine to disable the patches.Not sure what that is?
Be careful with that. Unless it's a generic cable, some cables are proprietary and using them with some other brand PSU could cause electrical problems.I'll try swapping cables.
I have two single 8 pin ribbon cables. It is from one of my other PS but not sure exactly which one.Be careful with that. Unless it's a generic cable, some cables are proprietary and using them with some other brand PSU could cause electrical problems.
