Hello everyone,

I hope it’s okay to ask support-related questions here. I’m definitely not a pro, so please bear with me. 🙂

Two days ago I upgraded my old PC with a new graphics card and a new CPU. I’m very happy with the results and basically everything is running smoothly(!).

Old setup:

• Ryzen 7 2700X with stock cooler (Wraith Prism)
• GTX 1080 (Palit)
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
• Asus Prime B350M-A
• Corsair VS650 – 650W VS Series

New setup:

• Ryzen 5 5600X with stock cooler
• RX 9060 XT 16GB
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
• Asus Prime B350M-A
• Corsair VS650 – 650W VS Series

Now my question:

I was playing Pragmata using FSR and Frame Generation. On high settings everything ran perfectly fine, so I thought, “hey, let’s try extreme settings” … Well, during a fight my PC suddenly crashed (screen froze first, weird audio noises, then a black screen).

Could this have been caused by the extreme settings? On high settings the system runs really well and I’m very happy with the upgrade overall.

It just feels a bit unsettling now - you kind of worry that the black screen might happen again, especially since the parts are brand new.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Ran OCCT stress tests - no issues and temperatures are okay
• Tried several different games - no issues and temps are fine (except for the crash in Pragmata)
• MSI Kombustor (went fine)

Thanks in advance for your help
