i did same but had Nvidia card, removed Adrenalin an was stable after that. 

How can an Nvidia card use Adrenalin software when it's made for AMD gpu's?

Was it to get the mobo chipset drivers or something?

Yeah, & Adrenalin is buggy & notorious for not playing well with other software overlays like Discord & Steam in-game video recording software, etc.

corrrect chipset    

to me seems AI has messed up gaming for the greedy bastards (B.G.)  want to monitor us and tell s how to live while surfing, no more straight data just atitude with search now (buy from my store ad's)

i have tried different drivers with amd gpu's and install types of just drivers only too. i think amd gpu's hate me or something lol.

 

My memory is supported and i have tried different sticks too.

[Nycz]

i do like with amd software it can show both gpu and cpu temps unlike nvidia that doesnt show cpu temps. have to get another program for that.

[Nycz]

What I do not understand about amd GPUs is that when I look up videos about stabilizing them they always mention raising the minimum frequency yet that’s not needed for nvidia cards or even an option unless using extra software. 

[KaptCrunch]

its the memory buss voltage you raise so it can sync with CPU

[Nycz]

Just don’t get why amd cards next tweaked to work right u like nvidia

[Nycz]

Maybe I should just drop down to play at 1080p instead of 1440p and get an even higher refresh rate monitor. I currently have an Alienware aw2725dm which is 180hz.

What capacity power supply unit in your computer?

[Nycz]

850 watt

[KaptCrunch]

some amd GPU are on cpu chip also intel  with twice the size of heat spreader or LID or cover for have  faster pipeline to CPU  are called intergrated graphic chip by CPU model.

what does this have to do with anything?

[KaptCrunch]

no PCI-e  slot used  and  the HDMI monitor cable is connected to back I/O plate better proforumance, like slaping 4 barrel a tunnel ram on your ehgine with a hotter camshalft

i know how integrated graphics works and my cpu has it but i use dedicated gpu instead. i play other games than just cod 4.

[KaptCrunch]

NP  just check using the correct plug CPU_PWR1-2 for in the past a PSU supplier had them marked wrong and i smoked a CPU.  i mean use 2 plugs CPU_PWR

Check your system logs for errors using event viewer & system monitor. 

Google the error codes for clarification, if needed.

Download & run a hardware monitoring tool like HwInfo to help find issues.

Power issue or mobo by the sounds of it , AMD drivers are usually if not always bang on as in work every time.

You mentioned you used gtx 5070 there too? The later 40 series and now 50 series have been reporting to have been melting their 12pin connections due to temperatures and voltages.

If you have a modular PSU with connectors perhaps get a replacement 12pin or whatever is equivalent these days on the newer cards and see how that goes 

[KaptCrunch]

yeah  Barron power was a issue 

in the old days  when SLi  was starting  using dual or triple cards, I made  it's own  deadicated 60 amp 12v rall PSU for vidio cards and made video PCI-e plugs for the cards only by using a car 12vDC relay wired to 4 wire molex plug taken the 12v (yellow-black) for coil and wired to the green wire from 20 ATX plug pin # 14  for 24 ATX is # 16  to the secondary PSU green wire  with Normally Open pins on relay so when boot up both PUS's powerd up same time and turn off.

 

caution on the  CPU and PCI-e plugs are looking same and are wired differant.

Yeah, when he responded 850 watt to my query, that would be my first issue to address. 

Built my last rig with 1,000 Watt psu & wish I would've gone a little bigger, although no problems in the 2 years since building it.

Always want plenty more power than the system draws to account for PSU efficiency, fluctuations & to give room for any future upgrades & hardware additions.

@Nycz Come off $100 or so & replace that PSU.  Get you at least a 1,000 Watt Gold rated modular. 

[Nycz]

Nothing I looked at online supports that though. The calculators and such suggest 700watt so 850 already more. Where did you get 1000watt?

[KaptCrunch]

bragging rights LoL  but reduntcy and headroom for exspantion of hardware later on 

ok now onboard and PCI-e  slot  video adds to the load  along with capture cards etc

 

mine 1K PSU lasted 14 yrs and seasonic won't even repair it, talk about support your product but time of build is the best of the best.

wow i see over 900 views of this thread  hope this educates the DIY on getting to the issue. most is cheap venders making crap wire harnesses and people not up keeping the software / firmware on thier systems and matching up RAM  (running dual channel mode)

[Nycz]

Or 900 annoyed readers lol

I live near Fort Knox, KY.

The closest Microcenter is in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

2 years ago they had a deal that made the 300 mile round trip worth the drive...plus, I was in the mood for a road trip.  It's located surprisingly conveniently right off the exit ramp.

Having built many rigs over the past 40 years- how the time does fly- I've learned through experience that you want the most robust psu to support your components; if some power calculator tells you X, add even more capacity.  I've probably been building rigs longer than the person that wrote that power requirement calculator has been alive.

If you're gonna spend your hard-earned money on a pc build, you want to BEEF UP that PSU beyond any question of its ability to support all those pricey components. 

There's a significant difference in the quality of the rails on higher tier psu's that enhances their ability to support consistent load demands & fluctuations efficiently.

If I'm spending $2,000+ on components, I'm happy to spend 10% of that total on a rock solid foundation of the whole system: the psu.  Not bragging rights, but peace of mind.

The same psu I bought is currently on sale for $30 less than I paid a little over 2 years ago.

Here's the link, plus the receipt for my build parts purchase, minus the 6950xt gpu I bought on Amazon. 

It comes with a 10 year warranty: https://a.co/d/39OvFoO

I have Ryder 7 7700 non x, xfx wick rx 7700xt with 32gb 6000mhz skills flare 5 and 2 m.2 drives. 
 

are msi psu bad? First one I have tried and seen. Didn’t know they even made psu before I got this.
