PowerSpec G765 (9800X3D / 5080) – random hard freezes and instant reboots at idle, 2 days old

Picked up a G765 from Micro Center this week. Getting hard freezes and sudden resets, almost always at idle or light load (never while gaming so far).

Specs:

  • Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi6, BIOS F11b (AGESA ComboAM5PI 1.3.0.0a)
  • 2x16GB TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan DDR5-6000, running XMP 1 (not EXPO)
  • RTX 5080 (Gigabyte), driver 32.0.16.1742
  • T-Force TM8FFE002T 2TB NVMe
  • Stock PowerSpec PSU (unbranded?)
  • Windows 11 26H2

Symptoms:

  • Two failure modes: (1) full hard lock where the clock freezes, no mouse/keyboard, have to hold power; (2) screen goes black and it drops straight to the BIOS splash and reboots
  • ~5 incidents in the first 10 hours, including one ~60 seconds after boot and one overnight while idle

Logs:

  • Every event is Kernel-Power 41 with BugcheckCode 0
  • No minidumps (dumps are enabled), no WHEA errors, no nvlddmkm/TDR events, no disk/NVMe errors, no problem devices in Device Manager

Tried so far:

  • Reseated both RAM sticks, the GPU 12V-2x6 and the 24-pin
  • BIOS: Power Supply Idle Control set to Typical Current Idle. This cut it to one reset in ~15 hours (3 AM, idle), but it didn't fix it
  • Next: disabling XMP to run at 4800

Questions:

  1. Anyone else with a G765 / B850 Gaming WiFi6 seeing idle resets? Did a BIOS update, RAM swap or PSU swap fix it?
  2. Is the XMP-only T-Force kit a known issue in these builds?
  3. Does anyone know which OEM makes the G765's PSU and its wattage/rating?
  4. If XMP-off doesn't fix it, did Micro Center swap the unit or repair it?

Obviously the thing is under warranty but I'm trying to avoid a return/exchange if it's something I can fix.

Thanks!

RetroRuns v3 - Big updates!

Hello! I'm here to post about what's new with RetroRuns over the last couple months. But first, I'd like to genuinely thank anybody who has supported RetroRuns along the way. All of the encouraging feedback, feature suggestions and just overall positivity have motivated me to take this thing way further than I initially planned. Shortly after I launched RetroRuns, CurseForge put on a contest to celebrate innovation in the development of addons for Midnight and beyond. I was pretty early into development, but I said what the hell and threw my name in the hat. I'm proud to say that RetroRuns finished as a finalist in the top 10! We've amassed nearly 45,000 downloads in our first 4 months and I'm really enjoying the process of just building something, especially in this game I've played for so long yet have never really contributed anything to. I am constantly developing this thing and trying to make it better and more useful for the community, and I truly welcome any and all feedback.

Now- For those who aren't familiar, RetroRuns is a companion for legacy raids and dungeons.

It offers a stylized panel with:

  • step-by-step routing through a combination of hand-authored notes + paths drawn directly onto the world map
  • solo tips for bosses in the situations where they still matter
  • transmog tracking for each boss, rare, POI, etc.
  • achievement tracking for each boss, with a rating on how easily they can be solo'd
  • raid skip tracking to show which raids have skips unlocked, and at which difficulties
  • one-click routing straight to every raid/dungeon entrance (with supported addon)

What's New?

  • We have officially implemented every legacy raid in the game, which at the time of this post is Classic through Dragonflight.
  • After many requests, we have launched Dungeons! Started with a cool 20; all of the Classic dungeons plus a couple from MoP (Scarlet Halls and Scarlet Monastery). Obviously there are many more to come!
  • Search! This is a feature that nobody really asked for, but I think RetroRuns users will eventually wonder how they lived without it. Use the magnifying glass to search for anything in the addon. The raid/dungeon to hit next, or any of our tracked tmog and achievements.

AI Disclosure: I do not have an extensive background in software development (I dabble), but I am an engineer by trade and I'm not one to shy away from a useful tool. AI is used in several key ways for development of RetroRuns: All asset creation, localization/translation, wago db2 scraping, ATT cross-referencing and a LOT of API troubleshooting. Pretty much everything else is me.

If you haven't tried RetroRuns yet, give it a shot! It will make those mount/tmog farms a lot more engaging and might even make them faster.

RetroRuns - June 2026 Updates

Hello!

Wanted to make an update post to highlight a few of the latest features of my addon RetroRuns.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/retroruns

Recently Added:

  • All 5 Mists of Pandaria raids
  • All 3 Warlords of Draenor raids
  • Skip Routes - if you have a raid skip unlocked, RetroRuns will prompt you at the raid entrance to choose a standard route or a skip route
  • Toaster - silence the loot spam, and only pop toasts for what you care about (new appearances, pets, mounts, toys, home decor). Summarize everything else into a single chat row. Disabled by default.

-------------------------------------------------------------

RetroRuns - Solo legacy raids for transmog, mounts, and achievements with boss-by-boss routing, skip paths, and live collection tracking. Zone in to an old raid and choose between the Standard full clear or the abbreviated Skip route (if you have it unlocked).

Initial Popup

At a glance, see which raids you've cleared for the week and which ones have skips unlocked, or click the associated flightmaster icon to be given turn-by-turn directions to the raid entrance (with a supported navigator addon).

Idle UI

Inside a supported raid, you'll get step-by-step routing to every boss, in addition to hand-authored notes for boss mechanics that still matter when soloing. RetroRuns also highlights achievement, transmog, and special drops for every boss along the way.

Core UI - Active Raid

Every map inside a supported raid has route lines drawn with directional chevrons. In many raids, you will also see labeled POIs marked on the map.

map lines

Tmog UI - Track every transmog drop across the supported raids in one window. See which items you've got unlocked, have a shared appearance for, and the ones you're still hunting. Supports tier-tokens/appearance tracking in all supported raids.

Tmog UI

Achievements UI - Every Glory meta-achievement laid out boss by boss, with a soloable-difficulty indicator and one-click Wowhead links.

Achieves UI

Skips UI - See exactly which difficulty cascades you've unlocked on this account for every skip-eligible raid: what saves you a wing, what drops you mid-raid, what you still need to grind. Account-wide aware, so unlocks earned on one character show up everywhere. And when a skip is unlocked, the choice is yours at the door; run the full raid with the standard route, or take the skip and let RetroRuns guide you through the shortcut straight to the end bosses.

[Addon] RetroRuns - Legacy Raid Solo Navigator (Updates)

It's been a little over a month since I released RetroRuns to the public, and there have been quite a few updates since then, so I figured I would make an update post! I appreciate all the feedback I've gotten so far.

RetroRuns is a solo legacy raid navigator. Zone into an old raid and it lays out the next boss, the route to reach them, encounter notes focused on soloing, and your transmog collection state for every piece of loot that's about to drop. Kill the boss and it advances automatically.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/retroruns

Currently supports all raids in the following expansions:

  • Dragonflight
  • Shadowlands
  • Battle for Azeroth
  • Legion
  • Warlords of Draenor

At a glance, see which raids you've already cleared this week, which still have lockouts open, and which have a skip unlocked on your account. One click on the flight-master icon next to any raid name routes you straight to its entrance.

Idle UI

Main UI (active raid) Step-by-step routing through every boss, with live tracking of where you are, what's coming next, and what special loot to watch out for; plus boss-specific solo tips and on-the-fly notes for tricky mechanics. The route auto-advances as you move, so the panel always shows the right info for the right moment.

Main UI

Map with route lines drawn straight onto the World Map with directional chevrons so you can read the path at a glance — no separate pane, no minimap squinting. Auto-advances based on current progress.

Map

Tmog UI Track every transmog drop across the supported raids in one window — boss attribution, source difficulty, and what you've collected vs. what's still hunting. Filters keep the noise down so you can focus on the pieces you actually want. Supports tier tokens in all supported raids.

Tmog UI

Achievements UI Every Glory-meta achievement laid out boss-by-boss, with a soloable-difficulty indicator (green = any class, orange = class kit needed, red = confirmed not soloable) and one-click Wowhead links. The boss your route is on right now stays highlighted, so you can clear achievements as you pass through.

Achievements UI

Skips UI See exactly which difficulty skips you've unlocked on this account for every skip-eligible raid — what saves you a wing, what drops you mid-raid, what you still need to grind. Account-wide aware, so unlocks earned on one character show up everywhere. NOTE: This is informational only. There are no built-in routes for skips at this time.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/retroruns

Currently supports:

  • Dragonflight
    • Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope
    • Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
    • Vault of the Incarnates
  •  Shadowlands
    • Castle Nathria
    • Sanctum of Domination
    • Sepulcher of the First Ones

More raids coming, with preference for ones with complex layouts or optional kill orders — that's where this addon earns its keep!

Idle State

The main panel shows up when you zone into a supported raid — next boss highlighted, route to reach them, solo-focused encounter notes, and a loot checklist with achievement callouts. Click any boss name to pop open the transmog browser for that boss.

Active Raid Step

Routes are drawn segment-by-segment on the World Map, with auto-advance as you reach each checkpoint. Handles multi-floor raids and teleporter hops.

Example Drawn-Route on Map

Transmog tracking is per-item, per-difficulty. Green means you've collected it; gold means you own the appearance via another source; gray means you still need it. Covers armor, tier, and weapon tokens — and it's cross-source aware, so duplicate appearances don't show up as "still needed."

Tmog UI

I'm excited to get this in the hands of community, and open to feedback / feature suggestions!
