PC crash when gaming after CPU upgrade

Hello!

I have upgraded my CPU today from a Ryzen 2600 to a Ryzen 5950x. The PC boots, everything works, I can even run a CPU and GPU benchmark simultaneously, but as soon as I run a demanding game for a minute or so, my PC crashes. The screen goes black, the PC lights stay on and the CPU debug LED of my mainboard is on. At this point I cannot even hard shutdown the PC by holding the power button, I have to switch off the power supply, switch it back on, then boot.

I have updated the BIOS, have cleared CMOS (at least I think I have, I switched the power supply off and pushed the reset CMOS button on the back). Nothing helped so far. I don't think it's a power supply issue, as I looked up the recommended power supply wattage for my setup and it's 600W upwards, I have 750W.

I'm running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on this PC.

These are my hardware specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950x

Mainboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC

RAM: 2x HMA82GU7CJR8N-VK

GPU: AMD RX 7800 XT

Drives: ADATA NVME SSD, 2 TB, SX8200PNP; Western Digital HDD, 2 TB, WDC WD20ERFX; ADATA SSD, 512 GB, SU800 (system drive); LG DVD burner, GH24NSD1.AUAA10B

PSU: Be quiet! System Power 11 750W

Thank you for reading! Any help would be really appreciated.

Crashes with graphical glitches, part 2

Hey everyone!

So, a few days back I made a post about my PC crashing and showing some graphical glitches on screen.

The consensus in the comments was that it's hardware related, so, since I wanted to upgrade anyway, I got a new used graphics card and as that didn't fix it, a new power supply as well. That sadly didn't work though.

Now I got another crash, and it does look different so it might have something to do with my hardware after all, but I'm stumped on what it could be.

Another clue might be that the last two crashes happened a few minutes after powering on the PC from standby. Before the crash, programs stopped working (I got push notifications of Steam and Firefox crashing). I don't definitively remember if that was the case before, but it might be.

I'm using Tumbleweed with KDE.

Here are my hardware specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 2600x

Mainboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC

RAM: 2x F4-2400C15S-8GNS, 2x HMA82GU7CJR8N-VK (currently removed these two to see if it's a ram issue)

GPU: AMD RX 7800 XT

Drives: ADATA NVME SSD, 2 TB, SX8200PNP; Western Digital HDD, 2 TB, WDC WD20ERFX; ADATA SSD, 512 GB, SU800 (system drive); LG DVD burner, GH24NSD1.AUAA10B

PSU: Be quiet! System Power 11 750W

Thank you for reading, any help would be really appreciated!

Edit: Added hardware specs

Edit 2: Solved (for now)! Seems to have been a RAM compatibility issue. Using only 2 modules instead of 4, it doesn't seem to crash anymore.

Crash with graphical glitch

Hi everyone!

I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed on my main PC for a few months now and so far really like it.

One thing I can't get rid of though, and I need help to figure out what causes it.

Relatively infrequently (once every few hours) my PC freezes, then tiles black spots over the screen followed by the white artifacts you see in the picture.

The only thing I can do at that point is to restart the PC. I thought that it might be a driver issue, but after multiple updates the problem persists. Can it be a problem with my hardware? My PC is around 10 years old by now. My GPU is a Vega 56.

Though it never happened with Manjaro, which I had running on my PC before installing openSUSE.

Any help with this would be really appreciated. Thank you!
