Hey guys, looking for a lil help for once. Recently upgraded to the 12900k and have been having full system locks, no blue screen just full freezes. I’ve uninstalled iCue, reseated ram and tries without XMP as well as constant temperature monitoring and logging. I was looking for any suggestions on what may cause this. I’ve narrowed it down to the psu not being sufficient. It’s a 750w platinum. 12900 paired with a 3080.(ddr4 on a z690 edge)
These locks only occur during heavy load/while gaming. Temperatures are all nominal. The GPU worked fine with my 9900k. Windows is a fresh install. I’ve ensured bios settings are set properly. At this point I’m highly siding with the fact that I’m pushing my 750w psu too much with the 12900/3080 +4m.2’s,4ssd/hdd’s, 9 fans, 3 rgb/fan hubs.
I work building systems 9-5 but I’m still stumped and too exhausted from work after the day to want to troubleshoot more pc stuff. Though I still want to ask, is there any other potential reason I may be encountering these. Maybe something I can try in the meantime whilst a wait for a new psu?
