Hi all,

recently picked up a G527 (Ryzen 7500x3d, MSI B850, powercolor 9060XT) to replace my nearly 10 years old intel build. I was excited to get back into some games but I've run into increasingly frequent crashes black screen/blue screen/reboot into windows (which show as event ID 41 in W11 Event Viewer). This primarily occurs under load (Cyberpunk/Helldivers/Heaven). I do see an occasional crash during low utilization just browsing the web and listening to music, however.

One thing that stands out is that I am seeing pretty high GPU temps (85c core / 110c+ hotspot) under load with the default fan settings:

There was an error displaying this embed.

if I force the fan to 100pct in afterburner (also increased the case fan ramp up rate in bios for additional support), the temps don't look as awful, but I still face crashes at random.

Chipset drivers, graphics drivers, and windows are all up to date.

Any other things to check before trying to warranty? Closest store is over an hour drive so I want to make sure I've done everything before I hit the road :)

    well, this is an odd one. Never found anything useful in Windows event viewer that would have led me to this but with the GPU temps in check and continued crashing, I was poking around with more testing.

    I was running OCCT and realized that after 2 hours the system hadn't crashed. it was only things with audio, like the games / heaven benchmark. Reset audio drivers and it ran heaven bench for 2 hours and cyberpunk for an hour without crashing. Fingers crossed that it's nothing more

    Strange, unless it pulled down a driver update, but that should of happened on the first day. Let me know what you see going forward.

    Got my son his first gaming PC for Christmas, g527.  He's also had some freezing and reboots while gaming. Event ID 41 as well. He has played fortnite and Forza Horizon 4.  I updated windows and AMD driver.  Since update he also gets an unsupported graphics card message when opening Forza, error FH204. Clicked Option to ignore and continue and game worked.  It's been a bit frustrating that a brand new PC isn't running smoother.  Any suggestions?
