Cheers,

  • I just recently upgraded my rig with Tomahawk, 9850X3D and Kingston DDR5. After clean installation of the operating system and starting to use the new hardware, I have faced some issues that I never had before. The issues are:

1) The PC won't completely turn off when I shut it down. The monitors go black but lights stay on on the GPU and case fans.

2) During desktop use, my CPU temps are around 45 C which is ok. When gaming, the temps have been on average around 65 C, which is also ok. However, after I stop gaming and return to desktop, the gaming temps remain for as long as I shut down the PC. For example, if I quit the game to desktop and leave the pc on idle, the temperature won't drop but is still around 65 degrees, no matter how long I give the PC time to "cool down".

3) On couple of occasions, the CPU temps have remained at solid 45 C no matter what I have done - desktop or intensive gaming. I have checked the temperature on the onboard LCD display and using HWMonitor, and it is probably correct as on these occasions the fans have not increased their RPM like they usually do under load.

So far what I have tried to do is:
1. Disable fast startup in Windows - no effect.
2. Enable and disable ErP ready mode - no effect.
3. Updated BIOS and chipset drivers to latest - effortless installation but no effect on the problems.

What should I do? Is this just a driver/software related problem, or is there a chance the hardware is faulty?

Thanks.
 
Tried the new bios some weeks ago, doesnt change anything, they are still checking... its easy to reproduce on avx512 or specially in games like poe

This is getting beyond ridiculous already, i provided them with thousands of reports, specially this hwinfo print of how it behaves when the bug happens, look at this [***CENSORED***] lol -200
