Folding Forum

Hi out there,
randomly my PC restarts when I am folding using my Radeon 6700XT, identified as gfx1031.
Sometimes its going through, sometimes 20% or more, sometimes only 1% or even immediatly the PC stops working and restarts.
Without enabling my 6700XT everything works fine.
I checked temperature, clocking and much more I could think of - no clues.
I changed the board - no changes.

I'm running on an ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus (latest BIOS) a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB RAM, XFX Radeon 6700XT (latest Adrenalin 24.2.1) with Windows 11 (also latest update).

Any hints? Appreciated. Thx.

The PSU maybe ? You didn't mention it ...

PSU should do: 1.000 W - be quiet! straight power 12 ...

Possible solution for me at the moment:
-- pause folding with ending (!) all (!) projects (many restarts required ...)
-- re-install of folding exe, using (old) data-drectory as the new one

Now it's running for a few days without restarts - well, I didn't use the PC in the meantime ...
I will tell what's happening in daily work ...

If it starts failing when using the system, you might have to disable adaptive power management on the GPU. I don't know how to do it on AMD, but on nVidia control panel, it's called "Prefer maximum performance" in power management setting.

Hi,
Thx for the suggestion. I will try in the AMD control to find an equivalent.
Meanwhile folding works fine even with hard working (on music and video).
