Okay, I previously made a post about how my r9 290 had coil whine and had started to die but purchasing a new RM650i PSU has remedied that issue.
However, after all that I still get random problems with my computer shutting down while gaming. (Once or twice a day, sometimes 3) When I look at my event logs, I find a kernel power error 41 in my critical logs occurring at said shutdowns. I have googled this issue over and over and can't seem to find a proper fix or answer to what is actually causing it. Can anyone give me some insight or advice to figure out what is going on?
I'm running an i7-4770 and R9 290
A few observations I've noticed are:
My PSU fan doesnt spin at max load (I read that this is due to the modular abilities of the RM650, but I think running games should draw enough power, no?)
My GPU gets to about 70~80 degrees while gaming
PSU calculator says that I'm drawing at least 420W from my PSU
Could it be that I just have a busted power supply?
