Hey everyone,
Recently upgraded my old Intel 5960x to a Threadripper 7980x and have to say I've been enjoying it but...
Last night the fans all of a sudden went into overdrive and my screen went black. I assumed it was my video card (ASUS Strix 4090) as the PC still seemed to be running. Rebooted - but after a minute or so, same thing... reset BIOS to defaults, unplugged and reseated GPU, same thing...
Turned PC off (it was 2am by this point) and went to bed...
Today... no issues... so I'm wondering... could it have simply been overheating? Gonna leave it on to test, but am I missing something obvious?
