Your hunch that PBO2 is causing the crashes might be the correct one.

Currently PBO2 could maybe lead to over voltage being supplied to the CPU.

It depends on frequency and temperature of CPU.

Leaving of PBO2 should be better for stability, also check latest bios/firmware updates, there are found problems with older bioses that could even blow up these processors.]]> Sun, 30 Apr 2023 09:02:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=104696&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#104696 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102565&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102565 Author: Kodan1751

I've replaced the PSU with a new one and have not seen any of the described issues since. Seems like an extremely weird behaviour but it's fixed.]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2022 12:51:13 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102565&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102565 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102205&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102205 Author: Kodan1751

Errors occured at stock memory speeds (4800) and PBO on auto, since I just loaded defaults.
I re-flashed back to 1.11AS06, cleared CMOS and explicitly DISABLED PBO. Memory is still at stock speeds right now. Yesterday it completed 6 hours of OCCT and no errors were reported. Gaming was also stable with no reboots.
I left the system running overnight and today in the morning there were no errors. Since then I started yet another run and no errors. Maybe leaving PBO on auto enables a boosting behaviour that causes a single core not to be stable and when that core does something crucial and encounters and error, the whole thing just reboots?

Would be great to hear some insight on this theory. Right now everything seems fine. PSU swap will commence either way, though. This one is out of warranty.]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2022 05:19:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102205&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102205 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102192&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102192 Author: Solidblock22

I don't know anymore was having constant restarts now nothing at. Its been a week now restarts or nothing

I think I have finally found the REASON for the reboots. But probably not the culprit.
Following advice in another forum thread where someone saw the same behaviour on a different board I started testing with OCCT:

CPU Test
AVX2
Small data set
Extreme mode
Start at cycle 1
Threads: advanced
Testing physical and virtual cores and starting with core 0 and 1
cycling cores every 10 seconds

After a couple minutes I see physical core #4 reporting problems. Sometimes that core has issues on the first pass, sometimes it takes a couple passes for errors to show up. I think that's what is making it so inconsistent. But now I can at least start tracking down what is causing those problems. Maybe the core is just physically defective on my CPU.

I have a new PSU on the way since redoing my cables seemingly helped a little bit.

Possible. I hope that, if there is a damaged cable, it's at least inside the sleeved extensions since the 24 pin on the dark power pro can not be removed. They only added that in the latest version of that series.

As for the motherboard i have set everything back to EXPO + PBO + CO. ]]> Tue, 29 Nov 2022 02:11:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102157&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102157 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102098&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102098 Author: Dieter_Wilke

Update:

I found that it doesn't seem to like Trepang2 in particular. Starting the game reboots the system reliably. Have tried over 20 times in a row now. It's a steam title, and steam runs off my secondary drive.

Reseated CPU. No change. Block seemed to have made very good contact.
Removed 1 RAM stick. No change. Put removed RAM stick into A1 to test if it's memory related. No change.
Cleared CMOS. No change.
Tried limiting the CPU power. No change.
Flashed the latest Beta Bios. No change.
Installed the latest AMD chipset drivers. No change.
Disabled C-states. No change.
Fixed the infinity clock speed. No change.
Reduced the GPU clock speed by 100MHz, believing it to be a GPU crash. No change.

Same thing every time. I start the game from the steam library, it loads for a second, screen goes black since it's a fullscreen application and I see the mouse cursor put into the upper left corner for a fraction of a second before it reboots or gets stuck at 00.

I went back to a previous BIOS version and chipset drivers. No change.
I DDU'd the Nvidia drivers and reinstalled. No change either.

Mind you that this game has worked in the past and even when I started seeing instabilities it was nowhere this bad.

I went to pull the PSU and checked all connections. I moved one PCIe power cable to one that is on a different rail. Since I have the OC-Key in the PSU it should run in single rail mode either way so I did not expect any difference. I also untangled my 24 pin extension to check for any issues with the connection. The connection was fine.

Now the system works. Game starts and I can no longer reliably reproduce the rebooting when starting it. Granted, I have no idea if it's 100% stable but it has clearly improved. I have no idea what did it. I merely moved some cables around without unplugging them, powered the system back up and it seems fine. Very strange. Not sure if I should RMA this PSU.

maybe try disabling c states in the bios?]]> Wed, 23 Nov 2022 10:48:22 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102064&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102064 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25110&PID=102058&title=x670e-taichi-randomly-resets#102058 Author: Solidblock22
