Why blender causing my PC to restart?

All kind of troubleshooting is done, also tested with another cpu and mobo still it’s restarting,
I’m guessing it’s something with AMD gpu’s, Can’t find any Nvidia gpu to test with, but i tested with another rx 580 8gb gpu and still pc restarted.
Maybe this rx series GPU can’t take some kind of pressure or something.
cause you know, it’s not restarting when working with 2px tiles size and 4px causing pc to restart while 4px is lower, and also in substance painter doesn’t cause restart even when i export in 8k, but it restart’s when i add HSL prespective, color correction and color balance with so many layers.

I think so,
i didn’t follow the course of whatever, after watching the course trailer, I tried to make that short animation on my own.

I know this will not make any difference to anyone… but I have the feeling that this rather extensive matter is about to reach “Barrymaritime”-status.
…I thought I would mention this.

carry on

In that case it’s probably worth opening a bug report on the blender tracker as well as contacting AMD support.

Confusion remains because that strategy is called shotgunning. Keep replacing good parts on speculation until something works. “I guessing” is the first indication that one is not “following the evidence”. Good diagnostic procedure has been replaced by speculation.

A power system defect can make other good parts act defectively. That power system defect is also why a system would suddenly power off. The reason for sudden power offs has not been solved. Symptons may have been cured.

Nothing yet says that power system is good. Only way to identify that defect is to remove nothing, disconnect nothing, request instructions, use a digital meter as defined in those instructions (and not by those other websites), and then report the resulting numbers.

Nothing has yet been defined good - without doubt. The so many “it could be this” or “might be that” speculations keep returning to many previously swapped parts.

Troubleshooting means eliminating parts as suspect - without any doubt. Thing that suddenly turns off power is the same thing that makes other good parts act defectively.

Two minutes of labor could have replaced those few hundred posts (with no resolution).

No pressure exists. Computers work synchronously. Components work just as hard or just as easy - all determined by master clocks. Pressure on a GPU is just another example of wild speculation not based in how computers work. Worse, that speculation is not tempered by any numbers. No numbers is another indication of why confusion reigns.

So what about that thread calling for RX 580/590 users to test with your .blend file at 4px size in volumetrics?

Here it is

Hi Thank you.
The idea was to make clear the call for users of AMD RX500 to test with your blend file, for example with a title: “I need AMD RX500 users to test with this .blend file”

Otherwise this new thread runs the risk of becoming another kilometer thread with multiple suggestions that have already been mentioned in this thread.
So if you can edit the title of the other thread for something better…

Oho, Thank you. I edited the title
