hi everyone!

i built a new PC mainly for audio workstation. everything goes fine except when using winrar.

when compressing large folders (i usually do audio projects backups) the pc randomly reboots without a BSOD or any type of error. after that, there’s a critical event ID 41 in event viewer

what i tried yet: stress test with OCCT: runs with no problems stress test with Throttlestop: runs with no problems memtest86: passed compressing with 7zip: runs with no problems different perfDrive profiles and memory tweaks in BIOS makes no difference

finally i found that the problem occurs only when using the “high performance” power plan.

i suspect the PSU may be the problem, but the stress tests are using way much more power and the cpu is far hotter than when using winrar so that doesn’t make sense.

i also think it may be something related to multi-core processing

    When you run a stress test like OCCT is the CPU throttling or can it maintain maximum clocks? Possibly you are more stable throttled and so not seeing the same instability in synthetic tests.
