I think you meant to write Seagate instead of Samsung.

Thanks for reporting back, and I'm glad that you could solve the issue. Honestly, I still find it weird that such a quite young PSU degraded that quickly... Even if I assume 300W for the GPU and 250W for the CPU (both are on the higher side), add the rest of the components, I consider the total...

Yes, it could be the PSU if the issue occures when both the CPU and GPU are fully loaded. It's just that PSUs from a reputable brand shouldn't make problems at the age of 3 years - though I'm aware that it can happen anyway. If you happen to have access to a computer shop around the corner or...

Although it sounds like the PSU being the culprit, I have my doubts about it. A good quality 850W PSU is plenty for such a system, especially considering that the CPU won't be fully loaded while gaming. I suggest narrow it down more to at least try to find out which component is faulty. To do...

CPUs have some safety measures to prevent them from being damaged or killed. In simple cases it just throttles. In extreme cases the system just shuts off - just like you experienced. Despite these safety features, applying high voltages for a longer period of time can (and probably will)...

Well, indirectly it could be possible. You'd need some device that connects to the drive's SATA power plug in question. Similar to the existing power monitoring hardware for GPUs that connect to the PCIe power plugs, like the TG WireView. Such device would measure the data and provide that data...

The screenshot you posted shows Memory information in the middle and GPU information on the right. The DRAM bus width is different from the GPU memory bus width, these are completely independent from each other. Regards Dalai

Well, check all connections to all drives/disks and if all cards are seated in their slots properly. Does the long BIOS POST occur every time or was this a one-off? In other words: Can you reproduce it? Regards Dalai

A long BIOS POST - that's what's happening while the mainboard logo is shown - usually means that some device needs a long time to respond to the system. This can be due to a bad connection (e.g. to a drive, improperly seated card) or some kind of device failure (e.g. a dying/bad drive or card)...

Keep in mind that there's always some limit to all chips (CPU and GPU), either temperature, current, voltage, clocks or because the GPU isn't doing anything (idle). For Laptops there's one more thing to consider: manufacturers can configure the chips to a certain power budget to avoid...

Could be the "old friend" Controlled Folder Access in Windows: https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/windows-10-defender-blocking-hwinfo.7534/post-32115 Regards Dalai

Is it among the hidden values which the title bar counts? Check HWiNFO's Sensor settings, Layout tab. Regards Dalai

How does the reboot look like? Do you get a BSOD? If so, what does it say? You might be able to get the error code and perhaps even the triggering driver via NirSoft BlueScreenView. Which PSU do you have? Did you try to update the BIOS? The report you posted says you have version 2006; the...

Well, that value was discussed recently: https://www.hwinfo.com/forum/threads/is-it-possible-to-display-same-cpu-speed-shown-in-win11-task-manager.8980/

It depends on the fans, of course. Fast-spinning fans can easily draw 6 Watts or more. Even regular fans (Arctic F12 or Noctua NF-B9 Redux-1600) draw 0.12 A which is around 1.4W at 12V. Sure, it also depends on the actual fan speed, i.e. whether or not they're controlled by some means like a fan...

That only gives the power of the "core" components. You still have to add other components such as the motherboard, drives, fans, pumps (if any) and anything else that uses power. HDDs can easily consume around 4-15W, SATA SSDs also have a wide range of power usage, so have fans. One simple way...

There's nothing wrong with asking the manufacturer how the device is supposed to behave in terms of clock speeds and power for CPU/GPU when plugged in or unplugged. But I highly doubt they'll give you a schematic for this system. There are manufacturers that do supply information like this, but...

I doubt that a schematic will help you, that is unless you can read/interpret it properly. But even then, software (drivers) might be involved in how the system behaves. One question: Did the system always behave like that or did it start just recently? The former might be an indication of a...

The former might be OK (but it could also be not OK), but it heavily depends on the power adapter and what the device expects in terms of voltage and amps. The latter is a SERIOUS issue! Stop using the device or at least disconnect the battery and replace it ASAP! A swollen battery is a strong...

It might be sectors. Multiply the raw value with 512 and then divide by 1024^3 which results in GiB. Calculating the Total Host Writes this way: 128CADE6C (hex) = 4,979,351,148 (dec) multiplied with 512 (bytes) and divided by 1024^3 gives 2374 GiB, roughly 2.5 TiB. And for the Total Host Reads...
