I'm a computer tech by trade and I helped my son build a new machine.
He's running the x670e-e with the 7950x, 64GB of G.Skill F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR using the EXPO profile @ 6000Mhz (3,000Mhz actual clock).
CPU heatsink is the Ice Giant and we underclocked the CPU a bit using PBO to get thermals under control and Mclk is locked to the FClk.
The system is seemingly stable as it passes every test we throw at it, OCCT CPU stress, OCCT Linpack AMD64, OCCT Memory test, CoreCycler, Karhu mem test, all tests seemingly pass without issues AFTER the second reboot.
The problem he's experiencing (and it is reproducible) is after the initial cold boot the system will bluescreen reboot with the following error.....
012923-19890-01.dmp 1/29/2023 4:21:46 AM DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE 0x0000009f 00000000`00000003 ffffc78f`a04f1d40 ffffc602`1b11f1d0 ffffc78f`b0e828f0 ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+3fa1d0 x64 ntoskrnl.exe+3fa1d0 C:\Windows\Minidump\012923-19890-01.dmp 32 15 19041 4,000,444 1/29/2023 4:26:28 AM
After a simple reboot the system is stable and will run fine without incident.
I've tried turning the memory speed down to 4800Mhz (2400 actual clock), bumping the SOC to 1.35v, turning curve optimizer off and a few other things I can't recall at the moment but we can't seem to narrow down where the problem is at. The only thing I can figure is it's a BIOS issue, driver issue or a hardware issue of some kind. Granted that could explain 90% of most people's issues but you get the point.
One thing I pointed out to him to make him a bit more patient with the problem is that he's running cutting edge hardware, something is going to bleed and bleed it is.
Another thing I noticed he's getting in his Windows System Event Logs is the following ACPI Event ID 15 error....
: The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.
At the time of a system reboot and obvious Kernel-Power event in the event log the system also give the following e2fexpress Event ID 27 error...
The description for Event ID 27 from source e2fexpress cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (3) I225-V
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table
I did at one time assume that maybe the NIC driver was to blame so did dig around and make sure all the drivers were up to date but the problem still persists.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
