Constant Hard Crash, unable to start a game

Diagnostics → Windows Error Reporting (summary)

Multiple GPU timeout failures are recorded:

• Bugcheck 0x116 – VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE
• LiveKernelEvent 141 / 117 – GPU hang, reset failed
• Error code 0xC000009A – insufficient resources

Meaning:
The GPU stopped responding → Windows attempted recovery → the GPU never recovered → the system hard-locked or crashed.

Why this matches the symptoms

This explains:

• Complete system freeze
• No display updates
• No keyboard or mouse input
• Power button unresponsive
• No useful logs

Low-level TDR failures often end this way, especially on Ryzen + B550 systems.

Why this is not a driver or Windows issue

If it were:

• A bad NVIDIA driver
• Corrupt Windows install
• A DirectX issue

You would see:

• nvlddmkm errors
• Clean BSODs
• Recoverable crashes

Instead, the 141 → 117 → 116 chain points to hardware / power delivery instability, not software.

Important detail

The errors reference Windows 26200 (Insider), meaning they occurred before you rolled back.
Windows exposed the issue — it did not cause it.

Final diagnosis

Confirmed cause:
VRM / SoC instability under transient GPU load

System combination:

• Gigabyte B550M DS3H
• Ryzen 9 5900X
• RTX 5070

This motherboard is not designed for modern high-transient GPUs combined with simultaneous CPU boost.
Battlefield shader compilation is a perfect trigger.

Next steps

Confirmation test (recommended):

• Set GPU power limit to 75–80%
• Run Battlefield shader compilation
• If freezes stop → cause confirmed
• If freezes continue → rare GPU issue possible

Mitigation (if keeping the board):

• Disable PBO
• Set CPU PPT ≈ 120 W
• Set SoC voltage ≈ 1.05 V
• Force PCIe Gen 3
• Disable Global C-States

I hope this helps explain the issue :)
