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 :)
