[SOLVED] Hardware error in dmesg, how to be sure which component is the problem?

Hi,

I've recently swapped an old nvidia gpu for AMD rx 6700 xt, and since then I had a couple of errors logged in dmesg.
When the error happens (only happened while gaming so far) the game freezes (and whole pc as well, I cannot do anything) and PC automatically reboots.

After restart I get this in dmesg:

Code:

~ >>> sudo dmesg | grep -i "hardware error"

Can I somehow check whether this truly is the GPU that is the problem?

I'm on current manjaro, have a slight overclock on PC (that was completely stable until the gpu came in), replaced a PSU and wifi card recently.

Code:

~ >>> lspci

Hello, mikaka2711 & welcome to LQ.

Take off the overclock and restore standard speed. Nobody will take you seriously (myself included) until the fault shows at specified speed.

Take my own case. I've a Ryzen 5 5600. There's a Ryzen 5 5600X which clocks a few hundred Mhz faster, with a few hundred Mhz extra on turbo speed. But it costs disproportionately extra. I only recently discovered that dies that fail as the 5600X can pass as a 5600, and are sold as that. Hence the cheaper price.

I think you're right, so far it didn't reproduce without the overclock.

Hmmm. Note to self & all prospective overclockers: Always buy the fastest version of any cpu you hope to overclock. The slower version is an overclocking failure.

Give it a day and then mark this solved.
