How to fix power-related crashes on Galax B760M D4 in AC Valhalla?
The power delivery on this board is basically walking a tightrope. Every time I hit a loading screen for a major settlement, the CPU power spikes and the whole system just black-screens and reboots—it's absolutely ridiculous. The Galax B760M D4 VRMs can't handle transients over 130W, with voltage swings hitting 110-160mV, which just triggers the CPU's internal protection. I tried capping the processor state at 90% in Windows, which stopped the crashes but turned a 20-second load into a 55-second slog—total waste of my life. I finally went into the BIOS and slapped on a +0.05V Vcore offset and set my case fans to 'Turbo' mode to blast the VRM heatsinks. HWInfo showed the voltage ripple dropped to under 35mV, and the crashes stopped entirely. I wasted hours swapping RAM sticks thinking they were dead before realizing the motherboard's power phase is just garbage. CPU temps are between 76-83℃, and the VRMs are running hot at 86℃. I exported the crash logs and confirmed the voltage spikes are gone, with fans humming at 1400-1600RPM.
