Hi All,
I built my PC around 10 months ago and I am now having some problems with it for the past month.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yTThyk - My PC
I often get a black screen followed by a restart while gaming. My PC will also Freeze completely and remain un-responsive until I forcefully restart it via the power button.
Temps seem to me normal while gaming, nothing out of the ordinary. My idle CPU temp however is around 40 - 50 which is a little on the high side in my opinion... but while gaming we get to 70 to 80 max.
I have run extensive anti virus and malware searches and cleaned my computer thoroughly.
I have also run a windows memory diagnostic with 0 issues highlighted.
I have run Heavy Load Stress test and the computer seems to be fine while doing this.
I have taken my PC apart and cleaned any dust and checked fan obstructions and ensured all cables are firmly connected.
Only when I play games such as Warzone, Fortnite etc I get these issues...
I am completely at a loss, I have requested Amazon send me a new graphics card but it held up without issues during the stress test so I am not even sure this is the issue.
After restart the Even Viewer shows Kernal Power error which can indicate a sudden loss of power (I think?) so maybe I am now thinking it could be the PSU.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
