Hello everyone, my computer has been acting up for a while now. It often freezes during games or shuts down completely, especially when I don’t move for a bit. For instance, in GTA V it stops working if I stay still. I’ve tried several fixes: replaced RAM, swapped the hard drive, installed a fresh Windows 10 Pro on a new drive, updated the games to that new disk, swapped out my GPU from 2060 to 4060 Ti Ventus 3xFAN, reinstalled drivers and the OS, cleaned the PC, checked cables, used only one new monitor, and reset the BIOS. I’m not sure what’s causing it anymore. My specs are: Ryzen 5 5600X, Corsair 32GB, 3600Mhz RAM, Samsung storage drives, Barracuda Seagate, Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 3xFAN 650W, MSI MPG B550 Carbon Wi-Fi, and a Gungnir case with six fans. I also have a Ryzen 7 CPU cooler with MX4 paste and run Windows 10 Pro. Please advise, maybe it’s the CPU or power supply.

while working through that, did you delete any extra drives? If there was any data on them, it might have included corrupted files—only PSU or motherboard would be affected. I’d try to remove as much as possible so a game could still run. Just one RAM stick and one drive installed, nothing else except keyboard and mouse in USB ports. You should run stress tests on the CPU and graphics card, maybe download a few to see how they perform.
