Is the complete freezing of the computer during gameplay related to a GPU problem?
The system would freeze during gameplay, and attempts to restart didn't resolve the issue. I checked temperatures and clocks on a second monitor to look for anomalies, but everything seemed normal. I tried lowering graphics settings in Strix x570-e and Strix RTX 3070, which helped prevent crashes. The problem started after installing the 3070 GPU, though it was only noticeable when something unusual happened. There were no error codes on the motherboard, and my computer didn’t show any signs of failure after a reboot. My main concerns are whether the GPU could cause this and how often it might happen.
Evga 850w gold psu is the model, with 850W listed as the power rating and Gold indicating an 80+ efficiency claim. What is the specific model number? The device appears to be relatively new, based on its specifications. If you suspect the GPU is the problem, consider obtaining a high-quality PSU capable of delivering 1KW for your entire system and test if the issue continues. If the problem remains, attempt to uninstall all GPU drivers via DDU (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) using the latest driver from Nvidia's support site, running it with administrator privileges. Also, check your motherboard's BIOS version.
