Issue with computer shutting down or locking during gaming sessions
Issue with computer shutting down or locking during gaming sessions
Computer details provided include the processor, graphics card, and storage configuration. The user experiences freezing issues during certain games while playing PoE, Diablo 4, and WoW, with monitors freezing on a single frame but audio continuing on other screens. Common troubleshooting steps involve checking the capslock button, mouse functionality, and Logitech G935 headset operation. Event Viewer logs indicate a reset attempt was made, and both M.2 devices have been used. The motherboard and Windows updates are current, though the PSU is old. The user feels uncertain about resolving the problem without replacing parts one by one.
Your PSU seems insufficient for this configuration, possibly the main issue. The biggest power draw comes from your GPU and handling two monitors. Consider using just one screen to check if consumption decreases; if not, identify what needs adjustment.
The 650-750W bracket is more than sufficient for the 6700XT. The 850-1000W range is actually the new benchmark, though it's at the upper limit of these systems. I'm currently using a Deepcool PM750D paired with an overclocked 6700XT and a PBO Max Ryzen 5 5500 at 1.4V on my RAM. I haven't blown a circuit breaker; most crashes are due to AMD drivers being incompatible.
There isn't a universal psu dimension for multiple gpus. The size varies based on the GPU model and other system parts.
