Issues arise with all peripherals during certain games.
Issues arise with all peripherals during certain games.
My PC functions well most of the time, yet certain games—FIFA 23, NFS HEAT and now Starfield—cause everything to freeze, all external devices disconnect, while my case fans and RAM RGBs remain active. I believe the issue isn’t related to the power supply since I tested under load with GPU (Furmark) and CPU (Prime95) for about an hour without shutdowns. During gameplay it occurs after roughly 10 to 20 minutes. I checked Windows Event logs but didn’t find any relevant details. I’m not adjusting overclocking settings. I’d appreciate more details, but I’m unsure what might be triggering this problem.
My hardware includes:
- Gigabyte Aorus B550M
- Ryzen 5900x
- Radeon 6600
- Superflower Leadex III 850W (80 plus bronze)
- 32 GB Corsair DDR4 RAM
- Water Cooler Corsair H100x (240mm)
- 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD 7200rpm
It appears the BIOS wasn't updated. I assumed it was due to installing Gigabyte's software with an 'Update BIOS' option. Now, using a USB stick and updating manually, it no longer crashes. Thank you.
