My computer crashes when I attempt to launch games.
I experience a black screen accompanied by a loud buzzing sound and crashes whenever I launch games. I have checked my RAM, hard drive, and updated my GPU drivers, completing all recommended steps online. Despite these efforts, the issue persists, with occasional periods of gameplay followed by crashes occurring every 1-30 seconds. I am using Steam to initiate the games, and my computer is approximately one month old.
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 550 DirectX 12 GV-RX550D5-2GD REV 2.0 with 2GB of 128-bit GDDR5 memory requires a power supply of 400 watts or more.
The specifications include a WD Blue 1TB SSD, a 240GB Sandisk, Ryzen 5 3600, ASUS X570 TUF Gaming WiFi, RX 550 Radeon Balistik Sport LT, 16GB DDR4 3200MHz, and a Seasonic M12ii EVO 80+ Bronze PSU. A buzzing noise originates from my headphones, and my CPU temperature consistently ranges between 43-51°C. I do not know how to monitor my GPU temperature. I have performed tests including RAM, GPU stress testing, and HDD testing.
What specific RAM, GPU, and HDD tests have you performed? Does this issue consistently happen when gaming, or only at other times? Are your drivers and BIOS up to date without using a driver updater program? Describe exactly how the PC crashes – does it freeze and require a hard reboot, or restart automatically?
