My computer will randomally restart itself while gaming
My computer freezes and restarts while gaming since upgrading my graphics card. I have run a benchmark which shows the GPU temperature ranging from 46.0 to 69.0°C with 99% utilization. The system specifications are: CPU i5-4460, GPU GeForce RTX 2060, 16GB RAM, and Windows 10. I am unable to identify the source of this issue.
The motherboard might be responsible for "HWInfo reading the voltages." I installed HWInfo on a Dell GTX 260 (old machine) and am not getting voltage readings either. Regardless, the reason I think the PSU is the main suspect at this point is that your temps are fine and it only freezes when you are gaming; it does not freeze at idle. Therefore, while gaming, your voltages may be dropping due to the load of the GPU/CPU and causing the freeze.
Locate the statistics; how should these be found? (You have downloaded HWiNFO64.)
I examined all options and did not locate it; should I install an alternative?
HWInfo reading the voltages is likely a function of the motherboard. I just installed HWInfo on a Dell GTX 260 (old machine) and I’m not getting voltage readings either. Regardless, the reason I think the PSU is the main suspect at this point is that your temps are fine, and it only freezes when you are gaming; it doesn't freeze at idle. So I’m thinking while gaming, your voltages may be dropping due to the load of the GPU/CPU and causing the freeze.
To resolve this, is a new power supply sufficient? Furthermore, the system froze and rebooted during use of Google Earth, which may be relevant to determining the cause.
