My PC gets stuck when I play games.
Hey everyone, this is the first time I've ever had this happen. It started when I was playing KCD 2 and my PC woke up on its own while I ate dinner with my family. When I turned it back on after going to sleep, everything worked fine for a while. But about an hour or so later, the game started stuttering really hard. The screen would freeze for twenty seconds, then suddenly the whole computer stopped working and I had to restart from the power button.
I tried uninstalling the game thinking it was just a software error, but when I came back in, Mount and Blade: Bannerlord II gave me the exact same problem after 45 minutes of playing. The BIOS is up-to-date too, so that's not the issue. I cleared all my drivers and reinstalled everything again, but it happened once more. It never worked before KCD 2 either, even though the computer temperature looks fine in normal use.
Here are my current settings:
Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 (version 1.3) with 32GB of RAM from G.Skill Ripjaws running at 3200MHz CL16. The graphics card is an RX 6700 XT from an XFX Speedster, and the CPU is a RYZEN 5 5600X. I have a 1TB Kingston NVMe SSD storage and a 650W XIGMATEK power supply unit made by X-SERIES.
Welcome to the forums! You're a newcomer here. Your 650W XIGMATEK X-SERIES PSU is looking weird in your PC build. Maybe try getting a reliable 650W unit from someone else instead of buying it yourself and see if that helps.
