PC malfunctions during gameplay yet remains stable under load tests.
PC malfunctions during gameplay yet remains stable under load tests.
I'm dealing with a frustrating issue where my PC frequently crashes while gaming. The screen goes black suddenly and the machine restarts. In my dual monitor configuration, both screens connected to the GPU stay dark, but when one connects to the motherboard it shows the login screen without any beeps. I initially suspected a failing power supply, but after replacing it with a new unit it still crashes. I've run stress tests on the GPU using tools like 3DMark and FurMark, and they're stable. My CPU passed similar checks with OCCT and CineBench. RAM tests with MemTest86 also showed no issues. I've reset the BIOS to defaults, enabled XMP profiles, and even swapped power outlets without success. The only changes were thermal throttling warnings in Windows Event Viewer (kernel error 41), but no logs appear. My current hardware includes an MSI MAG A850GL PSU, 850W 80 Plus Gold motherboard, AsRock B650 Pro RS Wifi, Ryzen 5 7600, and other components. I'm exhausted and haven't exceeded my budget.
Check your system for the newest BIOS and chipset updates. Are you running the most recent Windows version, or did you upgrade from an older installation?
Yes the bios and all drivers are the latest version. It's a new build, so fresh windows install.
