PC often stops unexpectedly with BSODs or simply shuts down and restarts while playing.
PC often stops unexpectedly with BSODs or simply shuts down and restarts while playing.
This is a very random issue and I have no idea how to fix it. When I'm playing a game (the only game this has happened in is fortnite) it will be playing fine for ages with no issues at all, but then it will randomly either freeze and then BSOD or just restart. Looking at event viewer tells me that it quote "unexpectedly shut down" and that epic games launcher had stopped working twice within about 10 minutes (I'm not sure if this information is helpful) if anyone has any ideas please let me know. My next move if no one does is to re-install windows without loosing my files so I can keep important data.
Verify your PSU. If your CPU includes an IGPU, attempt to detach any GPU from the system and run solely on the IGPU to determine if the problem persists.
Your GPU is a 3060 Ti while the CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600. The GPU handles up to 210W, and the CPU draws about 75W. Your PSU is rated at 650W. This issue seems to have started recently.
Visit C:\Windows\Minidump to see if any minidump files exist. If present, return to the Windows directory and transfer the entire Minidump folder to the Downloads folder (use your desktop if needed). Compress the copied folder and include it in a post. Please adhere strictly to instructions since Windows doesn't allow file manipulation there.
