PC shuts down after short usage periods.
PC shuts down after short usage periods.
This began when I first set up the machine a few weeks ago, roughly around that time. It seems capable of handling everything from simple web browsing to complex tasks like gaming. Within 5 to 10 minutes, any open apps—such as Chrome, Discord, and others—would stop functioning. I could still tap on desktop icons and use Ctrl+Alt+Del to launch Task Manager, which would freeze. The taskbar also became unresponsive. Eventually, everything stopped working within a minute or so. I ran memory and stress tests to see if I could trigger the crash, but it occurred during that window. It paused for a few weeks before resuming. I tried turning off integrated graphics, expecting it to resolve the problem, but it remained disabled. Expo/XMP features were both disabled and enabled. I’m currently using safe mode to check if the issue recurs. I found a discussion about an NZXT setup, though I don’t use that hardware. My system is running Windows 10 with all updates applied: MSI B650 Tomahawk WIFI BIOS, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, MSI SUPRIM 4070TI, MSI MAG A750G, and a 32GB DDR5 RAM setup. The boot drive includes a WD BLACK m.2 500TB and two Lian Li 360 AIO 10x fans. No notable events were logged in the Windows event viewer regarding crashes. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! P.S. It took me about ten minutes to enter safe mode, and nothing has froze yet.
