PC shuts down unexpectedly during games – checked all options, nothing works.
PC shuts down unexpectedly during games – checked all options, nothing works.
I saw you mentioned Kernel Error 41, which is connected to power issues. That likely points to question number three. Here are some details that might help:
1. What duration did your stress tests last?
2. How quickly does the system crash during gameplay?
3. Have you used a UPS power supply or are you planning to? This could be useful since Kernel Error 41 often stems from power problems. The PSU itself seems fine, but the wall power might still have issues affecting performance.
4. Did you bring your PC to any repair facilities? Did it fail there? If not, a UPS power supply might be necessary—this isn't just for PCs, but for any device and usually costs less than $100. I'm here to help!
I tested FurMark with OCCT for 20 minutes. My performance drops quickly—sometimes in 10 minutes, other times up to 20, sometimes not at all. It crashed at a repair shop around March after my GPU was replaced, and they changed it twice. I don’t have funds for a UPS; if I do, I’ll consider it later. Yes, the same happened when I first replaced my GPU—it crashed too, so they replaced it again on the same day and time. The next day I came home and it crashed again.
Consider running a Linpack Extreme stress test—it appears to be a more comprehensive evaluation than OCCT. It quickly highlights RAM and CPU stability issues. From my perspective, RAM tests often fail in the command line, whereas CPU problems usually cause the system to freeze.
