Question about Gaming Leading to PC Crashes
Question about Gaming Leading to PC Crashes
I recently assembled a computer and noticed that after some time, the game would freeze while audio remained active. Typically, the whole screen freezes then audio stops around one minute later. Shortly afterward, the text turns red, I can’t control the game, and both my keyboard and mouse stop working. After roughly ten minutes, the whole system resets, and whenever I attempt to play a game again, the issue persists. My CPU runs at 32 degrees idle and about 65 when gaming, while my GPU stays around 60 degrees or lower during play. I’m concerned it might be due to overheating, but I’m not sure. I’ve heard graphics settings could be the cause, though that was just one suggestion. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
No, you aren't showing any signs of overheating, as the temperature readings stay within normal and safe levels. The issue could be elsewhere. Have you also performed a clean installation or format of the Windows operating system after assembling this computer? What games are you currently running?
When several software applications are active on your computer, they may lead to instability and crashes. This issue often arises when multiple antivirus programs are running simultaneously or when a game mod is applied that isn't compatible with your operating system.
