Question Random System "Crashing"
Question Random System "Crashing"
In the last two months I've faced a persistent issue while playing games. At random moments during gameplay, my screen turns completely black and all other sounds except the fans become silent. A hard restart is required manually using the designated button. There hasn't been a crash notification available for analysis to determine the cause.
It began with Total War Three Kingdoms, usually after several hours of play. Then it occurred multiple times in XCom Chimera Squad. Now it's happening more often in Cyberpunk 2077, which is known for its bugs and instability, but this seems different. A crash to desktop would be one possibility, a blue screen another, but this appears to be something else entirely.
I haven't enabled overclocking on the GPU; only the CPU is being adjusted. I've been monitoring the temperatures of components on the secondary monitor, but it's difficult to capture precise readings at the exact crash moments since changes happen unexpectedly. Still, during peak usage I rarely see temperatures high enough to cause concern. The CPU reaches around 58°C at its maximum, GPU up to 62°C, and the motherboard stays between 45-48°C. It doesn't seem like an overheating issue, though it feels that way—things return to normal once I let everything cool down.
Perhaps a power-related problem or voltage issue is involved, but I'm not sure.
