Restarting PC for gameplay or everyday activities
Restarting PC for gameplay or everyday activities
Need to check the power supply first before looking at the CPU specs.
I've already reset it, but it stopped working after a short time and then failed again.
I'm new to this setup, trying the i7 4790 RX 580 with an i7 16Gb DDR3 cooler. I reset it once, it functioned well at first but then failed again after a while.
Here are some suggestions to investigate:
- Determine if the issue occurs during idle or only when under heavier stress, such as playing games or watching long videos. Compare scenarios like streaming a movie versus leaving it running, or using Cinebench vs. furmark.
- If the problem appears only when under load, verify whether it happens across all loads or is limited to CPU-heavy or GPU-heavy tasks.
- Try testing with just one RAM stick. This can help identify if a faulty stick is causing the issue.
- Consider upgrading your power supply to a newer model; an old PSU may fail under stress.
- Inspect the PSU’s fan—damaged fans might shut off due to overheating protection.
- Monitor temperatures for components like CPU and GPU. A failing fan, pump, or degraded thermal paste could be the cause.
