System checks cease, devices power down yet machine remains active
System checks cease, devices power down yet machine remains active
Hello, I've noticed my computer shutting down unexpectedly while using it. The monitors cease to respond and all peripherals shut off, though the PC remains powered on. Fans and RGB lights stay active, but the Corsair RGB fans revert to default settings. This began after I swapped my CPU cooler from a stock AMD Wraith Spire to Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 and upgraded my SSD from a 120GB Samsung to a 250GB Samsung 970Evo. Initially, I thought it was a migration issue, so I removed everything from Samsung, including the NVMe drivers. The problem persisted. I suspected a power supply concern, but after confirming the PSU could handle my system, I tried restoring system files using sfc/scannow and other commands. It fixed a few, but then the issue reappeared. I’m unsure if the migration caused the problem or if it was something else. Playing Cities:Skylines helped, but it’s still frustrating. Thanks for your understanding.
Punctuation changes the meaning a lot when seeking assistance. It looks like you've already checked for issues yourself. Just because the PSU has a high rating doesn't guarantee it's perfect. It might still be faulty. Could you try running other programs to see if they work? A stress test or benchmark could help determine if the system fails under load. If it does, then the PSU or overheating could be the cause. Have you checked the temperatures?
first of all sorry for my lack of punctuation second I can play other games I could actually play cities skylines for a while after I moved it from my ssd to my hdd but problems have ressumed and I doubt overheating is to blame because my max cpu temp is around 45-50 degrees celsius and I have the acrilic of my case because the cpu cooler doesn´t fit in my case by a few millimeters and an air conditioner is aimed straight at it so I doubt my GPU is overheating but I will try a stress test and report back here Thanks for your advice
Sure, just let me know how you'd like to access your event viewer and/or error logs.
Click the Windows icon, select Computer Management. In Event Viewer, locate Windows Logs. Start by checking the System logs, then consider Application logs. You can narrow results to critical errors, which usually provide useful hints about system issues. My note about punctuation was intended to assist you better. You’ll receive more helpful answers if we can clearly understand your problem.
