System experiencing frequent crashes and display issues PC is overheating and behaving erratically
I just installed a new PC and it functions properly except for a notable problem. Occasionally, while playing a game, my screen flickers and any audio plays repeatedly in a repetitive manner—like a looping sound effect. When the screen glitches, it mostly turns black, but certain colors from before appear, though altered in hue. For instance, if a yellow smiley face was visible, it might turn orange during the glitch, while the rest of the screen becomes black. Could this be related to my GPU? I had a friend assist with driver installation after finishing the PC, and I wonder if they might have made a mistake. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

- 750W power supply
- 80+ Bronze rating
Only one title is available—Kerbal Space Program. I haven’t saved the rest yet. It stopped before, with my edge and Spotify playing in the background, and it ended up just when Task Manager was running. I don’t understand what any of the logs say, but there were no errors reported when the PC crashed.
You've received a new install of the game you were playing. Your PC is running smoothly now, but recently it shut down unexpectedly after restarting. The Windows Event Viewer showed an error about License Activation failing. Since you're using the free version without a product key, this could be related to activation issues or other software conflicts.
No click sound was detected. I’ve gathered more details on Windows logs and in the application logs, it seems a SEP error appears each time my PC crashes. I think this is the same issue mentioned in the AMD Community post: SCEP Certificate Enrollment Initialization Errors.
