System powering off unexpectedly
System powering off unexpectedly
Hey! I see what's going on with your PC. It seems like it shuts down unexpectedly only when you play R6, not during normal browsing. The overheating of CPU and GPU hasn't been reported, and the shutdown behavior looks like it's entering a standby mode without any input. It only happens today, everything was fine yesterday. Your specs look solid—good setup overall. Let me know if you want to dig deeper!
Your PC keeps crashing even when turned off. I suspect a graphics driver issue is likely. Start with DDU and then reinstall AMD drivers. It looks like your GPU is fairly old and may struggle now. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need a replacement. Make sure no overclocks are active—you might even need to lower them. If that fails, a memory error could be the problem. Run a MEMTest on your RAM. Alternatively, consider repasting your CPU or GPU if you’re comfortable with the process.
I’d start with other games first, as it’s more likely the issue isn’t the game itself but a forced shutdown. A clean driver install, checking for Windows updates, and ensuring the game is up to date are good steps. If the problem persists, run benchmarks or use a hardware monitor to track temperature and resource usage. Avoid tweaking hardware until you’ve confirmed stability.
It began failing during regular tasks like browsing, unlike before. When I tried to turn it on, logged in without opening anything, it shut down again. I removed the GPU, restarted, but it still wouldn’t log in and crashed. Then I tried without the GPU, but this time it stopped at the Gigabyte display. With the GPU back in, it works now. Could this be a motherboard issue?
