The game stops unexpectedly during startup.
Your home's wiring might be the problem, especially if your older power supply failed.
my house has an older setup. when I moved into a newer one, my PC also failed. i purchased a prebuilt model five years back and when it broke, I used the warranty PC. i’ve received the free PC twice. recently, my free PC failed again, so i went for a genuine one. my current PC is 1000W, while the last one was 650W.
A 1000w PSU might not be the main issue. If it keeps crashing, RAM compatibility with the CPU is probably the cause. If GPU problems occur, expect video glitches or BSODs when drivers reset. Clarify what you mean by "Crashes" by checking the event log—use bluescreenview if BSOD appears to identify the driver.
If the PC restarts, it indicates excessive power consumption. It could be due to a faulty PSU or improper installation of the cooler on the CPU, causing a thermal shutdown. The "Event Viewer" can provide insights, showing events like "bugcheck" during a blue screen or "Kernel-Power" if it shuts down automatically. Thermal shutdowns are more challenging to diagnose. You should check your motherboard's documentation for troubleshooting steps. Tools like Aida64 can offer detailed data, though they're only useful if your motherboard includes them. Test the CPU in isolation to see if it overheats and restarts, which would point to the CPU. If it only restarts with GPU load, verify power connections or cables. A defective PSU is possible, but it's often the most difficult to identify.
Do you have a return policy for new components? Consider ordering another 1000W PSU from a different brand. If it functions, request a cash refund via RMA for the previous unit. If not, simply return the new one.
If it's the power supply unit, it tends to fail in the same manner each time. When the CPU cooler isn't installed properly, it will shut down at the identical temperature consistently, usually within seconds when a load is applied, and the thermal shutdown will resemble pulling the power cord from the wall. Overloading the GPU with a PSU can cause the same outcome. At this stage, consider replacing the PSU while it's still under warranty.
