The PC shuts down unexpectedly during certain applications.
I've been using my PC for roughly three months now, and only recently a problem has appeared. Mostly it affects Fortnite, with rare exceptions in R6 Siege. I’m certain my system can handle them perfectly—Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB RAM, 1660 SUPER. Yet this issue keeps happening. What’s going on is that during gameplay the screen goes black mid-match, and the RGB lights on my peripherals shut off when the PC restarts. I’m not sure what’s causing it, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It might be several things... Start with your GPU, keep it at default clocks and voltages, same for the CPU if it doesn’t work. If the issue continues, re-seat your RAM or run a memtest. If the problem stays, your PSU is failing and can’t handle the load. If switching to another PSU doesn’t fix it, there’s likely a bigger issue.
CPU usage is roughly sixty points, GPU consumption about seventy points.
I haven't increased clock speeds, I ran a memtest and it all checked out. The only change I made was swapping out the power supply. It's an EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G5, rated at 650 watts.
