The PC stops working during gameplay?
I recently assembled a R5 3600 NVidia 2060 setup and it has been functioning smoothly until I began using demanding games. At that point, my PC would randomly restart without any warning, followed by the motherboard screen appearing during the reboot. To troubleshoot, I ran a Cinebench stress test, which consistently ended after about one-fourth of the test duration. Anyone have experience with this issue? What might be causing these shutdowns?
Possible reasons could include:
- The PSU cable is missing the 4-pin ATX12v2 CPU connector for the motherboard
- The CPU overheats, reaching 36°C in Ryzen Master while browsing and up to 55°C during a game
- The case fans aren’t providing sufficient airflow or my Hyper 212 black RGB edition isn’t cooling the system effectively
I own the Hyper 212 Evo RGB Black Edition, and according to the reviews it has a decent air cooler that seems to work. However, I think the issue might be related to the case's poor ventilation, which isn't cooling the cooler sufficiently. If I need to upgrade, I'll look into replacing the cooler. Regarding the 4 pin connector, I'm curious if during high-performance games it could fail due to lack of power. Would switching to an 8 pin to 8+4 pin adapter work, or would I need a different power supply?
The additional energy is required only when the parts you're employing rely entirely on the motherboard for power.
I have an AsRock B550 Pro 4 as my motherboard, and I’m not sure if it provides enough power to cover things like the keyboard, mouse, or USB ports on the board. Since I use them a lot.
It seems the graphics card isn't providing sufficient power, leading to crashes.
