The recent upgrade is causing unexpected shutdowns during gameplay.
I initially suspected the GPU was the issue since hardware problems could cause such behavior. I tried using another system, and everything functioned normally. Then I considered the CPU, running a stress test with AIDA64 that lasted 30 minutes without any problems. However, when I tested with CS2 or a GPU benchmark, it shut down unexpectedly. The temperatures were within normal ranges—CPU peaked at 75°C and GPU at 77°C. It seems the cause might be something else; please let me know what you'd like to do next.
What are your specifications? It seems my power supply might be insufficient.
What are your complete details? The power supply seems faulty or improperly connected—make sure all cables are secure.
is a ryzen 5 5500 rx 5700xt with 16gb ram, 3200mhz processor, 700w power supply, evga psu, and m.2 sata drive.
All the connections were correctly placed. I contacted a technician who confirmed it was due to thermal issues. After switching to a better cooling solution, the problem persisted, and he suggested a faulty CPU. While I don’t believe it’s a CPU issue, it might still be worth investigating further.
Case details: specific model and fan count not provided.
RX 5700XT specifications: unspecified in the query.
Last cleaning/repasting: no date given.
Latest BIOS: not mentioned.
the latest motherboard bios only seem to be problematic, but I’ve replaced the fans—now there are four—and the RX 5700 XT Gaming OC RGB is running smoothly. I also tested it on another system while playing Cyberpunk at ultra with 60fps, which suggests the issue isn’t with the GPU itself.
Are you certain your setup is in an area with adequate ventilation? Your power supply might be overheating and cutting off to protect itself.
