I've got your setup and the issue is clear. The system boots up and runs normally for a while, but after roughly ten minutes the monitor loses signal. Power buttons remain unresponsive, and switching the PSU on/off doesn't fix it. Could be a power supply or RAM issue. Check connections and consider testing with a different PSU if possible.
Monitor the heat levels, ensuring the GPU and RAM stay within safe limits. Performance should remain stable up to about 85°C. Consider removing the video card drivers and switching to an older version or a newer one that might fix issues where the GPU shuts down or drivers fail to restart.
I'll verify, I understand the CPU runs around 45-50. I can attempt that, thanks.
It seems the issue might be related to the RAM, unless the motherboard is faulty. Changing the GPU fixed it, but the computer stops working after 30-45 minutes. I've tried adjusting the RAM to check if it's a single stick or dual, but it still doesn't work.
Ending a system after repeated shutdowns usually stems from overheating issues—such as a failing power supply, an improperly attached heatsink, or a malfunctioning CPU due to inadequate cooling. Alternatively, faulty drivers might corrupt memory or trigger errors, leading to a hard crash and subsequent shutdown. Most temperatures can be tracked using free tools like HWInfo or other monitoring software. A faulty RAM module may also cause data corruption in that area, resulting in failures rather than a simple blue screen. Memory testing is straightforward; create a bootable USB and run a memory checker like Memtest. Check the event viewer logs in the control panel for any warnings before shutdowns or crashes. Verify if the graphics card you purchased was used for mining, as custom BIOS settings might affect stability. Updating the card to its default BIOS could resolve the problem.

Nothing too intense unless you're feeling bold and the windows are becoming too heavy for the system. Both the CPU and GPU temperatures stay below 48°C. I swapped out the motherboard since the previous one kept failing with random drive and USB issues. All components except the new one have been functioning well for over a year, and they were recently replaced. The new motherboard includes a USB port with BIOS—could it be that the backup drive is connected there, possibly causing complications?
