hello everyone, this has never happened to me and i don’t understand the reason... so essentially whenever i play the game called ark, whether offline or online, i usually play for about 5 to 10 minutes and then the pc shuts off and goes into full mode like it doesn’t know why the fans are making such loud noises and the screen has no signal. is this because of overheating? when i got the new pc, it should run the game smoothly at 60fps or 75fps on medium/high settings (i’m currently using everything on low but with anti-aliasing on epic). my pc specs are:

gpu: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SSC GAMING ACX 3.0
cpu: Intel Core i5-6500 3.20ghz turbo 3.70ghz (i know it’s a bottleneck :/ )
ram: 16gb (4x samsung 2400mhz rams)
psu: Zalman Acrux 1000W Platinum

Check the Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer sections. Those tools might record error codes, warnings, or other events right before or during the system's unstable behavior.

Play the game using the free tool MSI Afterburner, which displays CPU and GPU temperatures, usage, and frame times on screen. The build shows minimal bottlenecks, making it suitable for running the game at full settings. Unless you have a good CPU cooler (not mentioned), potential issues may stem from dust buildup, poor ventilation in the case, or extremely high room temperatures—common in many US areas.

Also consider drive space: ensure at least 15% of available space is free, and if using an HDD, keep it defragmented.

Running SFC scans can identify corrupt system files, but they won’t fix them permanently if the source is a hardware or software problem. Disabling individual startups one by one can help pinpoint the cause.

Updating drivers resolved all issues, though I still need to clear some space on the system.

The percentage of available space visible in the drive's space bar is not specified, but if the bar turns red, it indicates the drive is using excessive data. Less than 15% free space may lead to issues.

it's blue, with 52.2GB free from a total of 476GB, and this issue begins whenever I use YouTube or at any other time now.

Ensure your device has at least 72 GB of available storage, which is just enough to satisfy the 15% free space guideline.
