Your computer is getting too hot.
Your computer is getting too hot.
You recently purchased a new build but it's overheating, and you're unsure what's causing it. Your setup includes an RTX 3060, a Ryzen 5 5600X, and 16 GB of RAM.
It's not just excessive heat from poor cooling, but the system remains stable. The 5900x CPU consistently stays between 70°C and 80°C without triggering shutdown or throttling.
You're getting confused about why your screen behaves this way. It sounds like the issue might be related to the power source or a display problem. Your friend is right to consider the power supply as a potential cause.
Everyone suspects the PSU, but it’s usually another cause 99% of the time. Unless you’re using a very weak PSU under 400W, the issue is likely elsewhere. Check the Windows Event Viewer for WHEA errors to see what’s happening.
I didn't detect any mistakes, though it might seem like you're struggling.
Sure, I can show you how to check the Event Viewer with the "WHEA" filter. It helps identify hardware errors during shutdowns. When your PC shuts down, it logs system events in the Event Viewer. The "WHEA" filter focuses on hardware-related entries, such as disk failures or power issues. Reviewing these logs can reveal why shutdowns occur and guide troubleshooting steps.
