One final bump and update for anyone who might come across this thread later: I did figure out my issue. I took my PC to a local shop for diagnostics and they concluded it was a power draw issue due to insufficient wattage from my power supply when under load in game. They swapped out my EVGA...

This was and still kind of is my gut feeling. My PC sits on top of my desk and is situated at the corner of my office space. I also live in what is easily one of the hottest climates in the United States so my room temperature is probably much higher than what others might be used to for...

I hear ya, I'm definitely going to update my BIOS when I have a free moment here, was just following up on some other suggestions and I also want to make sure I'm familiar with the process and understand the details of the latest version I flash to MOBO.

Went ahead and ran Memtest. 4 passes, I monitored it throughout and saw that each pass was successful, no errors detected in either case. View: https://imgur.com/a/iwXNX1K I also ran ckdsk c: /f, it required a restart since C: drive is obviously in use, so any scanning and repairing was...

To my knowledge, I haven't touched anything with the BIOS drives or Chipset drivers since I built my system back in 2018. This might be a dumb question here but is it definitely worth upgrading the BIOS when possible? I had always read that it wasn't necessarily worth updating it if my system...

I don't think so. I believe Valorant uses Vanguard anti cheat, which was the subject of some controversy for running on a kernel driver. I will say though that a common thread among the games I've experienced crashes in is that all of them were created on Unreal Engine 4. This includes Fortnite...

Thanks for the reply, I'm attaching some results of the AIDA64 tests you noted. Ran it for 20 minutes, was monitoring HWInfo while that was going on as well. Wasn't seeing anything out of the ordinary but I might do another test to doubly sure (I haven't previously used HWInfo so there was quite...

For sure. I'm thinking something might still be wrong with the PSU but I'd like to try to find out with some certainty. I recently took my PSU out of my case to thoroughly dust it with some compressed air and even after the thorough cleaning and reconnecting it I got a shutdown while ingame...

Gotcha, then it appears CBS.log which was created from running that command has all the log data. As you mentioned it's a pretty large file, over 6200 lines for me. While not entirely intuitive to search through it, I went through it in Sublime and tried to find what exactly was repaired. I see...

Thanks for your reply, I went ahead and ran SFC /SCANNOW and this was the result, looks like some corrupted files were able to be fixed View: https://imgur.com/a/g122Xze When I have an extra sec I will run those Aida64 and HWinfo64 tests and report back, thanks for the tip on P95, it did seem...

Thanks for your reply, I did run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth in my command prompt, this was the result. I might have overlooked something, is the output stored to a log like CBS.log or something? This was the result of running that command. View: https://imgur.com/a/Qvhtgbw...

Hi all, I'm running into a strange issue with my PC right now and am looking for some assistance. For the past month or so now I've been running into an issue where my PC will sometimes suddenly shut down while I'm in the middle of playing a game. This most frequently was happening when I was...
