Left my computer running a game and when I came back after roughly one hour, it was frozen on the boot screen. Ever since, the motherboard speakers keep on making a clicking/ticking sound. At some point it stops for a couple of seconds and then the computer restarts to repeat the same. I'm sure...

I have tried my best to understand what is causing my pc to crash when I game. My GPU and CPU both weren't overheating. So i was confused as to what was causing the problem. The first suspect was my PSU. As it was still under warranty, I went ahead and got it replaced. Still my issue persisted...

my computer has been freezing on the windows logo screen, even after I trigger the automatic repair, it either has the circle kept rolling forever or also freezes as well. I have used my setup for more than a year, so I don't think it will be a Compatability issue. this issue has been with my...
