My PC has been running games smoothly until last week when the PC restarted while playing Apex. This happened only a few times and I didn't think much of it. However, a few days later, some games I couldn't even launch and others my entire PC became frozen. This freezing only occurred while running games. In Task Manager, I noticed that my CPU usage was oddly high, peaking up to 100%. I tried changing power settings, reinstalling the games, reinstalling Windows 10, updating drivers, cleaning the fans, and underclocking my GPU. None of these worked. Today, running any program results in the entire PC freezing at random times. I had to press on the power button just to turn the PC off.


After all of this, I think this is a hardware issue rather than software. I'm thinking that my problem is related to my PSU. I bought a prebuilt ASUS PC (G11CD) with a 500W PSU. The brand was "Delta", a Chinese brand that I have never heard of before. Note that I also added an SSD five months ago. What do you guys think?


Thanks!
