Hi Guys,
recently I've been having problems with the pc I put together late last year.
I didn't notice this being a problem until a few weeks ago and I believe it has been happening more often recently
When playing certain games, it goes to a black screen and the fans rev up. It does not shut down, I have to manually shut it off and reboot in order to use it again.
This doesn't happen for all games (overwatch, sea of thieves, CSGO have been running with no issues). However other games do cause this problem. Those games aren't necessarily very demanding (I believe even Disco Elysium caused a "crash").
The most reliable way for me to recreate the issue have been to boot up Guild Wars 2 which crashes the instant I load into a level everytime. Using CEMU for BOTW also reliably ends in a black screen.
I've had this happen both on loading a game and ALT+tabbing back into one.
I found someone on google who had similar issues and they reported that replacing the thermal paste on their gpu helped. I have done this for both cpu and gpu but unfortunately it didn't help (I had a suspicion the CPU may be at fault because I was the one to apply the thermal paste in the first place and because both GW2 and CEMU are notoriously CPU intensive). Right now I'm thinking about testing another PSU because I read about this being the culprit in some cases, but I wanted to defer to your expertise before possibly spending more money for no good reason.
My Setup:
KFA2 RTX 2070 Super 8GB
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 x 3.60Ghz
16GB (2x 8192MB) G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3000 DIMM CL16-18-18-38 Dual Kit
500 Watt be quiet! Pure Power 11 Non-Modular 80+ Gold
512GB intel 660P M.2 SSD
MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX B450 AM4 7A38-043R Mainboard
Hopefully I've provided sufficient information, if not I'll make sure to update.
Cheers
