My First gaming PC:
Dell Inspiron Gaming PC
AMD Ryzen 5 processor
AMD RX 270
Hey Guys,
New to this forum, figured I'd ask the question here, since I'm all out of answers. My computer kept restarting randomly when I would play games. I'm new to working on my own PC, so i asked questions at geek squad and watched youtube to narrow down the issue. I downloaded Fur Mark, and put my GPU under a stress test. Far more invasive then Fortnite. Everything looked good, no spikes, and no restart. So then i tested the processor to see if it was maybe over heating by running it at 65% and see if the restarting stopped. That didn't work so i figured id put downnthe processor as not overheating. So everything led me to it possibly being the Power supply. So i ordered a new one and installed it. And the computer runs good. (Just a little louder) no restart so far although i havent played for long periods of time, because everytime i go into my game, the graphics card starts buzzing. Only when I'm in the game. I am trying to figure out the next step. The only difference in my power supplies, is that the 1st one had 2 metal pins missing from the connector. This one has 1. Please help lol
