[SOLVED] computer keeps crashing

[Orinay]

after an hour or two of having the computer on it will crash and immediately restart on its own. my gpu is hotter than normal at 47-48 celsius instead of usual 35, that's the only thing i can think of but also i just updated the driver for the card to a 2020 version (gigabyte radeon rx 5700 xt)

yes it is a br 600 and my cpu temp is between 50-60

BR600 may be your issue. Its not a very good model.

You can rule out your ram by testing it:

i wouldn't spend two cents on a new psu just yet just because someone dosent like your particular psu choice...i would reset the bios and leave everything stock and try testing particular componets like ram, the gpu driver thing is another potential issue esp because amd gpus and their software are known for having issues where it will work and the update will break the card....also i think what could be happening could potentially be a cooling issue. like the cpu getting to hot and turning the pc off

 

[Orinay]

after updating my drivers on my graphics card (patch notes said it fixed issue where switching between applications could cause a crash) the problem is fixed and haven't had crashes since
