MY PC has been constantly crashing recently, and I don't know whether it's a faulty PSU or just very hot weather helping create this issue..
More in-detail, I've run CPU tests with IntelBurn and GPU tests with Furmark, so theoretically they're fine, however I've read up alot and I'm starting to come to the conclusion it's my PSU. However, after doing a Speccy report which hasn't shown any 'unexpected power loss' - I'm questioning what it could be.
It crashed a lot before I decided to clean the insides of my PC, however much more frequent crashes have been occuring. Anyway I cleaned out the dust with canned air (in addition, I cleaned and reapplied fresh thermal paste from the cpu/fan) -- after a very long time of the dust accumulating in there. Many upgrades have been made overtime too. However the PSU hasn't been one of those upgrades.
Main specs:
Windows 10 64-bit
Core i5 7600
MSI H270 TOMAHAWK ARCTIC
Radeon RX 470
16GB Fury RAM
Speccy results: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/NyKpeqO328BLjOYsATk1fpf
Is there any way I can diagnose the issue further? And are there any assumptions that can be made?
Thankyou for any help in advance!
EDIT: My PC hasn't crashed as of yet, and I was playing games and what not last night for many hours, the hot 38 degrees (celcius) weather definitely had a big influence to the constant crashes. Is this something that I can't change? apart from possibly adding more fans in the case (there are 3 more spots I can use).
