Hey, I've been bothered the last few days by something that happens occasionally when I'm gaming. I've been able to game flawlessly usually, but now I'm getting some power issues, I think.
Whenever I'm in a game which is RAM heavy such as Rust, or GTA 5, and the world needs to load in, my computer freezes, the audio being dragged and stretched in my speaker/earbuds (audio freezing too) and occasionally, it'll hard-freeze and require me to shut off the computer through my button. The first time it happened, I went and dusted out the entire computer. It happened again, so I updated graphics drivers, updated my BIOS (they were very outdated, 2016) I have an ASUS G11CD-K computer. It still happens when I'm playing.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
2 VENGEANCE 8GB RAM sticks (16GB)
500W power supply
Think these are the most important specs.
I also checked the event manager thingy on Windows, and i have a critical error called 41 Kernel-Power that happens apparently.
Here's a screenshot of my power usage, gpu temp & usage and FB usage (i dont know what FB usage means) while my computer is freezing up like this

Please help me. I realized this is most likely related to GPU, considering when I startup the game rust, and look at Task Manager at the same time, my GPU will go to 0% usage for the game and thats when the entire computer freezes up and my mouse moves stuttery. Please move to graphics cards.
