Hi everyone, first time posting but long time peruser of forums whenever I have issues with my computer.
My PC keeps completely freezing when playing anything halfway intensive, and the only remedy is to turn it off and on again. When I say "completely freezes" I mean the entire computer just loses all function, sometimes resulting in a BSOD but mostly not even that, just a frozen screen. Day-to day work is fine, even if I have heaps of tabs and Spotify and Discord running while downloading updates on Steam. I can play weaksauce games like League and Starbound, and even Warframe on medium isn't a hassle. Anything higher than that like New World, Witcher 3, or even Warframe on ultra, just causes the entire computer to freeze. Before I was having issues like this, I could play Far Cry 6 and Cyberpunk 2077 with RTX on and still hit 60FPS easy.
I read that a failing PSU can often be the cause of these problems? My benchmark stats (recorded literally just before I posted this) are as follows (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/49187948) and I've had my rig since April 2016
My parts are as follows:
GPU - ASUS GTX 3060Ti (Previously GTX 980Ti)
CPU - Intel Skylake i7-6700K 4.0GHz
PSU - 850W Corsair RM850x Fully Modular Gold
MTB - Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
RAM - 4 x 4GB Kingston HyperX FURY 2133MHz DDR4
OS - Windows 10 64-Bit\
Any help would be spectacular <3 I just want to game again D:
Cheers,
HunterInExile
