[SOLVED] My pc keeps crashing at random intervals when playing games (desperate)

[HesteHund]

I play alot of games on my pc and have never encountered this before. It does not happen outside of games and i have never had this issue before

When i am playing games i can play for between 2-20 minutes before my pc crashes or it freezes and i manually have to hold down the power button.

MSI afterburner tells me that it is not heat and my CPU, RAM, disk, GPU have not been over 70% usage when it crashed

please help im deperate i have been trying to fix this <Mod Edit> for 13 hours and it just wont help i am desperate for anything

Of course, check your temps

Just did, it's barely warm to the touch

Just did, it's barely warm to the touch

And the GPU is at about 60-70

 

[vistagamer6969]

Well that's ok.
What's your PSU model? Like rm650 or tx650 or something similar

It says GQ after the 650W

However i have been playing while doing this and my pc has not crashed yet, it feels like there is no pattern to this

Your PSU is fine and it's EVGA btw

Thanks, got any other ideas for what the issue could be then?

Well you can try clean up your components if they are dusty... Even if The temps are good sometimes the dust is "the killer"

So you are saying that it is a hardware issue for certain?

Wait , first try older GPU drivers. the game could of changed and the current driver may cause it to crash. so first try rolling back to older gpu drivers.
First thing you always do when your comp crashes in games, the first root is your gpu , so target the drivers . use older drivers, or try the latest driver.
