[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

Before doing anything else go into Reliability History and Event Viewer.

Look for error codes and warnings that occur just before or at the time of the crashes.

You can also use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer to observe system performance and activity.

Do so while doing light work without internet, then while browsing online, and lastly while gaming.

Determine how your system is responding and performing with respect to each computing situation.

Key is to identify the problem either directly or by elimination before resorting to broader fixes...

Every PSU was fine the previous day..up until it failed, or, began to. (some can brown out under load, leading to your symptoms)

Or, the GPU could be failing....try another...

Drop down to 2 sticks of RAM, and retest for stability...; if no change, try the other pair....

If your CPU is not overclocked, what are it's temps under load? A 10 minute run of Prime95/small FFTs (no AVX2) will give you the worst reading you'd ever see, easily 10-13C above typical gaming temps)

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.

it is not the games that are crashing, it is my whole pc
