Question My pc keeps crashing while playing games

[PorowSnax]

Hello I built a new pc last month, everything was fine until 3 days ago. While playing red dead 2 i had my pc crash.

Symptoms

1. Black screen
2. all usb connect devices flashes (I think they are resetting)
3. All fans on the pc are still spinning. RGB lights are still on, so thats cool...
4. GPU has a solid white led light above 8 pin connector. (Sometimes they blink)

System spec
CPU: AMD Rysen 2700X 3.7 ghz
RAM: 32 gb ram 3000 mhz
GPU: gigabyte aorus 2080
PSU: TX750M 750W

Things I try

• Check to make sure both 8 pin connector are properly connected (they are the pci-e connectors both are 6+2 connectors)
• Use Haven benchmark to try to stress test the pc (no crash)
• Play other games (no crash)

Thanks for any advice

Monitor your cpu and gpu temps. Rd2 uses a lot of gpu and cpu resources. Check if you see any high temps.

Temps are around 75-80 c for both gpu and cpu when playing red dead

I also have the same issue where I'm playing MW or something else and my pc crashes. The only thing on are the rgb's on my 2 ram sticks
