I built a new pc the first of the year. It ran fine for a couple of weeks but now I am getting blue screens / restarts when my computer is gaming. This seems to only happen under heavier loads, like playing Fortnite. I can run my computer all day or play something like Civ VI and I don't have any issues but as soon as you load up Fortnite it will sometimes crash during the loading screen.
My build is:
Ryzen 7 2700 - stock cooler AMD Wraith Spire, from what I can tell this is ok, CPU not overclocked
MSI B450 Tomahawk
16GB DDR4-3000 Corsair Memory (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)
XFX Radeon RX 580 (previously had MSI GTX 970, same problem)
1TB SSD
2TB Hard Drive
EVGA Supernova G2 550W Modular Power Supply
I traded my video card out thinking that may be the problem. I was running a nVidia GTX 970 but the new Radeon card is doing the same thing.
So far I have:
-exchanged motherboard for a new board
-entered CAS, timing and voltage for RAM in the BIOS / I have tried all different kinds of settings and the system still crashes
-ran two sweeps of MemTest and system tested good, I also tried one ram stick in at a time and the game still crashed
-updated BIOS to latest version - 7C02v17 (3/6/19)
-updated all drivers using Driver Booster 6
-ran Prime95 and heated my cpu up to 85c for 5-10mins and the system was stable
-switched Corsair RAM out for 16GB Corsair DDR4-2400, (CMK16GX4M2A2400C14) same issue
-switched back in Geforce GTX970 card, still crashing
Looking for any suggestions on things I could try.
Thanks in advance!
