Heya! I just bought and build my own PC with the following specs less than a month ago:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz
Gigabyte GeForce 1060 3GB
16GB DDR4 RAM Corsair Vengeance
Asrock AM350 Pro
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD
1TB WD Blue
EVGA Supernova 550W G2
The first three weeks everything was fine and ran without issues. However suddenly over the last couple days when I play a game my computer completely freezes and I have to do a forced manual restart. After that it runs well again until roughly 30-60 minutes upon which it freezes again.
Now the only thing that changed since couple days ago is that I ran CCleaner and updated my graphics drivers.
The event viewer in windows isn't showing much unless I'm missing something.
What is causing this? BTW my system is installed on my SSD and the games on the HDD. Could that be it? However, I tried Heaven which I installed on the SSD and same issue.
What should I do to narrow the problem down? I already ran FurMark a couple times which froze my computer once but other than that it worked fine. I tried prime95, also no problem.
I tried clean-installing the graphic drivers, and then both Heaven and FurMark and the games ran fine, however the computer now completely freezes upon exiting those programs.
I usually hear a noise like a fan accelerating and then it freezes and I have to manually restart.
My FurMark and Heaven temperatures are also ok, same with CPU. CPU doesn't go above 62 and GPU doesn't go above 74C.
Is the PSU not delivering enough power? But how can that be, the PSU has been rated as one of the best and according to everything I checked online 550W should be more than enough?
Please help, if anything is broken my return date for Amazon is over soon :/
UPDATE: After reformatting the SDD and the HDD and reinstalling Windows, the computer now freezes everytime I restart the machine! Haven't checked games yet.
What could that be? PSU problem? PLEASE HELP!
