Hello folks!
New PC here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H7bhnL
Crashing and freezing randomly under gaming load. I have been PC gaming for decades, this is the most unstable system I have ever had, runs like a dream when running just having random issues.
I have had it about 5 months, cooling is good, and very stable when doing load tests on it (Prime, FurMark, 3dmark). I have argus monitor watching my temps and kicking on extra case fans as GPU gets hot- generally at full load of both CPU and GPU GPU is ~75c and CPU in the mid 60c. So I don't think is a heating issue, but happy to provide logs.
Some games more than other, but I just get random crashes- sometimes Windows will will lock up and I will have to hold powerbutton hard reboot- other times it will "click" off screen goes black but I can hear system still running and I have to manually power off. Other times, like with Warframe for example, its a crash to desktop.
When screens go blank, often times I have to turn off powersupply and when it comes up POST will go into safemode since it had a failed start. I enter BIOS, exit and boots normally.
I have made sure all my drivers are up to date..ect
My gut tells me my GPU or PSU is unstable or perhaps the built in overclock for the EVGA is having issues.
Certain games that are picky about overclocked GPU like FinalFantasy XIV seem to crash more(old crappier PC hardly ever crashed), but really its across the board wide array of games. During stress testing it handles fine, so I can only assume its random.
Any idea on how to start troubleshooting or narrowing down my issue?
Thanks!
I know this is a long post but wanted to give all the details
