Discussion PC crashes after I STOP playing a game.

[juandi987]

It runs fine while I'm playing, even when I ran a stress test with AIDA64, but whenever I close the game and the PC cools down, it's shuts down or crashes. This started happening after I cleaned the PC. When I removed the cooler, the CPU came with it and bent a couple pins, but I fixed it and now I have this weird problem.

I performed a Windows memtest and it came out with no problems.

Specs:

R5 5600x with stock cooler
RTX 3070
2x8GB @3200MT/s
Motherboard ASRock B450 steel legend.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Only one game? Or other games as well?

What game(s) ? Source?

= = = =

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for any error codes, warnings, or even informational events being logged after you shut down the game.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

I only played Expeditions after I cleaned it and this started happening. But it also happened with AIDA64 stress test.
In event viewer I only found the critical error that PC was cut power.
PSU is EVGA 750W, no power efficiency label
I have a wd 512GB m.2
Crucial 512GB m.2
Kingston 512GB SATA SSD
Wd 1TB 3.5 7200rpm

How was the PC cleaned?

What all was done?

I cleaned it with an air blower and replaced thermal paste. I also added a Corsair fan I had laying around.

By "air blower" you mean canned air - correct?

And you followed the instructions on the can - correct?

Did you allow the fans to spin while being blasted with air?

What thermal paste and how was the paste applied?

Make and model Corsair fan - source?

What about the logs? Any entries?

No, its like a portable air compressor.
I guess I allowed the PSU fan to spin.
The thermal paste is the DeepCool Z3, I applied it doing like a double Y shape.
It's a Corsair SP120, but I don't have the HUB, so I just use it without the RGB.
The logs show problems with GameInput Service, saying it stopped unexpectedly and also with TPM-WMI, saying it could not update a secure boot variable so secure boot is disabled. The event Ids are 1796 for TPM and 7034, 7023, 7031.
