[SOLVED] PC crashes but stays on, peripherals dont get power/input

[Shmoofle]

I built this pc about 8 months ago and my problem has only been happening in Rainbow Six Siege. I will be playing for about 30 or so minutes and my screen goes black theres an audio buzz for about half a second and my peripherals lose power. Sometimes i can get it to shut down in this state by just holding down the power button for 5 secs but sometimes ill have to unplug/ switch off the PSU. I dont really play too many games but i havnt noticed it happening in anything else i play like CSGO, So i suspect its either the game itself or the intensity of the game which would point towards PSU problems? Also my minidump file is empty
My specs are

• Motherboard: msi b450 pro-a
• CPU: ryzen 2600x
• RAM: 4x4gb corsair lpx at 2133mhz
• PSU: corsair tx550m
• GPU: zotac 1060 6gb
• Operating System: windows 10

Is there anything in the computer management under events listed other than unexpected power shutdown? Have you monitored cpu/gpu temps to see if you are getting a thermal shutdown from either motherboard bios setting, which would be cpu overheating, or a gpu shutdown from card overheating, or a combination of both?

gpu temps will go to about 72 Celsius max, pretty sure cpu temps stay in the 60's. I havnt done too much monitoring so it could be going higher than that but i doubt it (recently ran unigine heaven for about 15 minutes to see if there was overheating) . also if by computer management events you mean other things going wrong my pc will sometimes freeze for about a second during just regular windows tasks or on the desktop but it doesnt seem to happen in game or i havnt noticed it

I would start by uninstalling your gpu files and reinstalling them. What I mean by computer management is, under windows tab there is a line called computer management. If you click on it you will se a box for event viewer. If you look at that it may tell you what is wrong, other than lost power unexpectedly. Are you using any kind of overclocking on your cpu/gpu? Or using power saving settings? What power setting do you have set in windows, balanced, power saver, high performance?

I updated my gpu drivers two nights ago and when i did that i checked the clean install selection hoping that it would help, im assuming that would accomplish the same thing as running something like DDU and uninstalling and just reinstalling them. in the event viewer it says one critical event in the past 24 hours and 11 in the past 7 days with the source saying kernel-power

, no overclocking on anything including memory, i use high performance in windows and prefer maximum performance in nvidia control panel as well. It does seem though that updating my gpu drivers with a clean installation fixed it, but i did turn up the rpm on my case and cpu cooler so that couldve also helped if it somehow was overheating and i didnt notice

Ok good, glad that helped. Just know that when you did a clean install of your drivers it reset all your control panel settings. So you may want to go in and change the settings to your liking.
