Hi i am pc noob trying to troubleshoot gaming pc so any info will help.
PC crashes when gaming but works fine when browsing web, streaming movies and everything else.
When i first start playing each day it will play for maybe hour then crash. Black screen and fans maxed out. pc stays on and i can still hear the game like normal. I have to hold down power button to restart.
After the hour when i first get on and it crashes that 1st time it will consistently crash within 5 minutes after restarting pc and playing game.
Seems like over heating since it takes awhile to crash then keeps crashing but the temps are fine as far as i know. Unless the max temp cutoff is set really low on CPU or GPU? MSI afterburner says max temp is 84 for GPU. Had the rig 2 years no problems till this started slowly about month ago.
I check temps during game with hwmonitor and CPU is 50 degrees and GPU is 65 degrees
i uninstalled and reinstalled windows and nvidea and updated all drivers so don't think it software because its not crashing at start or randomly. Only after i have been playing for like hour then keeps going black screen and maxing fans.
I upgraded PSU from 650 to 750 and still crashing same exact way. so just trying to troubleshoot but like i said i am pc noob.
I guess i just have to replace 1 component at time but don't really know where to go because the temps are fine as far as i can tell on CPU and GPU.
I ran CINEBENCH 30 minute stability test on CPU 100% maxed to try to make it crash like it does during games but it completed test without crashing. Guessing since it didn't crash i can rule out CPU? The game only runs 40% CPU. I'll post the results below:
Mainboard Max temp: 32
CPU Max temp: 91
CPU MAX package temp: 94
CPU Max core temp: 94
CPU Max voltage: 1.241
CPU Core Clocks: 4800MHz
SSD Max temp: 33
Graphics card had 3 different temp listings: GPU: 51 Memory: 61 Hotspot:63 (sidenote: GPU hotspot does get to 80 degrees when it starts crashing but the GPU temp stays in between 60-65 on both Hwmonitor and afterburner.
System: 8core i7 9700k 3.6GHz No Overclock RTX 2080 super
CINEBENCH score: 8626
I don't know anything about numbers or temps just posted the results to try to help but any info would be appreciated.
Like i said i'm pc noob but common sense tells me since it made it through the 30 minute test maxed out at 100% that it is probably not the CPU. It does have new thermal paste too. Just don't know where to look next. PC also crashes on other games.
Is there way to stress test graphics card?
