[SOLVED] PC crashes mostly when playing games

[thanosmel]

Mostly when i play video games my pc crashes and no signal is displayed on my monitor, sound stops and the lights from my peripherals also close. Weird part is that the computer is still working, all fans are spinning and i don't hear any weird noice + the temps are good as far as i can tell. When this crash happen i cannot close the pc from power button(even if i press the power button for some seconds). So i close the pc from the psu on/off switch. I have an 1 year old rmx650x and a gtx 960. I have tried :

• playing with rams position,
• reseting the bios by removing battery for a few minutes
• cleaned the dust,
• removed drivers reinstall them by using ddu
• switch pci slot

Nothing worked so far and the pc still crashes. The problem occurred a day after i tried to overclok my gpu with msi aferburner. But i have deleted msi afterburner and all the profiles. Any ideas this problem is driving me crazy?

Specs :
AMD FX-9370
Windwos 10 OS
GTX 960
Samsung ssd
toshiba hdd
gigabyte 970a-ud3p mobo

Deleting MSI afterburner does not undo the overclocking settings. Try re-downloading it and resetting the settings.

It sounds like the GTX 960 might have taken some damage from the overclock or the overclock settings might still be in the system.

If downloading Afterburner and resetting to stock settings doesn't work you could try flashing the BIOS on the video card. If that doesn't work you might have killed it.

and check your in-game temperatures for everything too. Doesn't MSI Afterburner do that too? I would make sure temps are all good and rule that out at least to start

so, undo all overclock, then test games and check in-game temps. If they get high for CPU and GPU, that can cause shutdown.

FX-9370 has a 220 watt TDP (Thermal Design Power) and is not supported by your motherboard.

The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the average maximum power a processor can dissipate while running commercially available software. TDP is primarily used as a guideline for manufacturers of thermal solutions (heatsinks/fans, etc) which tells them how much heat their solution should dissipate.
