Hi All,
In need of some urgent help with my custom built PC, i will try and lost a few of my specs below if it’s needed.
I built my PC about 5 years ago and it has been completely fine up until about 3 months ago, whilst playing games(mostly CoD warzone and World of warcraft) the game would drop frames for 5/10 seconds and then would go to what looked like a glitched version of the blue screen saying (there was a problem) and then switched off, so i just thought it was a random crash. Turned my PC back on and got to the desktop where my PC would be fine for 5 minutes then do the crash again, sometimes i wouldn’t even be in game. Obviously the computer was then unusable, i tried re-installing windows and graphics card drivers with no luck, sometimes computer would stay on for 30 minutes and sometimes only 2 minutes before crashing.
After some investigating i could see that my memory usage was sometimes reaching over 90%, so i bit the bullet and ordered a set of 2x 16gb RAM sticks and a new CPU(as they were both 5 years old) and to my knowledge this fixed the issue, as my memory usage was now in the 20-50% range depending on what i was doing and more importantly the crashing had stopped… or so i thought.
As of yesterday my PC begun crashing exactly the same as before, however it seems a lot worse, to the point i will be on the desktop for maximum of 5 minutes before it crashes, it then tried to automatically diagnose the issue and tells me to re-install windows which like i said before never helped.
I have changed the CPU and RAM out and im just wondering has anyone else has this kind of issue before as i’ve searched and searched and have had no luck, i’m no computer wizz i just know the basics which is probably why im struggling. HELP. Thanks
