Hello everyone, my PC has recently begun randomly crashing when playing videogames which requires "higher" specs.
For example I have completed Stray and Hogwarts Legacy without any issues, when the games first came out. However last week I wanted to show my friend Hogwarts Legacy, which made my PC freeze (Sound, Video, Keyboard and Mouse as well) so I had to shut it down forcefully.
When I tried turning it back up, it ended up going into BIOS, I was tired so I just shut it down, left it like that and went to bed.
Next morning, I turned back on my PC with no issues, only to find out later on when I was playing the new Avatar game, my pc crashing randomly again and doing the same thing.
The PC hasn't been able to turn on until now, the VGA and the BOOT light was lit up on my MOBO, so I tried removing all Drives except the drive with OS on, didn't work, tried switching the DP cable with an HDMI cable, didn't work. Then I just tried to turn it back on multiple times and it ended up turning on.
PC temps are good when gaming on full load GPU max temp is around 69-70 Celsius, while CPU is at 50-60 Celsius.
EDIT: My PC just randomly crashed again when writing this thread, now it won't turn on once again, BOOT Led and VGA Led is lit up on MOBO. Nothing was running in the background but Firefox which I used to write this thread. I have been continuing on the thread on my MacBook as my PC won't turn on. Sometimes it goes to BIOS sometimes it doesn't now when I try to turn it back on.
Anyone have any ideas as to what could be happening?
My thought was, it might be the PSU as I have tried removing my old SSD with no difference, so it isn't the SSD.
