So I built a new computer downloaded some games like battlegrounds h1z1, when I play the games I can play for about 30-45 minutes and then my Pc reboots, monitor goes unresponsive and my fans go turbo. Sometimes I can play for longer periods of times but when I ult + tab or close the game my Pc reboots and fans go turbo. Please help.

BTW all Temps stay between 30-50 degrees Celsius

Pc specs -
cpu - ryzen 5 1500x
Gpu- zotac gtx 1060 6gb mini
ram - team elite plus 8gb ddr4 2400mhz
MOBO - asrock ab350m pro (UEFI IS AT UPDATE 3.00)
Hardrive - WD blue 1tb
Psu - 500w evga

 
Solution
Yup but if your last install didn't have the boot device set to AHCI do so. AHCI is a better performance setting for the boot drive. See the boot option 2 in the image.

You should check bios temps as HWinfo doesnt show correctly. What does HWmonitor say? If its correct then touch the sink for the VRM's as 99c is way to high. If the sink is very hot then you may need to RMA the motherboard. Below is an example picture with the VRM's outlined in red.

I just touched it its warm but not 100 degrees and hwinfo shows the vrms at 96 degrees locked from the time I start my pc to whenever.
 


Yes unfortunatly, I am going to get a flash drive tomorrow and update the bios to 3.00
 


Ok so I updated bios to 3.00 and the problem has changed my computer still crashes but this time my audio and speakers still work and i can speak with my friends, fans still go turbo and this time the game h1z1 gave me an error code. screen still goes unresponsive.

what do you mean by run lower
 


tried different sata cables and slots no change.

 


how exactly do i reinstall should i download the tool and click repair windows or download the 1indows 10 iso on a usb and delete my current windows? how exactly would i do all this?
 


I do not have a windows activitaion key im using the trial for now so I kind of confused on how I should reinstall. Should I go in bios and do the same thing I did and change my operating system to the new iso i downloaded?
 
O well just reinstall and dont activate for the trail. That should get you the newest version installed. In bios make sure the boot drive is set to AHCI. Then restart to install at boot use the function key to bring up boot menu. Select the USB and just follow windows install instructions.
 


so its the same process i do not need to delete anything before going straight to bios and useing the boot menu to redownload windows.
 


as in you need to run it with a computer with full licenced windows 10?

and will all my drivers be deleted?
