I have my PC for about 6 months and up to now if not encountered any problems with it. I play games like GTA5, BF1, Rainbow six siege and Wow without any problems. Recently i started playing World War 3 and my PC will reboot after only a couple of minutes playing.

My specs are the following:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
16 gb RAM
550 watt ATX PSU
Radeon RX 580 Series

I already did a memory check with no bad results. While playing World war 3 my highest temperature is 62 degrees (GPU). I have reinstalled my GPU and CPU drivers aswell and if got the latest versions.

What else can cause these reboots?

I just wanted to check compatibility of the RAM to your system.

Did you get a chance to run memtest? Try testing one stick at a time. If the test comes out good then move the same stick to the next slot and test again. Do the test on each module in a different slot and then combine for testing. The testing is time consuming but it helps narrow down the issues.

Going to be gone most of the day.

I just noticed that only a part of my RAM is being used, could this be part of the problem?

Installed memory: 16 GB (7.95 GB usable)

I allready tried replacing the RAM in diffrent slots. Tried slot 1 and 3 and 2 and 4

Run memtest overnight.
Link to memtest: https://www.memtest86.com/

Also, what is memory make/ model. From my understanding Ryzen based systems are picky with memory.
Have you tried one stick at a time in different slots?

Apologies for taking so long to respond. I replaced my PSU. This did the trick for the sudden reboots. As for the memtest; One module is working fine, when i tried the other module the computer will turn on, but nothing more. Seems like the second module is broken. ( i did try different slots)

I guess i just have to buy new memory..

Thanks for all the help!
