Question PC stops working when idling for around 10 minutes ?

[Minidom3]

I can play games and use my newly built PC but when idling it freezes. Everything disconnects peripherals and i can't turn it off. Only thing I can do is to turn it off with the PSU switch. Pls help.

Are you sure it isn't going into hibernation mode? Have you checked your power option settings (Control Panel/Power Options)?

I'm going to check.

Through some testing I found out that if I have only 1 stick of RAM installed, the problem doesn't occur. But when I install the second stick it does.
The RAM arrived as 2 x 16GB sticks so they are the same.

THe problem was the PSU. Solved it by changing idle power mode in BIOS set it to a higher value.
