Question PC Suddenly Freeze with a black or green screen

[Egonize]

Hey guys, I have a problem where my pc would freeze with a black or green screen

Yesterday i was playing sons of forest for like 3 hours when my pc just freezes with a black screen. after rebooting it, and starting the game, it does the same thing again when i'm still joining a session. I then shut off my pc, waited for a minute or two, played the game for 30 minutes without any issue.

Just today, I played beamng, and after 10 minutes the pc freeze, yet with a green screen this time. I've never had any issue with this game, I've got hundreds hour of gameplay

I've tried chkdsk and it seems like there's no problem there. my temps when gaming is 56c (gpu) and 59-62c (cpu), and I've never done any overclocking

The thing is, I've never had any problem like this before, bought the gpu back in may 2024, and it never crashed, and the last time i update the driver was back in august, and it's been a great 2 months without any issues, it just suddenly appears 12 hours ago

Can you guys help me with this problem? it only happens when I'm playing games, if I'm only browsing or watch youtube, the pc run just fine

My specs:
I5 8600K
Z370 Asrock Extreme4
Gigabyte RX6600 Eagle
Corsair 2666mhz 2x8GB
Seasonic m12ii evo 520w
Patriot Scorch M2 256gb (system)
Team MP33 512gb (storage)

The recommended PSU for your RX6600 is quoted as "500W" and your Seasonic is perilously close to that limit. How old is the PSU?

When gaming, your GPU and CPU will be pulling a lot more power than during web browsing. You could try running Furmark to stress the GPU and Cinebench to stress the system.

Note the short duration spike above 250W at the start of Furmark in the graph below for an RX6600. Your system may be tripping out on large current spikes. I recommend fitting a good (high quality) 650W or 750W PSU.

You should replace that PSU to something that's reliably built. The Seasonic unit was a good unit back in it's day but with concurrent parts, it's something I'd shelve asap. On a side note, how old is the PSU and what did it power prior to the RX6600?

Just an FYI, you're leaving performance on the table with that ram kit on your Z370 chipset. The sweet spot for that platform with a tight latencied, dual channel, DDR4-3200MHz~DDR4-3600MHz ram kit.

I've run timespy, furmark, and heaven back in may when i bought the gpu, and it ran fine then. But i'll try to run it again

The psu is 5 years old, and prior to the RX6600, it was a GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid with 220w tdp on gpu-z when i ran furmark/timespy etc., but the 6600 only draws 100w max, but then again i play on a 60hz tv, so the tdp never reached higher than 70-80w.

Yep, i know, i've oc'd the ram to 3000mhz, but since i nostly only play "light" games like beamng and assetto corsa, so i don't need to upgrade it anytime soon
