Hey! Just recently changed the case, cpu-cooler and upgraded the memory from 2x8gb sticks to 2x16gb sticks in my mates pc. The pc was working beforehand but now it crashes whenever running specific games.
It can vary but it can crash in the menu, 2 minutes into a game, 5 minutes into a game or 10 minutes into a game. Only on specific games but it appears though that less demanding games (older games) don't seem to have this issue, although I could be speculating.
He has 3 displays, and it doesn't matter if 1 or all 3 are connected, they will all lose signal, the fans will jump up to full speed, and the sound will be stuck on the last thing you heard. The only way to stop it is to hold the power button down, pressing the reset button does nothing.
His specs are as follows:
Motherboard: Gigabyte b450m-h
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF
Memory: T-Force 2x16GB 3200mhz CL16
GPU: ASUS Radeon RX580 4GB
SSD: Crucial NVME 1TB
PSU: Corsair CX750F 80+ Bronze 750W
At first I thought it was the power supply as he had an old corsair rx550w that must have been 10 years old, so I swapped to a new PSU (the one I listed) but that changed nothing. I've tried putting the old memory back in, still the same, I tried using only 1 stick in both slots and that also didn't work.
The BIOS is at default settings with XMP disabled. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling his drivers using DDU.
His temperatures weren't all that bad I thought, with the GPU reaching 73 degrees max and CPU only reaching 53 degrees max.
The power led at the 8-pin port on the GPU is lit up white which from what ive read is good.
At this point I don't know what to do, thats about the extent of my knowledge on pc's.
I'm not sure if a BIOS update would help? not that I'd know how to do that.
I'm, really trying to avoid a format but it looks like I'm going to have try that regardless.
Any advice you guys could provide would be really appreciated!
