[SOLVED] Pre built PC eventually crashes

[Jay3D]

Hi all,

Very new to PC building. I purchased this custom built PC from Caseking.de. I had to send the PC back for repairs after 2 weeks because of black/blue screen and random shut downs. Turns out the GPU was faulty. I've since got my PC back but it will still shutdown randomly. This only happens when playing video games so far and even then sometimes I get 3 hours straight without issues and then other times it happens after 30 mins. When working on anything 3D (Maya/Arnold) related it seems to run just fine. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.

Your PSU is of questionable quality and could be contributing to your situation. There are much better options than that one.

What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures, at idle and under load?

The behavior sounds like a PSU (or possibly VRM) issue but can't be sure.
Try running HWiNFO64 (sensors only, logging on) until it shuts down. Boot back up and go through the log file to see if there's any indication of the issue.

I have one: the psu, namely the high transient power spikes caused by the RTX 30 series cards and some psu not being able to respond to said spikes very well.
Can't really find anything on that psu either.

Hey,

Thanks for replying, sorry I should have mentioned temps for both CPU/GPU are both fine, at Idle usually around 50 and then under load going up to 70-75. I've installed the latest GPU drivers and even been in touch with Microsoft about my installation of windows incase I did something wrong, they made some adjustments but otherwise said all was fine.

After getting back in touch with Caseking they did mention that before leaving the shop all of the components were stress tested and all seemed well and that maybe it was a software/driver issue.

Also just to note I do hear an interesting sound when the PC is running, a sort of revving up noise that comes to a halt and then begins again. A friend mentioned it could be my HDD? I use my SSD for windows and my 3D programs and the HDD for everything else including my video games and as It's so far only video games that have caused me issues. Sorry if it's not related but I do get some strange artifacts in COD WarZone (I don't play mane games) such as trouble loading textures as well invisible guns.

You're throwing too many things into the mix for diagnostics. Start with keeping the computer continually on and go from there.😉
The revving could just be hitting the next point in your fan curve.

Hey,

Thanks, yeah that's fair enough when I leave the PC running there's no crashes at all anyway.
