Currently, my pc keeps rebooting while playing, even though I havent altered my hardware. All it says is a critical error that caused a reboot due to an error in power supply or hardware. I've already been looking around for some solution, but here's the events up to this point that could have impacted it:
I got a new monitor and tv, which after having installed ended up causing a BSOD for my pc. Got that fixed, the culprit seemed to have been AVG having installed a wrong driver that corrupted the system. I was able to play for a very short time before the BSOD(1-2 games), which has not been enough to establish a pre-existing issue with the power itself or the monitors. The new monitor doesnt have any issues with rendering things in 4k, not even stressing my hardware that much. Other than my graphics card being slightly outdated, it shouldnt be rebooting the pc itself if it was the graphics card failing.
After repairs, I reinstalled all the things I used to have and the game keeps crashing at random moments, but only when I am actually in a match. Sometimes I can play multiple matches before a reboot, sometimes it reboots during the loading screen.
To be certain, I removed quite a lot of unnecessary devices from the powergrid, which seems to have improved the average length that I remain in a match, but it ultimately still reboots.
I changed the energy plan for the pc from high performance to energy saving, and used my old monitor. Normally, this wouldnt have changed the picture, but it went from 1080HD, to barely 480p. Which does allow games to run, albeit relatively laggy on my side.
I have used this PC 5 years, never had any issues like this prior to this moment. I dont have the specs memorized, so I'll post that later when I get home, but I am not convinced the hardware is the issue here as even the repairman stated that the hardware was working fine.
