Question Random Shutdowns while gaming

[PatlamisMisir]

Hello, my rig started to randomly go completely black screen and it stucks on black screen till i reboot myself. It started 2 months ago out of sudden it only happens while gaming never happened while idle. It happens roughly every 5-6 hours and i cant figure out why. if anyone can help i would really appreciate

The thing i tried to solve this issue:
-I updated my AMD drivers
-I updated my GPU drivers (cleaned with DDU and reinstalled)
-I updated my BIOS version
-I tried to undervolt my CPU using bios settings i used 1.2v



My Hardware :
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
Motherboard: MSI A520M PRO
GPU: ASUS GEFORCE TUF RTX 3060 TI 8GB 256bit GDDR6
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 650W V2
Bios version 1.J0

You may be correct, but since this only (apparently) happens while gaming, isn't it possible that something is overheating. Maybe measure the operating temperatures first.

Are you sure?
I don't think so.

Of course I'm not sure. That's why one would perform tests before determining that a part needs to be replaced.

He has a heavy graphics card, my friend, and the 650 bronze, which he has even though it's new, doesn't work.

I think he implied that it had worked with that PSU until a few months ago. How did you determine unequivocally that the PSU is defective? Not being sarcastic. I've been in electronics for about 72 years and I don't think I could absolutely say then any component is bad until I've replaced it and confirmed that it corrected the problem . He could just jump to the conclusion that the PSU is bad and replace it. But if he's wrong, he'll have spent money unnecessarily. If the complainant can borrow one, then I'd say that it would be logical to replace it as a troubleshooting technique to see if it is the source of the problem. If one were working in a shop with the access to parts, then parts replacement might be the quickest way to determine the cause of the problem. Most users don't have that luxury.
