[SOLVED] Squad and certain other games crash my desktop fully

[Dylan Brown]

Hello everyone!

For some reason I can't run certain games like Squad for too long, or they completely crash my computer after 20 mins to an hour.

I've tried Fur|Mark at its max settings, which crashed my computer after around 5 - 10 minutes.

Any advice?

My specs:

Mobo: b450m
CPU: ryzen 1200
GPU: rx 570 8gb
PSU: 550 wats
Ram: 2x8gb sticks

It sounds like your GPU is getting too hot?
What temperature does it get to per Afterburner - at idle and while gaming?
How hot does your CPU get - at idle and in gaming?

How can I check? As I said, if I launch squad it crashes my pc after 20 or so minutes.

Try something other than squad.

Try something other than squad.

As I said, it crashes on FurMark and on rust it will usually last a good hour but, for some reason, it was working perfectly fine the past few days until last night. I didn't change a thing

Try it on just YouTube.

So, I have realized that before I went to France I transported my desktop rather harshly on two car trips. I believe something has been dislodged but I'm not sure what.

How can I go about identifying the specific problem?

Ah.
You need to tear it down and put it back together while double checking every connection.
Look for connectors not fully locked in. Make sure the GPU is fully locked in and all the power cables and monitor cable.
