Built my friend a gaming pc from some
Old parts I had just upgraded from. I7 3770k, mobo, ram, and a 970 I had kept in a box for close to a year. We ordered him a Corsair 650 psu and some Chinese [redacted] case to put it all in.
At my house everything ran fine, was getting great frames in games albeit his system appeared slow and sluggish.
He gets home and is now reporting that whenever he starts a game that within 5 minutes it goes to black screen and he’s forced to reboot. Had him run msi afterburner to check temps on his gpu and he’s only going to 42C while gaming.
Could the ram be going bad? Would that cause a shutdown?
