Hi All,

I have an issue that is noticed 99% of the time when playing games (Fortnite, CSGO, LoL etc). My PC (Windows 10) will randomly freeze and i will have to force restart. I have run hardware tests and software tests but don't seem to be able to put a finger on it. I have tried 5+ forum sites and no one can help me.

You can see here at 4:20 i was forced to force shutdown with only 1 error i can see during the time of the issue which doesn't really mean much

All drivers up to date, RAM tests done, thermal paste changed, dust cleaned out of entire case, Windows 10 resinstalled on new SSD etc.

Well - if you have access to and know how to use an oscilloscope, then you may be able to see signs of a bad PSU. But most people doesn't have that in house.

Yeah correct. I may be best off just buying a brand new one to rule it out and they arent too expensive.

As i stated before, am i okay with buying any relatively good PSU (750W+ of a decent brand)? Will pretty much all PSU's be compatible with all hardware? Theres no specifics to it like other hardware components?

Well - no, that is not a "magical app with solution for all problems". I'm sorry, there are no such app out there.

far cry : Maybe the manufactor of the storage device(s) have a propriate tool for self-test of the devices.
