I've got a dual tower Noctua CPU Cooler, it SHOULD be really low. I ran a stress test using Furmark, Prime95 and HWiNFO and the max CPU temp was 78 under full load. The interesting thing is, I ran the test for about 15 minutes full load everything and I couldn't get the system to crash.

Hello all, recently my Corsair H100i AIO CPU cooler failed on me, and I went ahead and replaced it with a Noctua NH-D15 black cooler. All of sudden, my computer will freeze every few hours. The system locks completely up, the screen freezes and my keyboard and mouse lights turn off. I can't seem to find the issue here, my CPU temps are stellar ~30 degrees Celsius under load and it performs perfectly up until the actual crash. Any suggestions? I've had a problem like this before, interestingly enough the LAST time my CPU cooler failed. You can find this thread here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/898043-solved-computer-crashes-screen-freezes-peripherals-lose-power/ I have uninstalled all of my Corsair software and that hasn't seemed to make a difference.

Help! This is the second time I've encountered this issue, but can't seem to revolve it this time. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/fjcizs/gaming_computer_freezes_peripherals_lose_power/

No crashes since deleting Corsair LINK 4. If you have it get rid of that POS program

I've played 3 games of Fortnite so far with no issues... Hope that did it.

Fortnite is NOT installed on my SSD though, it was installed on my SATA ssd. EventViewer is showing both NZXT CAM and Corsair LINK 4 crashing just as my system crashes... Corsair LINK always crashes before CAM, so I'm going to plug in my hard drives again, and I have removed Corsair LINK and hopefully, that was the problem...

I'll try reseating the SSD, I highly doubt it's any of the other drives though, I have other things installed on them and they all run perfectly, no lossage, relatively quick response times from all of them, no apparent signs of failure. It just happened again while playing Fortnite, GPU was at 100% load 70 degrees. I unplugged all my other hard drives and I'll try again.

I haven't, but previously I had Windows and LoL both installed on the SATA based 120GB drive I have in there as well, with no issues whatsoever.

My system has always been running on High-Performance power. It's the first thing I changed after I installed drivers after I did a clean Windows install.

I've had no problem with my system up until recently. My CPU cooler failed, and I had that replaced. I also picked up a new Samsung 960 PRO M.2 SSD. My problem is that my computer will randomly freeze, seemingly only while playing League of Legends. When the computer freezes, the screen will stay on, and my peripherals will lose power. It's an entire system crash because everything becomes unresponsive, any music I was listening to will stop, and the only way to fix it is a force reboot. From what I can tell, even with a cheaper CPU cooler, my CPU temps are sitting at about 50-60 degrees Celcius while under load. I suspected it might be an issue with the SSD because I cloned it from another drive, so I ran a clean windows install last night and I just had another crash today. It happens about once every 4-5 hours or so. I wonder if my PSU might be failing, but it should have PLENTY of power for my system. League of Legends is installed on my Samsung SSD. As far as I can tell, it's the only game I experience crashes with (I can't remember but it may have happened with Fortnite as well). I can leave the system on overnight running tasks such as Minecraft console clients, or other misc. scripts. From time to time it will crash while doing things like Chrome browsing, but it's much more often while playing League. NZXT CAM Records my stats while playing League, it reports an average CPU temp of 56 degrees Celcius, and an average GPU temp or 65 degrees Celcius at 100 FPS, all settings maxed. Max CPU temp was 63 degrees, max GPU temp was 70 degrees. Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated?

Would be ecstatic to win either! I love both the New Razer Blade, and the Blade Stealth! I've been using Razer gear since my entry to the gaming world, and with my upcoming college experience I'll need a new daily driver for work and play! LinusTechTips is an amazing channel, I've spent hours just clicking that next button watching Linus do crazy and interesting things. It's almost like Reality TV sometimes. If I had to choose a favorite I would definitely pick the episode where Linus' grandfather meets Google.
