Ever since I have upgraded my GPU to a used rx560 4gb asus rog strix, my PC has been freezing in games after playing for a long time. I have to stop playing for a while for it to not freeze again after playing the game for 5 minutes.
The screen goes black, the audio resumes playing for 0-3 seconds and then turns into a constant static (a loud, glitchy zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sound)
The fans keep spinning. I can do nothing except hold down the power button.
My GPU's bracket came bent, which was not that big of a deal but could be a sign that it was dropped. (gpu seller had 3 of the same gpus and was selling them for 1/3 price off)
I immediately suspected that it was my PSU since it was low quality. I replaced it with a corsair CX450M but the problem persisted.
I noticed my CPU temps were high, i replaced thermal paste, temps went low and yet the problem still persisted.
My GPU temps are fine.
I want to know, is this due to my GPU? What can I do to solve this? What component is causing this issue?
