Computer Keep Crashing While Playing Different Games

[Brian Lu]

Hi all, 

 

Recently I am experiencing an issue relating to my friend computer and it's driving me crazy for the last couple of weeks. Every time he plays a game, his computer would crash and the computer reboot. When this problem first appears, I thought it was just because of outdated drivers or windows so I went ahead and told him to update them. However, the computer still crashes after I update everything so I did a sfc scannow on cmd and thought this might be the problem. Cmd then told me there are no corrupted files and despite the amount of effort that I put into trying to fix my friend computer, it wouldn't work and the computer always crash.

 

This has been going for a few days now and the crashing also has a pattern. For example, in rainbow six it would crash very quickly, usually after 1-2 rounds and on the other hand, he can play Dota for 5-6 games before experiencing the crash. Also after every crash, his computer boot option went on of wack and he has to manually set it back to his SSD for the computer to boot normally.

 

I'm no computer expert so therefore I'm wishing that you guys give me the help I need. Thank you!!
