Computer Crash new build

[fadedheart]

I built this computer today and i was playing anthem for a couple hours with no issue. All of a sudden it restarted on me. Now every time i launch anthem it starts to load the game and then restart again. It also did it with apex legends. Playing wow i had no issues on max settings. My CPU temps are staying around 40-50s and my gpu temp goes up to about 60 without the fans running. I did notice a critical error 41 which only indicates that the computer was shut down inappropriately. I'm curious if this is a power supply issue and my 500w is not enough or if it is faulty. I'm also curious if the GPU is possibly faulty. The only part i didn't buy brand new was the GPU which was a used- like new part off of amazon. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

pop one ram stick out and try it again first

I don't think the 1060 would kill that power supply within a few hours but it's a possibility if the ram does nothing

I'll give it a try. What would popping one ram stick out do?  is it to drop the watt requirement?  or is it to test if the ram is faulty?

Running the machine with only a single stick (and trying each stick alone) is a very easy way to check if the problem is at all ram related. It's also a 100% free thing to try.

Whenever I see people having bluescreens or hard shutdowns they tend to be fixed by removing one stick of ram. Typically bad ram sticks can still pass a memtest. It can also show that the memory works fine if all sticks work by themselves and that the motherboard itself has an issue using more than one stick

Anthem has a large number of known faults with it at the moment. It's even causing consoles to lock up, reboot, and in some cases even brick the console.

Also an issue with Apex Legends where you will experience a crash to desktop for no apparent reason. Apparently the latest Nvidia drivers fix this issue.
 

Try using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove your graphics drivers and then install the latest version from the Nvidia website.

Tests if the ram stick is faulty.
Wattage isn't an issue. 500W is more than enough for that system. Probably double what your system is actually consuming.

I appreciate the feedback. Ill give it a shot tomorrow and reply with the results.

So, i removed one ram stick and i was able to play anthem for the past 2 to 3 hours.  Everything seems to be running great on the 8 gigs.
