PC freezing randomly mid game.

[JimTheGentlemanGR]

The issue is that after a certain period of time(aprx 10 to 30mins) playing a game at any resolution from 720 to 4K (4K on vanilla minecraft and TABS) the pc seems to freeze and not respond to any key input, even the Razer keyboard seems to freeze. On some other games if the graphics are really heavy (making the game go to ~40fps) it will freeze the pc.

Then I have to close my pc from the restart button on the case so it can restart, yet this will always happen when I play any video game.

 

Most games at 1080p High run at above 50fps, Fallout 4 and Arma 3 might need to be on medium so they can run better.

 

However when I haven't opened any game at all the pc can work just fine without freezing.

 

My theory is that the PSU is not giving enough electricity to the components but I need a professional's opinion on this.

 

My build:

- Proc.: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G

- GPU: Radeon RX 580 Series 8GB VRAM

- M.B.: MSI Motherboard X570-A PRO(X570/AM4/DDR4)

-Corsair SSD Force MP300 NVMe 240GB

-Corsair PSU CXM series 650 W 80+ Bronze

-Corsair Desktop RAM Vengeance LPX 16GB Kit 3000MHz DDR4

-Apple 2TB HDD (Used for storage)

-WD My Book 1230 USB Device 2TB (Used for storage)

 

Operating System is on the NVMe, no overclocking.

 

Drivers:

For GPU: 23.20.832.0

For CPU: 10.0.18362.387

A-XMP is off

Have you got a different PSU to test it with. Maybe test with a PSU from a different PC

@Faisal A yes 2 infact but they are both lower than my current PSU

@JimTheGentlemanGR Try it anyways. You might have a faulty PSU.

@Faisal A the pc tho wouldn't open if a 350 W PSU got installed

Try taking your GPU out. Test with old and new PSU
