[Michi_]

I bought a year and half ago a pc 

(specs

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

MSI Rx 570 8 GB armor

RAM 16GB ADATA

550W Corsair) and recently when I play games it freezes (I play fortnite and war thunder). Bcs I thought it is bcs psu I upgraded from 400W to 550W, it wasn’t. Today while I was playing it freezed, but it doesnt unfreeze, it just stays on the same frame on Wich it crashed, I relised, when it freezes fans on my gpu stop and after a while start running again. I checked the temperature and its range is  About 55°C-65°C(131°F-149°F). It happens mainly on fortnite. Everytime when I reboot it, it happens again in a short period of time. I ran out of ideas,Hope you understand well and thanks for every advice.

An idea anyway:  Conventional wisdom is crashes in the middle of running apps are often memory problems.  Not always but it’s not uncommon.  Maybe check memory sticks?

Do you have an overclock on your processor or ram? Have you updated gpu drivers recently?
 

maybe a clean install of windows would help? I also think reliability manager shows what crashes your computer

It is maybe true I upgraded recently, I bought one ADATA 8GB 2400MHZ and one 3000MHZ, but its the same RAM just diffrent frequency, but it just went fine. Now they run on 2400MHZ, but why it would crash just random and that gpu fans stop running. BTW How would I find out it is RAM?

I was playing with rams a little, but I restored everything to normal, before that freezes. I updated GPU driver the newest AMD Adrenalin 20.4.1.

Run mem test

Good idea.  A note about memtest though: it’s not super reliable.  If it does show a problem there’s a problem in memory, but if it doesn’t show a problem it doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t one.

Ok, but what test should I run? I looked it up and I don't want any virus in my pc. BTW it crashed today again, when I had the game opened for like an hour or so, Idk if it might help figure out what is the problem. 

BTW I'm really glad for the advices.

Memtest is not useless.  Plus it’s free and already on your machine.  Maybe run it repetetively for an hour or so and if it doesn’t find anything pull your memory (being careful not to touch the pins or static short it in some other fashion) and put back just one stick.  If it runs with no problems it’s the other stick.  If there are problems do it with the other stick, if there are still problems it’s not the memory but something else.

So I ran today windows memory test and it did not show any errors in RAM, but still it is crashing, today another one crash after only 2 hours of gaming.
