I recently build a new pc and have some issues with it.

I have been playing some less demanding games like C&C remaster, Battlfield2 (yes really) and League of Legends.

I wanted to test my rig with a more demanding game but didn't want to buy any so i started playing Apex Legends. The first couple of days have been fine but then it started crashing.

Not just a CTD or BSOD, my screen goes black the sound follows like 0,5 sec later and then it doesn't do anything. My fans run, the RGB keeps going. The led on my MB seem to suggest its rebooting but it is not. They go on again and nothing happens. Pressing power doesn't shut it down, I have to force it by holding power.

To me this doesn't feel like PSU issue, then the pc would just reset in my experience. I thought it would be GPU related but I have stress tested that with FurMark and also used some benchmarks and got decent to actually pretty good scores.

I have also stress tested the CPU with Prime95 to see if that would be the issue. It ran fine and my CPU didn't even hit 70 C (stock cooler FTW)

 

Could this be an issue with my Disk? I did move my steam folder to a HDD instead of my boot SSD. It is a new disk, although that can still be the problem.

I also tried another game from steam called Conqueror's Blade and at first I was happy, it ran so I figured it would be some shitty code in Apex Legends or some handshake issue with my specs or something.

Now however this game also crashed the next day I tried it, being pissed and stressed I haven't run both of them anymore.

 

The odd thing what made me think it was the game cause it always crashed at the start of a round, if I got in a round I could play till the end and pray next round would be fine.

But then the other game crashed during a round so..... I am a bit clueless now.

 

Specs:

ASUS TUF-B550 motherboard

Ryzen 7, 3700x

Asus Dual series Radeon RX 580 OC

32GB rams (yes I know, overkill but I dont just game and I run a lot at the same time, also my last had 16GB it needed to be an upgrade)

 

Its running Windows 10 64bit. 

I had updated my BIOS drivers but since the problem I saw an update for my GPU which I installed.
