New Build Freezing when Gaming

Built a PC for my partner recently for light co-op games. Since day one of gaming on it (the only game she plays is Raft) she has been having freezing. Sometimes its 30 minutes of gaming later sometimes 10 minutes later.

I tried running multiple 100% load tests on the Passmark burnintest but did not find any errors.

 

Here is the parts list. All new except the case.

CPU: Ryzen 3200g

MOBO: MSI B450I GAMING PLUS AC Mini ITX

RAM: Patriot Viper RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL17

SSD: Western Digital Blue SN550 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME

PSU: Corsair CXM 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified

CASE: Cougar QBX

 

I'm wondering if the PSU might be kinda poor quality, but the power draw on this system is still nothing compared to the PSU capacity?

the psu is decent for your system. it is not likely the problem. monitor the tempretures of the gpu and cpu while playing.

also run stress test to your:

 

SSD (using crystal disk mark, monitor the temps with hwinfo64, it should be under 50C)

 

CPU (using cinebench r23, use 30minute stress test, monitor the temps with hwinfo64 or Ryzen Master:

 

GPU: (using 3D Firemark Demo on steam, monitor the temps with HWinfo64 or msi afterburner)

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry, should have clarified. When I say freeze, I mean screen is still on, nothing moving on screen, mouse is also not moving, and I cannot return to desktop. When I restart the computer by holding the power button it reboots normally.

 

I ran a few tests, here are the results.

SSD and GPU tests ran fine, issues.

SSD: Crystal disk mark, SSD temp - hit 50 C

GPU: 3D mark, score - 1168, max APU temp - 53.9 avg APU temp 43.0

during the 3D mark test CPU hit a max temp of 76.4 and avg temp of 53.4

 

During cinebench R23 is where the problem is. I've attached images below of a couple of the runs after they froze.

The CPU does get warm during this test.

First test I ran, CPU hit 79.5 C and froze at 78.5 C, with 7 min 10 secs left in the test.

Next day I also ran a test with the side panel off. The CPU hit 81.9 C and froze at 75.8 C with 4 min 47 secs left in the test.

I've read that freezing during cinebench can also be a ram issue so my second test I made sure to watch the ram data and nothing looks off there.
