yeah they could say anything, for budget psu, i recommend change it after one or 2 years warranty expired or max 5 years.

gpu drop out usually (not always) caused by lack power.

[MrFayC]

@SupaKomputa is there some way to test a psu?

[MrFayC]

i did now a aida 64 stress test for over an hour and it did not crash but after 15 min of elite dangerous i get a bsod

Is that the only games that causes it or all games. Could be limited to only that game maybe.

[MrFayC]

@ShebuAli so it happend during

elite dangerous

planet crafter

kubifactorium

the stanley parable ultra deluxe

but it didnt happen during aida 64 stress test and any 3d mark test

[ShebuAli]

@MrFayC I mean does it happen in any other games. Like apart from the games you mentioned are there games that run perfectly without BSOD? 

 

[ShebuAli]

@MrFayC The message at BSOD is also import. do you have a picture of that or remember some key words like memory or driver etc?

[MrFayC]

@ShebuAli i didnt play any other games recently but i just installed warzone and will test that one later. gta V  is probably on a drive somwhere so if i find that i will test that also.

i atached fotos from the last three (i think)

Ok so the important thing to note is the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error code. This usually points to a failing CPU. Is your CPU overclocked? If not then you should get a spare compatible cpu from a friend to rule out the possibility that CPU might have gone bad.

@ShebuAli

so i bought a used i7 7700k and used the intel tuning software for a couple of weeks half a year ago but the overclock wsnt stable so i put it back to clock speed. and before that  had a i5 6600. as soon as i find that i will test it out if it works better. before replacing should i maybe check the bios?

I do not have much experience with BIOS settings, but setting them to default might help too.

@ShebuAli @SupaKomputa

quick update: i bought a new powersupply from seasonic i think they are pretty good. and i put my old i5 6600 in the pc now every thing works as it should. i also found that the gold contacts on my i7 7700k look a bit strange. any idea what those spots could be and how to clean? it.
