What computer do you have?  It might not be powerful enough to run at high resolution.  It can also be overheating if it your PC crashes after playing a little.  We need more details.

Cpu: 12400f

Gpu: 6800xt

And the cpu cooler is 240mm aio

The game i was playing: Metro last light redux i was trying to play at 1440p

Oh yeah, your PC is definitely powerful enough to run that game at 1440p.   Does it only happen in Metro Last Light or in other games too?

It was happening in cod ww2 and i tried playing apex and it happend there too.

Use DDU and then reinstall your graphics driver.  Give that a go first.

r Sometimes those silly shut-downs are caused by the computer overheating. Not good when it shuts down while you're winning a game.

When a computer is near or resting on a hot air register, its fans will be sucking in hot air, which totally defeats the cooling system.

If a computer was shutting down on me the first thing I would do would be to place a small house fan beside it, blowing cool air into the vent holes. If that stops its shutting down then I know that the problem is in the cooling.

Check the whole thing inside for dust buildup. I found a huge mouse nest inside a tower that I pulled from the spring cleanup.

If you're running it on a couch or bed there's a chance that the fabric is blocking vent holes. Are the fans working? Is it a tower that's been stuffed into a closed space cubby in a desk? Check the HD for bad sectors. Examine the motherboard for dark spots that might indicate overheating. Some hot power supply diodes can turn a tan beige or pale green circuit board black in spots, which can cause a short cct. If you built it yourself, there could be the possibility of a component incompatibility issue.

Maybe buy one of those cheap electronic laser thermometers, and check the heat on every part of the cct board and inside the power supply. If it's an ove heating transistor you can locate it by spraying a tiny mist of electronic freeze spray on it. if it statrs workin from the spray it means you need to replace that IC chip or transistor, but be careful using freeze spray. Use too much will make water droplets for on components causing shorts. Just spray a tiny quick burst of the freeze spray.

Another diagnosing method is to tap each component with a stick of wood or plastic to determine bad solder joints. A lot of electronic failures are caused by faulty solder joints. When you're touching cct boards be sure you are grounded, so the static in you doesn't fry mosfet transistors. If you built it yourself, that means your hands were all over the cct boards. Your shut-down problem just might be that your paws fried a mosfet. I think I just nailed it.

Ok there is a lot information here. the computer is fairly new i built it a few days ago so i dont think that dust could be a problem, its sitting on the floor so this isnt an issue too.

What if my components are okay? Is there anything else? 

[Dragontickler]

Ok..  Mosfets are switches, and the thing is switching off, which probably means that static from you damaged a mosfet.

Were you're feet on carpet while you touched things in it?

Were you wearing a sweater?

Were you wearing anything staticish crackly?

 

I had a little mosfet accident with an mp3 player. I was listening to music when I pulled my sweater off. A tiny static snap on the earbuds wire killed that expensive player in a flash. I suppose the static spark destroyed a mosfet component.

 

Seems you need to surf the net on all those cct boards to determine where the mosfets are, then learn how to use a gentle meter to test them. If that's not an option, then maybe take the thing to a high school computer class, and hope they can find the fault(s). They are a lot cheaper than repair shops, and the instructors oversee the work, but it takes weeks to months, and there's no guarantees nor warranties. So... the last option is to  try all the components in another computer to try to determine which board is the bugger. Is there a 'computer library' in town where they collect and recycle scrap electronics, and donate and sell to the public? We had one in this town for about ten years, and the guy running it was a super genius computer guy. I found a camera in the junk, and a $90 memory chip in it. I showed the computer guy the chip. He told me those are worth a hundred bucks retail. I set it on the counter saying You can have it, and walked out. Next thing I knew he was giving me all kinds of electronics for free. Barter based on love and kindness and generosity really works. Money keeps on taking. Barter keeps on giving. 

 

Now it gets complicated..

Yeah i was standing on a carpet  There are no such librarys, in computer classes the teachers dont really know about it, dont have another computer to test the components. I have a friend who knows about computers has built many of them i will try calling him maybe he knows something (he helped me build it)

More thoughts on it.

 

Net surf all those component boards for what are their most common shut-down problem spots.

 

Where did you purchase those components?  Maybe you got sold a faulty one?  If you bought them online, check out the track records of those you bought them from. I hope you kept a list of the sellers. Maybe you got scammed and cheated by a criminal charlatan who sells faulty crap? I would almost bet money on that. Read his customers complaints.I don't buy that kind of stuff off the internet because I don't know them, and I don't know what I would be getting..

 

Were the components in quality electronics antistatic bags when you received them, or were they just in regular baggies and/or in bubble-wrap?

 

I wonder if delivery services are staticy? their storage facilities?  their vehicles?  the postal system?  the handlers?

 

Me thinks I've run out of ideas.

I just saw new drivers and donwloaded them. I bought all of the components from trusted sources everything has warranty, everything came in original boxes.

I ran a few benchmarks before reinstalling windows and it froze on all of them now that i reinstalled windows i tried those benchmarks and it didnt freeze!!! Tommorow i will try it on games to see if it changed. Maybe you know some other benchmarks i could test?

[Dragontickler]

  I tried to post this in the general forum, and link it, but it bounced back into this thread. I hope it doesn't upset nor offend anyone.

  Obviously you did that right by buying new. but sometimes new stuff is faulty from the start, especially with wave solderers. which brings up another idea. This is a bunch of trivia you and everyone should be aware of in trouble-shooting electronics.I'll just roll with it and have some fun with it..

   I have met several backyard electronics repair guys who make it a habit of re-soldering everything on a circuit board of a piece of electronics that isn't working that they can't diagnose. 80% of the time that fixes the problem. BUT! you need to know how to solder without using too much heat. When you're soldering electronics you absolutely Must use only just enough heat to get the solder joint made right, or you will fry and destroy heat sensitive things faster than you can call for your mummy. Everything about soldering Must be clean. Always be wiping the tip on a wet sponge. Never use a soldering gun on electronics. It must be a low heat electronics soldering iron. a good one. not one of those cheap black crap ones from the hardware and department stores. Blue Weller's are nice, especially the ones with thermostats in the tips.

   It still really sounds like your computer glitch is a component heat problem, even if your benchmarks seem to do something for a while, or it might just be a bad solder joint in your machine, and it's good that it's off/on intermittent because that helps you track it down easily. Seems you need to go to an electronics shop to buy a can of freeze spray. Next time the machine shuts off, lightly spray things with the freeze spray till it starts working again. Don't spray so much that it creates frost on the components and wires. If it starts working, that's where a problem is. Now you need to desolder the culprit, and replace it.. They are cheap at the electronics stores. You'll need a solder-sucker and fine solder wick to get it off the board. Be extremely careful to not overheat nor peal the board's foil. Don't pry nor yank on the component. It should wiggle and slip out easily once desoldered.

 I got a job just by using three squirts of freeze spray. I needed a car, so I needed employment. I walked into a video-games coin-machine shop that had video games, pinball machines, and coin machines all over the city in bars, lounges, schools, stores, hospitals, and such. I asked to speak to the manager. He told me if I could get their antique baseball video game video game I'd be hired. I asked their electronics tech for the freeze spray. I got into the back of the machine at the huge circuit board, all the five managers were standing in front of the machine waiting for the big miracle. The third IC-chip I freeze-sprayed the machine suddenly went on. They all jumped back in shock. I got the job that minute. One of them said "You're Hired!". Two weeks later I had my car. Zip Zop Zoom Vroom Vroom Weeeeeeeeeeee, gagagoogoo carcar.

 That freeze spray stuff is Amazing. Do not spray it near flame. Freon and flame supposedly makes an extremely deadly poison. Supposedly one big breath of it, you're probably dead or very sick.

 I heard that it's what kills a lot people in building and vehicle fires. It's silly to spray it on your fingers cuz it can cause instant frostbite. Frostbite never goes away. My ears sure know that.

 I used to work in an electronics warehouse that supplied a large chain of retail outlets with all kinds of household electronics.  Back then in the dark ages we didn't have computers. We had radios, tv's, comic-books, church, and etch-a-sketches, fishing, camping, and go visit gramma..
 Every stereos shipment our warehouse received from a certain shaudy overseas electronics manufacturer, our company piled it all up in the repair shop for us to unpack and test them all before they went to the stores, because so much of that foreign manufacturing company's products were already faulty new in the box. A lot of it was from faulty dirty wave-soldering improperly preped. Contaminated dirty wave soldering is crap, a crime, but everything electronics these days is done by wave-soldering. Crappy wave-soldering is why so much electronics fails so fast. Maybe the cure to your problem is to re-solder the boards by hand where soldering looks bad? If your benchmark tries fail, then check all the soldering with a bright ligh and strong magnifying glass. You might find a wiggly solder joint, or one that is a hollow bubble, or a spot where the wave soldering didn't stick because of dirt?

 Last solution is pray. Do you happen to know some powerful religious prayers? Maybe beating your back with a nice nail-board while chanting religiously might do for something when all else fails?   <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4q6eaLn2mY>

 I'm just 'grabbing at straws' for all of this to try to help you defeat this problem, by pulling up old memories of my fun electronics-tech days. I'm one of those who remembers every second of his life, right back to one day old. I even remember the room's lighting, temperatures, breezes, sounds, things that were said, peoples emotions and intentions, the smells, the faces.

 What's the average temperature of the CPU? Is it too hot to touch? Does it get hot very fast? Is the CPU properly set to the heat-sink with proper silicon heat-sink grease? Sniff around the motherboard. Do you smell strong heat anywhere on it? I don't know anything about repairing computers, I'm just guessing, but I was real good at trouble-shooting and fixing stereos, tv's, and such.  I had this weird trick with my spirit and mind for trouble-shooting.  I would close my eyes, and visualize the thing in my mind-screen. I would pretend splashing a pretend gallon of red paint on thing in the (forced dream), demanding the pretend paint stick to the real problem spot. It actually worked many times. I don't know why it worked, it just did.

 If you want this red paint skill (trick) you need to teach yourself some new stuff. Close your eyes. You'll be seeing a Rembrandt brown splash like a brown curtain. Now with your eyes closed, look back at you a 180 from that brown splash, searching for a tiny 1/32 inch glowy little ball, like a tiny wee moon somewhere inside you. That's your alien nephilim spirit. Treat it with 100% love honour dignity and respect. It's DAMN Powerful. Tell it to help you see and be into that brown curtain 5% to 10%. 20% the next week, and so on. With that lesson in place, now close your eyes, and imagine you are seeing the computer in your mind screen like you are gazing at a blank wall or screen. In the dream, quickly have a can of pretend paint, and pretend splash it on the image of the machine, demanding the paint stick to the trouble spot. If it works for you, it could save you hours of trouble-shooting, and eliminate lots of grief and expense, and cut your gaming downtime. Nothing worse for a gamer than a dead gaming computer.

 Maybe this spirit thing could be written up as an exciting game. Call it Red Paint Splash, or 'Strawberry Heaven', or 'Rembrandt's Dream', or Tesla's Revenge', or Leap Through The Fire, or 'Ghost Binge'. Maybe one day I could write it up as a series of top-end exciting games, when I get things all set up to write games?

  If you're brave and fearless, and you want to be part of the Real game, you can push your spirit through that silly brown curtain, like leaping through a wall of cold fire. Then you'll be seeing into the spirit realms. Nothing there to be afraid of. If you see beings that have skin tone, they are friendlies. It's ok to touch, hug, and kiss them, but be slow and honourable about it. They are very shy. Show them your puire innocent child love only. Beware of the ones that have black mildewy splotches on their skin, with bits of their bones exposed, and long jaws full of pointy teeth. They are wendego-zombies. They are a tiny bit dangerous, like five foot mosquitoes. If one of them touches me, I rip its head off in a flash. This could be a super action game, and maybe even a series of epic movies. It would be a good game because most good games are based upon extreme violence, and ripping demons heads off sure is an extreme violence theme.
 The spirit realms are many layers, full of different species of creatures in each layer. Good games have layers. There are many types of wendegos and monsters in those realms, and they're all hungry for love. I make friends with most of them, except not with the wendego's. All the wendego's want to do is eat the living every which way. I tickle all the other monsters tummies ever so softly. I touch them oh so so gently, and kiss them on the lips. and sometimes I feed them some of my yummy blood dribbled into their waiting open paws as candy, then I Own them then. I cut open my wrist, and dribble little puddles of yummy blood into their waiting cupped paws. The large fierce ones make good pets. They see me as 'daddy'. I showed the grumpy offensive karen-class new neighbour my sweetheart 20-foot bodied black widow spider pet. She moved away two weeks later. Too much reality for her I wager. I bet she made a big messy in her panties when she saw me laying on its back, grinning, 20-feet up in my back yard, casually stroking the hairs on its head. When you softly stroke the tips of the hairs on an animal's head it makes it dream and feel loved. Missy Spidy loves her head hairs tickled. Her fangs are the size of elephant tusks. When she moves she's like riding in an eight-wheeled limo, so Smoooooth.. When I first met her I remained quiet, numb, fearless, and curious. My hobby is making friends with monsters. I panned down her long leg to her foot, and wondered what the bottom of her foot looked like. She raised that foot, and twisted it up to show me the underside of her foot. I've loved her ever since, and she knows it. She's a Princess. She might be some sort of alien. I don't know for sure.

 What's your favourite game? How many screens are you running? For this new spirit-world game to work right, I think it might need need at least four screens, and maybe even a fifth one overhead, and a sixth under your feet, maybe even a hologram teevee, but I haven't built it yet. I just don't have the time nor the facility to build it in.
 I'd call it 'Immersion Reality Gaming'. but there is a danger-risk-factor in it, in that it would probably attract the real ones into your room while you're playing the games, and they are extremely difficult to get rid of once in our dimensions, they are clingy parasitic pests. They'll cause you wicked nightmares and loud snoring, and wake you up when they're feeding upon you, and they growl and make swirly dusty wind right in your face when you're trying to get to sleep, leaving you no option but to exterminate them like you do to pesty blood-sucking mosquitoes, but you probably don't have what it takes to exterminate the bad ones.  Who you gonna call?
