Hi,

I've just purchased the OCUK Citizen PC with an added SSD and upgraded to 16gb of RAM.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-8gb-graphics-three-free-games-fs-1aq-og.html

I've installed windows and and a few games, BF1, PUBG. Unfortunately after playing a minute or so the screen goes Black and I have to hit the reset button on the tower, peripherals also no longer work.

I've installed MSI Afterburner and downloaded the Heaven Benchmark and GPU temps reach around 67c.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I've already reinstalled the GPU drivers.

Thanks
 
Just checked the event viewer, there's a critical error every time it crashes. Event ID 41. Source Kernel-Power.
 
So just after the critical error (within 5 seconds), there's

Error Audit events have been dropped by the transport.

Error The AMDRyzenMasterDriver service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.

Before the Critical event.

There's

Hope this helps as it means nothing to me.
 
On the uniengine test it also crashes but that is using the gpu.

My thoughts is also the PSU. I've used the recommend PSU on the coolermaster website and they recommend a 750w. The rx590 is more demanding than the 580.
 
So they replaced the GPU, ram and PSU however it is still crashing. Less error messages however, are there any specific tests I can do for the psu?
