Hardware Issue/Crash

[Tom Sibley]

Hey guys & girls!

I've got a bit of an odd situation to which I can't find a solution online.
Whilst playing some more heavy GPU/CPU games for example, FH5, Rust, Flight Simulator, I will occasionally get a complete PC crash to the point where I reload my PC and all my drivers for my GPU disappear and I have to reinstall them and go through that process every time.

These are my current PC Specs -

AMD Ryzen 5 2600, RX 5908GB Graphics
Kolink KL-600M 600W 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply 1
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six Core/Twelve Thread 3.9GHz Processor
Radeon RX 590 Red Devil 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
TeamGroup 240GB L5 Lite SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM 256MB Cache HDD
Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel

I've spoken to a couple of PC addict friends and some *facebook experts* but to no avail.

Anyone have the slightest clue to why I am having this issue?

Regards.

Do you get any BSOD as the pc crashes?
You can check the event log if there are any critical events being reported around the time the pc crashes.

A sudden pc crash with no prompt usually is a power supply issue and possibly Windows rolling back to predriver Install point. Test a different PSU if possible.

Keep an eye out on the temps of the cpu and gpu in case they are overheating.
You could also try power limiting the gpu (80%) and underclocking it to check that it's not drawing enough power to crash the PC.

This is what I would look at before investigating any further.

Kolink KL-600M 600W 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply 1 < that is the first thing I would replace.. If the pc just turns off or restarts for no reason it's the psu.. It's a terrible psu that one and you need to look for something better, stay away from psus with £40 prices, they are cheap for a reason.

Thank you both for the replies!

I have ordered a Corsair RM850 to replace my current PSU. Fingers crossed that helps with the issue..

I will update on Friday!
