Sooooooo.....
I had a totally stable PC running windows 10, but I thought the time was right to upgrade to windows 11.
After upgradinng, my PC started crashing whilst gaming, which it never did before.
I have downloaded the latest bios, drivers, etc, but still crashes.
Did a full clean install of windows 11, still crashes.
Did a full clean install of windows 10, still crashes.
Disconnected a spare HDD, still crashes.
Took out 1 stick of RAM and tested, crashed. Tested other stick, crashed.
Changed the SSD, still crashed.

Here is the spec of the PC -
Mobo - MSI Tomahawk x570
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600X 4.6Ghz
RAM - 2x16GB Corsair Vengence LPX DDR4 3600C18
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 10GB AORUS XTREME V2
SSD - WD 1TB SN750 M.2 2280
HDD - WD 2TB Black
PSU - Corsair RMx750

It seems to always crash after about 20-30 minutes of playing Fornite (normally when I am in the last 5!!).

I am at the point of having to start buying new PSU's, CPU's or motherboards, and I cant afford that right now, so any ideas would be really helpful.

Also, any ideas on what to use to stress individual parts would be good, so I could stress the CPU, try the memory again, etc, might help narrow this down.

Cheers for your help.

If it just says the last system shutdown was unexpected, or it has booted after a bad shutdown, those two are normal for any crash.
There should be one with source of whea logger or whea crash reporter or whatever its called, it will normally show up above(more recently) in the log than those other kernal ones, after it's back on.

Can also check you haven't got instant auto restart on crash enabled via click on my computer, properties, advanced... Somewhere I've forgotten the name of

Did you upgrade/change bios or any cpu stuff like PBO or curve optimizer before the crashing started happening?
Hi. Thanks for your time.
All I did was upgrade to windows 11 :(
 
Ok. I’m gonna run the gpu and cpu stress test for 30mins. If all is fine, I’ll start checking the voltages.
The PSU has a 10 year warranty, so I could send that back to OCUK to check I guess.
Everything is run stock in the bios, no overclocking or undervolting, as far as I know!
