HOW TO FIX A RANDOM PC SHUTDOWN (CRASH)
HTML-код

- What was the problem with my computer ?
I struggled with my computer since the start of 2018 and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. It was constantly shutting down on me in no particular order. Sometimes I could edit for two hours until it crashed and other times it crashed right after I logged into my windows account. So that was been going on for a longer period of time. Neither the support nor other people I have talked to could help me find a solution, so I tried to fix it on my own.
Here is how to fix it:
I started off by checking the temperatures of the CPU and GPU because in most cases a random shutdown is due to overheating. My temperatures were high but not crazy high. I replaced the thermal heat paste on my CPU, just to make sure but I couldn’t notice a difference at all.
I checked on the overclocking in my bios system and changed the overclocking to automatic. It was on a constant power of 2,4Ghz before and now that I changed it to auto, it regulates itself when the CPU becomes too hot. I tried changing the overclocking to a minimum as well (in my case I tried 1,9Ghz) but I still had the random shutdowns. Ever since then, I thought that it couldn’t really be the CPU, so I moved on. I tried to eliminate any errors of the software, so I restored windows and got rid of everything I had on my computer (after a proper backup obviously). The windows restore didn’t help either, so I tried to use an older version of premiere pro but no luck here either. My next hope was to check whether or not the graphics card had an issue. I got the idea because the crash or shutdown always happened when I was editing in premiere pro, probably because it is the main thing I’m using my computer for. Sometimes the computer crashed with very little actions, such as changing the editing window or clicking on audio. Other times it was when rendering heavy 4K 10bit footage. I eventually found out a way to force the crash/shutdown, by turning the GPU acceleration in the main settings on (within premiere pro) and trying to playback heavy effects, such as VR Chroma Leaks, on a clip. This technique almost worked every time and it was from now on, that I could see whether things have changed to the better or worse. Because it has always done that when changing to GPU acceleration, I thought it must have something to do with the graphics card. I switched my graphics card with an even better one of a mate and tried to force the shutdown. Again, the computer crashed even though it took a little bit longer. I thought of two other options which could help me fix the problem, before I would have probably brought the computer to a professional. The first option was to replace the power supply and see whether that makes a difference or not and the second option was to buy a whole new processor. Luckily I started with the power supply because after exchanging that one (more details on how to switch your power supply in the video), the crash did not occur anymore. That was one of the greatest achievements of the start of this year. I am finally able to edit without saving every 5 seconds again!
1. Check temperatures of the CPU (overclocking, heat paste)
2. Check the Software (restore / reinstall)
3. Check the GPU / graphics card
4. Check the power supply
5. Check the main board

Video stars from 0:47 , thank me later 🤜🤛
hahaha yeah dude
One of the best feelings in the world is your PC never crashing after it constantly used to crash
Yeah mate! Definitely is the best feeling 😃😃
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS I recently got Rx 590 Gigabyte 8gb... The latest drivers are installed...My Processor Ryzen 5 2400g... PSU 650W Circle... RAM 24gb.. with two fans 1) Processor and back fan... My GPU temperature hits 80C... just by playing GTA 5 for 10 mins.. what could be the reason? How do I fix this? and idle GPU temperature is 35C...
Could you please help!
Jus feeling like a god
@@tanmayfadnis5440 80°C is absolutely no problem.
Mine crashes every 2-3 days
Exactly same issue as mine. Thanks for the great video. Finally now I know what the issue is... ❤️
Damn for the video almost 4 year old quality is very good and content first time i am visiting this channel and it's gold.
Damn dude, I know how you feel before and after knowing t6he prob.
Thanks a billion.
Struggle of my life haha, always trying to fix things i stuff up 😄
no worries mate!
Same problem....same diagnosis and trouble shooting. Just popped a new power supply in and so far good to go man...
3 years later and still helping
me too
thanks I just fixed my random shutdowns after watching this video
after 2 weeks of fighting with this problem.
you are my hero :)
awwh man, that's so nice to hear! lucky you solved it in such a short time ! Mine was going for like half a year..
ARTVENTURE FILMS same feels bad
Him: “If any of you have had this problem then you know that’s it’s sooo frustrating”
Me: “That’s, why I’m here.”
:D
Star Wars reference
i’m so frustrated i have this problem but idk if it’s my power supply and i don’t have another one to test it
@@sooki553 I ended up getting a new power supply, and it pretty much fixed the problem for me.
@Cat can you elaborate?
Hi, I got this same issue of yours. Geez, I tried anything, replacing cpu cooler, video card, RAM, reseating all the cables, hard drive, fresh installing Windows, anything. Nothing happens, until I watched your upload very carefully, I was like "Wow, I forgot to replace my PSU tho", my PSU is lit since 2010, still kicking and I don't know why my PSU could be a traitor of this unsolving issues to my unit. Haha.
Now, I replaced the PSU, check all the cables, cleaning of dirt inside the chassis and it runs fine
You deserved more viewers, mate. Cheers.
Holy smokes man, that sounds amazing! Glad i could help to fix your issue, even though it seems like it could've been a little earlier 😅 Anyways, awesome that it works and thanks mate !!
This means I need a Bigger PSU. I’m on 750W😭
Thank you! You are a life saver man, just bought a gold Corsair RM850X and my PC stop rebooting randomly.
Awesome dude, glad it works!
the most funny thing about my problem is, i just watched all of the channels about pc troubleshooting, for the past week, and i got the answer in here, maybe we just have the same problem, but maybe, you explain it really well. thanks Mr Andrew Scott, have a great day!
My pleasure! You too my man, hope everything works out well!
does it also give a blue screen with different errors before shutting down ? I am having something similiar thesedays but only while gaming session rest browsing and entertainment there are no crashes ?
Good job troubleshooting. Experiencing a very similar issue and hoping a new PSU will fix it. Fingers crossed.
Hope it'll work for you!
Did it fix it?
@@whyme6867his PSU exploded and is no longer able to respond
First I encountered that issue I was 16 now in 18 and I realized it's getting worse it was shutting down rarely when I was playing same games then it started crashing after every 10 or less minutes after that it started same crashing when it was booting so I thought it was overheating, I bought a thermal paste and now my cpu temp is 50 to 65 degrees, it couldn't help the next target was RAM I had 8 gb of ram pretty old actually, so I ordered 4x 2 gb ram it couldn't help either so I looked at hdd it was also old but working I replaced it with ssd now its still doing a same I tried gpu too but nope and now it's time for psu and thanks to you for saving my pc good video you have new subscriber 👍👍
Six years later someone turns up to say... I have had the same kind of problem for at least a year. Never shut down under load, like gaming, just randonly while idling or occasionally launching a program or clicking someone, but after having tried almost everything, yesterday I found something relatively reproducible while using Resolve (wild eh?) & a power supply is on its way. And NOW I've come across your video so I'm lesving a comment as a kindred spirit. Wish me luck when it gets here! I want to feel that relief!!!
update?
Idk if you’ll reply to this but when it crashed was it a complete black screen shut off or was it a blue screen or a windows crash. And did it restart automatically or did you have to turn it back on yourself. I think I’m dealing with the same issue right now.
i've showed how it looked like right at the start of the video. It was straight to black screen and power off and instantly back to reboot sequence.
Hope you'll get yours fixed too :)
I have Fractal define 7 and RTX 2070..For some reason the heat cannot escape. So pc would suddenly freezes and reboot into the bios. I then removed the top and then the side panel. And no random freeze and reboot..I has two 140 mm intakes in the front and a single 140 exhaust in the back. But I don't know if I need both fans in the bottom and in the top ? Because it's like the hot air from the gpu stays in the bottom of case ?
Wow this is the first time I'm seeing someone have this issue and actually solving it... I recently just built my first PC a few weeks ago ( its a Ryzen 5 3600 , RTX 2060 KO system on a asrock B550 mobo) and I can run most games at high settings but whenever I do anything like multiplayer my computer just shuts down... tried to check its stability on default bios settings and everything on Cinebench and it can even make it a minute through it before shutting down. This is all new hardware so I have no idea what the problem could be or where to look.... but thanks to this video I think i'm just going buy another PSU and pray it solves my issue
Thanks man, really appreciate your message and details about you problem !
Hope it will solve it for you as well 😃
Did the new psu solved the problem
@@AsherAmir2002 we have the same parts! How did you solve it?
@@michaelb2149 it was the psu as I upgraded my gpu the psu couldn't handle the load and stress taken by gpu so you might have to replace power supply
@@AsherAmir2002 I've been using the same 650w power supply for a year and this just happened a week ago. 🥺 I'm reformatting as we speak and will see if something worked on me.
Could my issue be similar (psu issue) even though it says I have corrupted system files? or would that point to a windows software issue? I assume that means I have a software issue instead considering my PSU worked 3 days ago. I even tried a new GPU and the same thing happens. This is also my 2nd PSU on a 1 month old build, the first one was DOA and didn't work.
Depends how it shuts down. Does it show the error message and then shuts down? Then I would say software. Really hard to say with custom builds. How did you get those corrupted system files in the first place?
Ayy man i just built a new pc with all new hardware and im running in a problem where the system would just shut off and the audio would start cutting off and sort of lagging so as the video on yt and coming back on and after a while it would shut off and turns back on. Can you please please tell me what it could be wrong with it. If u need more info ill be happy to tell you.
Hey Can you help me out, I had bought a pre built a couple months ago and it worked perfect until the last 2 months where it would randomly shut off during gaming sessions. I really don’t know hat causes these shutdowns but I’m 99% percent sure that it’s my PSU and I think this because I took apart my whole pc and found out the fan on my PSU does not spin at all even during start up and everytime I touch my PSU it’s extremely hot like not touchable hot, do you think an overheating PSU is the cause of my random shut downs?
Sorry for my late reply dude. I would say yes, it seems very plausible for me. Try to cool down your PSU in a different way and see if it still happens :)
I'm having the same problem with my Gigabyte motherboard. I built it 2 years ago and all of a sudden it's been shutting down almost as soon as I turn it on.
I know the feeling!! Today I fixed my PC. It had all kind of strange problems the last two weeks. It turned out to be a boken USB hub... when I pulled the chord out, all was good in the world! Great feeling! I just can't stand imperfection!!!!
So nice to hear man! 😃
Hey i have a problem. My pc shuts down while im NOT in a game but seems to be fine when im in one it can also instantly turn off when i turn it on, and the fan just goes 100mph forcing me to hold the power button then turn it back on.
Just went through this myself and it was just as you said - unbelievably frustrating! On a side note, the music in your videos is really loud compared to the voice =]
Thanks for the tip Saif :) unfortunately I can't change it though.
Hope everything works for you now 😊🙏🏻
My pc randomly shut down when my pc was idling, before that happened, usually after streaming or playing high cpu/gpu usage game
.i have asked someone near me for help and they all said coz of the faulty Psu.However,it is really not too worth to buy a psu right now as the pandemic. Should i just do my own fix (my pc air flow or cpu thermal paste could also be the problem)
hey man, sounds like a pain in the butt. Sorry to hear that. Read some of the comments too, someone suggested you could have too much dust in the PSU, which can cause power shortage as well. Maybe try and fix it yourself with doing other things too, if you think it could be thermal paste. At least you know it wasn't the thermal paste.
However, i had random shutdowns with a faulty CPU too, so maybe check that as well if you have the opportunity.
Oh no.... I have a hx1000i PSU. If it IS my power supply its going to suck because the upgrade for my power supply is going to cost 500...
You have a 600 watt power supply, so thats pretty inexpensive to switch. did you upgrade or just replace?
I'm not quite sure. I think i bouht a different model with the same amount if not a few more watts. Wasn't much of a difference though.
Hope it works for you!!
Then there is a chance the power supply is simple faulty. I’ll call the computer company in the morning
@@CirqueitOfficial make sure you get a proper brand with the same watts. Corsair and Seasonic are your best bets.
eppsislike believe it or not. My current 1000 watts is a Corsair... platinum rating too....
But my hardware is hybrid content creator/gamer with demanding specs.... so I’m going to invest is a “beefier” PSU (1600watts)
Do you have a preference in that caliber Psu?
Thanks for sharing,..it is a same issue in my PC problem solved now.
I have the same problem but with the thing that i bought my computer 2 weeks ago and built it my self. At the beginning my pc was working ok, but one day i had like 5 shotdowns in my hose, since then my pc keep crashing when i play Valorant, Civilitation, ARK, but rarelly with LOL and Minecraft. Also the temperatures are below 72C in my CPU and below 60C in my GPU. I tried it all but i think my PSU might have broke. Can you help me??
sad to hear man! how can i help you though? did you try lowering the overclocking?
i can only tell you what i did in the video. try to exchange parts and see what works..
Reason to these shutdowns are usually windows updates that are not very compatible to current drivers.
One issue I noticed right off was the single power cable run to both power plugs on the video card. Individual cables should be run to each plug.
Mine is randomly shutting down and not restarting. The lights stay on. I can’t reboot unless I unplug the psu.
I can relate this man's emotion. From a month or so, I've been frustrated from random shutdowns.
My pc just shuts down randomly, opening perticular apps, video rendering, editing, plugin perticular usb devices, even plugin mobile via usb, dual channel rams doest work some times, system doest boot with gpu installed, cabinet fans turned on etc. And I was so distracted from rectifying the root of cause by these silly incidents.
Hense I've Upgraded my mothetboard, Sold Old Motherboard at cheap price, reinstalled windows, returned to old drivers, reinstalled CPU 3/4 times, cleaned CPU, RAM Socket, Altered Rams in different channels. It looked like problem was gone for a short time but after that no success. I was kind a depressed.
After a deep thought, Finally I've figured out that I was using a used repaired SMPS from 1.5 Years which was given from service center as product replacement. I'm going to buy a good quality SMPS which will surely solve my problem ❤
There are two major facts that I Learned here:
1) Never use cheap local grade PSUs.
2) Always begin from the root in order to find & fix any problem.
Hello i have the same problem with my pc but when mine shut down it doesn't start again I need to try and try times and times again to make it start I don't know if its the same problem it was running perfectly before and im operating on win10 i don't know if some updates cause this.
Bro my pc turn off directly and then i press the pc button and then it didnt turn on after 10 min i press the button it turn on then after 20 seconds it turn off again. What should I do now please tell me!
I replace gpu,ram, battery,psu,
Everything but it didn't work please help!😭
I have now found this video and I built my pc like a month ago and I went on vacation for a week and my pc keeps just randomly crashing at random points but I’ll try to use your advice to help me establish what the issue is with my pc
I wish you the best of luck figuring out the problem! not an easy task. You might get some helpful advice in the comments too. Thanks for sharing dude!
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Thank you and yeah I got it to work after around an hour or so of trouble shooting:)

I have a 1060 6GB and some benchmarks restarting the PC, using a Thermaltake SE 630 83% modular. Then i swapped gpu to 3060 and now crashes in games too... i need to change PSU? Why is a 630w psu not enough for this, not even for a 1060? I just spend all my saving to 3060 so i have no money left for change the PSU :(
thank you very very much. my son has been on my case about playing games and pc shutting down never ever thought of a power supply until i change the power supply. almost throw away graphic card
So cool it worked for you two! Thanks for reaching out 🙏😊
my computer crashed while i was watching
Hi suddenly my new gaming pc shut down after i login to windows. After shut down only Ram's RGB lights still on. I opened up again and it shut down with same way what's going on?
Pls answer me
So my pc just shuts off randomly and i try and turn it back on but when i try and turn it on it wont but when i replug it into the outlet it turns on and after a few minutes of playing a game or something it turns off randomly
AMAZING!! I've been getting this issue since a few days now and it is FRUSTRATING I can totally understand your relief and happiness :D
I'm gonna get a new psu today!
Hopefully it will be your cause too!
Yes super frustrating indeed but running fine ever since 😃
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS YESS PERFECTTTT I fixed it!!!! Works now :D
@@akai8632 so awesome !! :DD
so im on laptop with this problem , what should i do ?? battery ?? (ps: i'm always plugged in power source)
I got new mobo and new cpu new psu 750w...my pc chrashing when i play games i mean reboot...tried with 2 different gpus still reboot
I brought a new power supply and still crash and reboot 😭any suggestions it’s only when I go on a game or stress my pc I don’t understand what it could be I’ve clean installed new windows and everything
Bro my pc keep shutting down when im not playing game,do you have any idea why?
Sometimes it comes to a crash screen with an "American Megatrends" Trademark screen with a bit of info of your pc and then the error. It just says "CPU Over Temperature Error" and then F1 to go to setup (BIOS)
maybe try and see what happens when you change the overclocking, so that the cpu wont run that hot. could be the thermal paste too. just guessing though. Any dust in the heatsink?
I’ve had problems with my pc too, I did all your steps and changed my power supply with no luck. The crashes only happen when I’m doing simple tasks like browsing the web. When I’m playing games it runs like a charm. I have swapped about every part. Do you think it’s related to my motherboard ?
Oh man, that's sad to hear you put in so much effort and it still crashes. You have swapped out every single part? GPU, PSU, RAM, Software and so on?
The CPU as well? Because that is one part that I didn't exchange when doing the video, but had to change one year later.
Having to swap out the whole motherboard is almost like a new build. Of course you could try but I'd do every single option before the motherboard. Good luck dude!
What was the problem
slxrp. My problem was related to some bios settings all i did was change the Vcore. I have not crashed since, found this on a forum, where someone had the same problem as me.
@@marcuzbeats7730 care to give me link ?
Can you please tell me if you decreased or increased your vcore? I Have same problem swapped every possible component yet no luck :(
My system crashed and when I restarted it and went into bios my screen was crackling and my CPU was 71c and my motherboard was 52c are those to hot or something?
I've been getting crashing when working in AE, I've troubleshoot every single aspect of my PC with no sign of failure. I feel like I've been on your same journey and am about to try a new PSU today. I hope it also fixes my issue. I want to share your joy haha.
haha i hope it works out for you! i know how frustrating it can be! fingers crossed 😃
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS New PSU didn't do it for me unfortunately. I tested every single part of my PC and everything tests good, even with the new PSU. The last two things were motherboard and or software related (Drivers). I did something I would never normally do... I tried one of those All-In-One driver solutions. Specifically DriverPack 17. It looked fishy as hell, installed some software I didn't want, like Opera, but in the end, I think it fixed my driver issues. I'm starting day 2 of no crashing. Seemed to have been a driver issue afterall! I will report back if my issue comes back.
@@ROMTHIRTY Awh man that sounds like a lot of struggle but awesome that this driver solution worked for now. Fingers crossed it will work out for good 😃
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS It Didn't. Lol. I got some more freezing. I've since then tried a couple of more things and it's been stable once again. Not sure if it's another illusion or not, guess i'll find out in due time. New things I've tried are setting my HDD settings in my power options to Never turn off. By default it's set to 20 mins. I tried the HDD repair from boot and not from within windows, and ran another driver software that found some drivers missing still. I'll report back with results in a day or two.
@@ROMTHIRTY yeah let me know! tried CPU yet ?
I use b450 aorus pro wifi with amd ryzen 5 5600g without graphics card sometimes pc turns off automatically never on again I have to press on button cpu usage 100 percent when export cr3 raw images in Lightroom its cpu usage increasing 100 percent then off suddenly I use Chrome for play songs it's turn off again I checked everything but didn't checked smps and ssd but health was 84 percent had health 100% I can't figure out it's so frustrating Would you explain this I'm suffering this issues with 2 months
Mine has been shuting down at random for so long. It even shutsdown while I go for coffee and the pc is literaly doing nothing. No open programs, no open tabs, not anything only the deskop, and when I'm back it is restarting. Wtf. By the way I have done everything to try fixit and I live alone so I'm starting to think it's ghosts who reboot the pc. Please send help. I dont have money for a new pc so this one needs to be fixed.
have the same thing like your pc although mine restarts randomly. debug lights indicate a ram led lit on then it restarts normally. still hesitating which one should i replace if its the psu as well or the ram sticks.
hard to tell mate, hope you'll figure it out.
My problem is that my PC putted like limit to CPU when it goes above 80°C it shuts down,and I putted it abive 100°C and PC wasnt crashing until I did full pc reinstall and now I cant find that option...
GTX 1660 Super- Gpu fan spin at high speed suddenly and monitor turned to black screen...What should I do? Remove GPU and clean dust with my microfiber towels on it and somehow it fixed my problems
I was feeling nervous for you when you tested it haha, I still have to fix my pc. I've found out it might be my keyboard... It's the last thing I would think off. Anyways if it's not my keyboard I'm getting a new power supply, hopefully that will fix it.
haha, it was super intense for me 😄
Hope you will get yours fixed soon!
did that fix your issue?
@@mohdafaanx yes it did, once I removed the keyboard it didn't crash randomly anymore, but I did have a different issue: it was crashing at startup everytime and after that it would work fine. But that has now also stopped so it's probably completely fixed
@@mohdafaanx I would definitely try a different keyboard if you can, because it's very easy to check and it can be the problem
@@lvs8768 I tried using a very old basic logitech keyboard and the crashes didn't stop, they were just delayed.
Before the pc would stop under almost any load such as games or editing. When I switched keyboards, I was able to play the game for around 5 minutes before a crash. I'm still trying to figure out whether o should get a new power supply or not.
I’m suspecting that my issue is my power supply because mine is a cheapo, a ThermalTake Smart 700. I wish I could get my money back and put it towards a better one but I guess I can’t do that. I’d hope that I can keep getting them replaced over the warranty period when they go out. Maybe there’s something wrong with my house because the OEM PSU in my old system died too, which was when I got my gaming unit. Mine crashed playing RDR2 and then played Forza 7 fine for hours but I was navigating Google Maps yesterday and it started misbehaving and crashed 2-3 times.
Was nice to see you so happy fixing your pc! I''m on the same pad right now but the problem is i dont really have money to change the hardware to see what whats wrong with my pc... i've already tried
-Nvidea software downloaded
-All drivers and software updated
-Processor max capacity settings changed to 50%-70%
-Computer cleaned from unnecessary sofware and making more space available
-Checked if all cables are in it and all hardware (not done yet)
-asked for measuring instrument volt meter to measure watts and graphic card (not yet done)
-Checked for corrupted files or necessary windows 10 updates
-Software windows adjusted to low quality settings
- Cleaning the shitt out of it
Oh and By the way, my pc has a 750 WATT baterry
Thanks Jasper! Hopefully you'll get there too!
If you want another opinion I would love to hear how and when your PC crashes.
750watt really seems like it'll be enough for the normal PC.
it crashes while gaming, not while i play league of legends but games like guild wars 2 or doom. It never crashes while im just using the pc but only when i use heavy sofware like go pro studio :(
@@rubenpolle123 Jasper Spierings Hmm, I would start with CPU and GPU. Can you borrow another graphics card of a friend? That's what I've done.
And I would try and go even lower with the CPU max capacity setting, just to be sure.
Hope you'll find the issue soon!
do you have a link for the power supply?
My brother, i bought gts 210 gpu so, on the computer shop my pc run properly and perform well but with their PSU in my case the gpu is 8pin my old psu was 6 pin i bought the 500w power supply too i didnt check too much and take my pc to home when i turn on the pc its ran normal and shut it down like yours i found all the stuff internet youtube etc.. But i think i found the real problem their psu was 600w and mine is 500w thank you so much bro you saved me ❤️ love from sri lanka
thanks for reaching out brother, glad i could help!
Why would you buy a new PSU without testing the one you already have?
However my pc crashes when I play city skylines II. NO OTHER GAME crashes it.
this happens sometimes..but this time it wont turn on again yet the screen and everything still is getting electricity
Hi, i have an amd 9590fx, in an asus msa99 fax pro r 2.0, i had removed the fan because the pc seemed to be overheating with some apps so i wanted to put a liquidcooler in, the coller i bought from ebay was missing clips so i wanted to put my giant heatsink and fan back on my cpu, thats the only thing i touched, and when i took the motherboard out to swap the fan.
Whats happening now was that the pc wouldnt post, no picture, and would switch off after a few minutes, so i checked the ram by switching slots all the usual, i also reset and put new paste on the cpu, and pressed the directkey button on the motherboard which got me into the bios, i couldn't find any issues in the bios, but now the pc goes on, i get the post screen for a few seconds, sometimes 20 seconds sometimes 3, and thats all it will do now, i just want to use my pc till i can afford to buy a better cooler and avoid heavy apps. Could you help me please?
I was also having a lot of issues with my pc and windows 10 that I thought it was my hard drive dying. Reinstalled windows numerous times and still having issues. But eventually I also found out the psu was the issue, replaced it and never had issues up to this day.
Sounds great man! Awesome that you've fixed the problem!
I was having the same problem bro, so I changed my PSU too but guess what it's still randomly shutting down .

I had my system, a Dell Desktop XPS 8940, 32 Ram, 8 Gig NVidia 3060 RTX Ti, for over a year without any problems. I always did my updates from Dell. My last update from Dell included at least 15 various upgrades. The update went smoothly, then a week later the system would shut down randomly without warning, I could be logged in for a minute, 15 minutes, or an hour, then crash. I resolved the issue by running sfc / scannow at a command prompt while logged into Windows, then chkdsk /f /r via a command prompt in windows, the next time you reboot the computer, chkdsk will run a repair the system. this worked for me, good luck.
My pc had never shut down until today. I installed an old hard drive from an old pc to get some photos/videos out of it. I left the hard drive on and decided to play apex legends. As I went into the lobby, just by pressing anything the pc would shut off. I would turn it back on and try the game again, it would shut off again. I then removed the old hard drive, and was able to play one game, but now it shuts off again. Only on apex legends. I don't know what could be the issue, as the pc is basically new
Hey i think i have issue like u. My pc was shutdown randomly. When i play point blank and open chrome or line it not shutdown. But when it's work to hard like play valorant, after maybe 1-2hours, it shotdown randomly. I think i have to replace my psu too. But i build this pc just 2day ago. With psu 1stplayer 400watt 80+bronze. Did u think this problem like ur ?
hard to tell man. i would like to help but honestly i just don't know. i wold try the easy stuff like overclocking first and work my way up. like in the video.
My set up is asrock 570x gaming phantom 4s, Ryzen 5 3600, XFX 5700xt raw II and 600w ps4. I had an issue where my pc should just shut off when playing games only so I thought it was a gpu heat issue or driver issue. Did everything in the video and it still shut down. So I tuned the gpu fans to turn on full max around 65c and the issue still happens. Finally I figured out it was a cpu or psi or bios issue because my card wouldn’t get over 65c gaming. When to the bios found that my cpu critical rage was set to 75 and fans were on standard. I changed the cpu critical range to 95 because that is the range for amd 3600. The. Went to fan settings in my bios to do a custom profile when to kick on fans at full throttle at around 64c. Saved my settings restarted the went to power settings in windows to adjust my power performance to 90% instead of 100% just to test. Play monster hunter max settings with no issues. No pc shutdown. My bios was shutting down the pc because the cpu was hitting Over 75c. AMD CPUs and XFX 5700 cards run real hot and use a lot of power. Definitely a cooling issue for me and the stick cpu cooler is not so great if you want to keep your cpu under 85c while gaming. I am investing in a cpu and gpu water cooled setup. Everyone says it is normal for amd to run at those temps but for longevity I will be upgrading my coolers. This was just my problem so please try at your own risk , just thought I might share how I fixed the issue.
Thanks for sharing mate! Glad you could fix it. Might help others as well. I will pin it up top 😃
miguel melendezmedina Thank you bro my pc has been shutting down randomly when trying to play games for like 3 months this fixed it
ColinGaming Awsome!!!!! Yeah I was having the same issue but since I did these changes no issues. Glad you got it up and running.
miguel melendezmedina same thing happened to me, do you know how to change the settings he did on bios? I’m trying to do it right now
ColinGaming Hey im trying to do these same settings, How do you do them in bios? I don’t know how to change the CPU critical range to 95 or the fans
Which power supply did you use
Hello! I am looking at every video i could find on fixing my computer. so my problem is it always shuts off while playing games, so I bought a new graphics card, and it still was shutting off and when I put my hand over the heating system its cool, is there a way, you could help me. this has been going on for almost 2 years now.
Well, I tried to explain my technique in the video 😊 maybe that can help you find another solution.
@@Demonitized999 get a new pc
Hi bro when I render a video on sony vegas Pro 17 my monitor turns black but my fans light and everything else stays on and then I have to restart my pc do you think its power supply
Hey man, does your PC turn off or does it still render and only the display is off?
Then I would say it's not the PSU and would check the graphics card.
If the PC turns off and reboots or anything I would try PSU. But not sure man. Very hard to tell!
My pc runs short time and turns off when i turn it on ..
Any help ?
One gets a lot of these computer maintenance dealers who will tell you your graphics card is burnt out, but it is not so, they sell a new ultra-expensive one & resell your good working old one, most computer users never open the chassis.
I had the same problem in work while rendering in Premiere Pro, the whole computer would just shut down. Task Manager said it was using 100% of the CPU and CPU fan was max out making a lot of noise. I change the setting to GPU Rendering in Premiere and that seemed to work. Now Task Manager say that CPU is being use at 37% to 49% while rendering. I did not change the power supply cause it is works computer. Plus its rendering faster on GPU Rendering.
what if i dont have a typical power suply like i dont have one that has 24pin i got one that has weird connectors from a prebuilt do i have to replace the powersuuly case and motherboard ?
Tough question mate. Maybe search for PSUs that are similar to the one built in?
Hey! I have the same problem. However, in my case, when I boot my computer on the LED indicators, the CPU light goes red. My PC only shuts down during gameplay which makes me think it’s the PSU as that requires more power but if it’s the CPU, I’m in deep shit - Lol. Would love to know what you think!
I also think it’s the PSU as I have recently installed a new GPU which is when the issue started.
not sure what it means having a red cpu light. but if you tried another gpu and it still happens it could still be the psu. not sure though. very hard to tell.
Did you find out what the problem was eventually?
my dell laptop is not responding it doesn't show the power light and the on light even if I put the charger on it doesn't respond,the laptop is a built in battery
My pc shut down while trying to watch this video 😂
I just got my pc brand new and this is happenigs.
Awhh shit man! hope you'll figure it out soon
did you fix it? same thing is happening to me
@@dawheat_ no bro i sadly had to send it back and get a new one. :/
xanuell send what back?? the powersupply?
same
i've same problem with unexpected shutdown..
Sometimes this shutdown come every week or a days.. when just idle or doing easy working..
After shutdown, Keyboard led still on as 5v
I'm checking voltage PSU, Temperature CPU & GPU are almost fine
Im confused:(
Yeah not easy to find those issues. Hope you'll solve it soon!
Mine doesn’t shut when I’m doing anything . Soem times it will work but then the next day it shuts off as soon as I input my password
Gonna try this metode,I just bought and rx 570 my PSU 380 with athlon 200ge,It couldn't go above 1000 MHz GPU benchmark and crash,ty for sharing hopefully it will work
No worries! Hope it'll work out for you!
i hope this will sort out my problem . when i use my cnc machine on my computer my pc crashes the same whey . hold thumbs please
Thanks, I never thought of the power supply. Mine has been on 17 minutes now and that is a record. Edit it is still working but my computer would shut down not just go off, I would say "shutting down"...one time...humm well it is still working.
My laptop crashes even I am not doing anything
Like no moving the mouse or no keyboard interaction (if I am watching something or some kind of animation is going on then it won't crash
But if the vedio or the wallpaper is pauses
And nothing is showing on screen (not working on the pc at that time) it randomly crash and
Restarts
Mine just completely shut off and won’t start for a while, all the temperature are wont even get past 50 for the cpu and 75 for the gpu
Temperatures are not related to the power input. Might be worth checking your power supply as well. I'm only guessing though 😉
yo so my pc shuts off when i play for 20-30 mins with gpu. but when i run off cpu graphics, I don’t crash, but people still tell me it could still be a bad power supply. any ideas?
because the gpu and cpu together need more power than the cpu alone? when you switch on the gpu, it might be a little too much for the psu but how would i know 😉
i punched my desk and my screen just went black i thought it was my screen until i took a look into my pc through my glass door and i saw the ryzen wraith prism with no led and my gpu fans isnt spinning my mobo told me something is wrong with my cpu the led was lit up i shut down my pc to take a look on the cpu and now i dont even get a boot and now im sitting here
I just bought my Rx 570 and it crashes when I play heavy games my PSU is cheap so I think it's the PSU problem or overheating. My pc becomes so hot btw can this be fix if I change my cabinet because my cabinet have so little space and rx 570 is so huge
definitely cool down your pc. give it air to breathe !
Please someone help me I've boot my pc from my USB to install windows but my pc turned off while installing after I've turned it on to boot the pc normally I found only the USB and everytime I try to install windows it turns off please I really need help
I keep having this issue.. it shuts down randomly or gets st
hello, my pc shutdown randomly by itself when i'm in chrome, playing something or doing nothing, this can happen in one minute, hour until days, else i checked my gpu, cpu, hdd, rams, psu and case and everything are working fine, i think that my problem is my motherboard, i saw it but i cant found nothing strange :(
i5 7400
z270a prime
gtx 1060 3gb
16gb 2x8 ddr4
550w psu
Hey man, that sounds very strange! hopefully it is not your motherboard. did you check all the other options, like overclocking, software and stuff? maybe explore the comments a bit to see what other people have done.
Hello, i have the same problem like you, i noticed that before shutting down the pc, the Ez Debug Led of the CPU turns on, that also happens to you?
@@diegosantacruz2802 hi diego,i understand you, i changed my motherboard and no more problems for me!!!!! ;D
bro just remove thr graphuc card in past i had also face the same problen so frustrated
i just built a new pc.. the motherboard is expensive ... that makes me think it must not be the problem. But still the same problem persists for me and I cannot change the motherboard now
Mines did the same but restarts rather than shutdown....I've concluded that it is indeed my psu as I have a thermal take PSU....
Not my temps ,
Doubt it's windows .
Gunna give it a try knew I would regret going with thermal take 😅
Hope it works out for you man 😃
Check if its your case cables, i had the exact problem and Reset SW cable caused the issue.
I'm have the same problem and I have been suspecting power supply or weak capacitor. 700w power supply and I have 3 disk drives and an RTX 2070. I think I'm pushing it.
This has started to happened when i played high power usage games such as escape from tarkov and call of duty modern warfare hopefully once i get a new psu this works
My gpu is at a constant 100 degrees and I can't get it to go down.
Started happening to me too, pretty sure its my power supply (300w)
I could buy a 500w one, would it be enough? Or should I go for more?
hey man, sad to hear! I would say if you upgrade from a 300W to 500W power supply it should be enough. I can't say for sure though, because I don't know your setup.
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Hi, thanks for answering after such a long time! (I meant the time since you uploaded the video) Geforce GTX 960, i7-4790, 7.89 gb ram, 1920x1080 60hz
@@yau7 Honestly, I'm not an expert but i'd say 500W is plenty. Would rather assume something else if it's still not working after the upgrade.
And no worries at all. Hope I could help.

I've already tried so much and i still didnt find the problem
@@rubenpolle123 hi any update
why is it that the most powerful systems i see on youtube tend to give the most trouble?
Maybe because they're custom built, not designed by professionals and not tested if the components work well together?
good question though :) thanks for reaching out
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS but mine is a custom buld too, but i built mine with lower performing parts, but not necessarily poor quality, the brands i used were: EVGA, Gigabyte, Intel, Kingston, Toshiba, Thermatake
@@zulu6756 sorry, but i don't know dude. I'm not an expert ;)
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS well me either but i took my time and i did everything myself with my hands and screwdriver, i made sure all the connectors were in properly and its been running so good for almost a year now, very proud of my build.
What was your GPU and psu combo in your PC?
no idea my man. it was 2 years ago and i sold it already..
im on geforce gtx 1660 i7 9th gen z390 a pro and 550 w psu but always crashes randomly is this set bad?
sorry but i'm not that much of a tech guy to answer this specific question. hope you'll get it fixed
