  • In today’s video we’re taking a look at how you can troubleshoot a PC shutting down randomly when playing games. This wasn’t just a simple power supply swap, this took way more effort than I thought it would and I hope it gives you some ideas if you have a similar issue!

      Hope to get a reply, I'm having this issue of PC shutting down when gaming but not when I just browse/stream/etc. It's been driving me crazy. I replaced the PSU and no luck. I followed your steps in this video and it shuts down when running the test with Cinebench. Could this mean my CPU is bad? Thanks for the video and any further info I may be able to get
      Edit: Fixed the issue. Turns out that the CPU was overheating after all. All I had to do was take off the CPU cooler and clean off the old thermal paste and then applied new thermal paste and put the cooler back on. Temps are now good and PC is no longer shutting down. This video helped me narrow down the possible issues so thank you for that!

      My brother is having similar issues with his desktop, and we first suspected a GPU issue. We swapped GPUs temporarily, and he is having the same issue, ruling out the GPU. We are going to try swapping PSUs next.
      Yes, not everyone has extra components laying around, but chances are you know someone who you could potentially swap components with and troubleshoot that way.
      Yes, it is time consuming and a little bit painful, but if it means replacing one component instead of an entire several hundred (if not thousand) dollar computer, it is worth it IMO.

Think you can manually delete them but im not sure how to do that. im sure there are youtube videos on how to do it out there though. If that doesnt work Im not an expert either.

    Thanks for this video, its was a really good first step to troubleshooting a similar issue on my desktop. Turns out the GPU wasn't getting enough power while gaming because of the extension cable it was hooked up to. I never would have imagined that was the issue. I tried everything else before that (Reset the Bios, removed all CPU and GPU overclocks, uninstalled all my old GPU drivers, tried differnt RAM, Resat the CPU and replaced the thermal paste, etc).

    • @thickthorplays

    Your process helped me a lot. My PC started shutting down with or without a bsod for a week while playing video games. I thought it was my gpu/cpu/psu or my storage drives but the tools you showed said otherwise. Damn it was hard only to find out that I had a duplicate of the game on my ssd and hdd lol. I think it was having a conflict because the crashing never happened again when I deleted the duplicate. Didn't know that game duplicates can mess up your PC.

  • @IsSidMad
    @IsSidMad 3 года назад +6

    if the problem is overheating from high end processors/gpu when playing ultra/high settings without adequate cooling (like in most gaming laptops) then a quick solution is to go into power options > change plan settings > change advanced power settings > processor power management > set minimum processor state to 5% > set maximum processor state to less than 100%. Mine is set to 75% and I haven't had overheating problems and random shutdowns while playing since then. This does lower your framerates so find a good balance that works for you.

    • @IsSidMad
      @IsSidMad 3 года назад

      also if you use avast anti-virus, make sure to go to their "Do not Disturb Mode" and uncheck the "maximize performance" box for each app/game listed there so it doesn't automatically set your maximum processor state to 100% when you open the app/game

    @shalamigri 3 года назад +13

    Wish I would have found this video BEFORE I spent about 1 week resolving my issue. Your step 1 would have saved me A LOT of hassle.
    I had a PC that would reboot periodically while gaming. I thought I had an issue with my CPU cooler because my temps would get kind of high at times. I replaced it with a better cooler, but that didn't fix the problem.
    What I did was download a monitoring software called HWinfo and GPU/CPU load testing program called Cupid Powermax. I would first start the monitoring process with HWinfo and then start load testing the CPU. As soon as I started the test for the GPU, my PC would reboot. This happened every time I ran both load test together. My first guess was that I had an issue with the graphics card, but I decided to uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them. That seems to have fixed the rebooting issue. I'm not sure if I had corrupt drivers or not, but my guess is that a Windows update may have caused this issue a while back with their last big update.
    So for anyone reading this right now, don't skip the step one that he mentioned. Completely uninstall certain drivers and then reinstall them BEFORE doing anything else.

      @@Reptile1997 The issue actually came back. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with Windows 10. I ended up reinstalling Windows because the PC started rebooting again. After reinstalling Windows, my PC was fine and experienced no reboots for about 4 to 6 months. The issue is now back again though.
      I have a gaming PC that I bought on Amazon for a decent price at the end of 2018. However, the first thing I did was swap the PSU with a Corsair 750w modular plug PSU. No issues at that point. At the end of 2019, I replaced the SSD and HHD drives for nvme drives. No issues right away, but about midway into 2020 is when the PC started rebooting. Uninstalled and reinstalled Windows at the end of 2020 and that helped the issue for 4 to 6 months. This is why I don't think it's a hardware issue.

    I had a similar issue that ended up being traced back to the cpu cooler. I was having a crashing problem on certain games, but it didn't crash in heaven or other benchmarks. The temperatures seemed fine too, being 85 max for the cpu and 80 for the gpu consistently under load for long periods of time. The computer was still crashing in pubg and fortnite. After swapping out my stock cpu cooler with CM hyper 212 black edition the problem was fixed. Mine seemed to be that the processor was getting too hot. Even with stable temps in a benchmark utility and monitoring my temps with HWmonitor during gaming, nothing seemed too out of the ordinary.

    I recently bought a new rig, and I've been playing a majority of games on it from high-end AAA titles to more basic competitive games like CS:GO,COD,Rocket League etc.. or some random cartoony platformer games that aren't as demanding.I recently got"The Master Chief Collection" and "Sea of thieves", and that's where I started seeing problems. My PC shuts down only on these two titles.I tried troubleshooting and had no success on this.These are the steps I took while troubleshooting:
    - Checked driver versions on all software I have.
    - I checked if there is any 3rd party software that might be problematic.
    - I checked windows event viewer for any specific kernel power events apart from the generic error that the PC shutdown unexpectedly.
    - I ran all the benchmarks that are out there, and I did not encounter any problems there.
    - I've been monitoring the temps of the GPU and CPU for some time, and they stay pretty cool, even at max Load.
    - Tried resetting my BIOS settings.
    - I ran multiple diagnostic tools to help me clarify where it could be coming from.
    - I only haven't tried swapping out any specific parts.I was hoping that that the PSU or the motherboard or something could be faulty, but i can't seem to simulate this, and it doesn't make sense how I don't see this problem with games that are 10 times more demanding than (Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sea of Thieves).
    - I did some investigation on both these game's community sites and saw that some people are experiencing the same issues as me, but sadly with no resolve on their complaints.
    I basically work and play on this PC all day, and have never experienced any shut downs of this type on anything besides the two games.
    This happens while playing only these two (Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sea of Thieves)
    This is my setup:
    CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
    GPU - XFX AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8GB
    RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB)
    MotherBoard - b450 aorus elite
    PSU - EVGA 600 BR 600W Bronze
    2x 1080p Monitors
    Sounds to me like It's something related to a software issue, but to shut down the entire PC... Has anyone experienced anything of the sort?

I had the same situation as you, where some games would shut off the PC while others would not, regardless of how demanding the games are to run.

I also have tried countless software fixes, none of which helped other than a full factory reset.
