Computer crashed, screen went red

BravoRed5 · Jul 8, 2016

I was playing Shadow of Mordor for a few minutes and then suddenly my screen just went red, I didnt touch anything after that and my computer decides to restart itself.
Is this a problem with the GPU? because I had this problem before but it was with R6 Siege like a few weeks back, it's the same thing but the screen went green on R6. Everything is running on default settings, basically i didnt overclock anything.

spec;
i5 6600k
MSI R9 380
8gb of ram
PSU: Corsair CS650M

Was there any error message? And is you cpu overclocked?

JoshRC :

No, there's no message, just a red blank screen.
I haven't overclock my cpu

Green in R6 and Red in Mordor, strange. Update GPU drivers, check GPU and CPU temps (should not be soo high). Apply updates on the games.

Updating my driver, but at the time the R6 crash occurred my driver was up to date.
Im idling at 32c and 40-50 when gaming

Test the Ram, plug out one Ram and test it, if you have 2x4GB Rams. Sometimes these screen problems are because of Ram but in this case I'm not fully sure.

RAM test first and if that passes then wipe the hard drive because a virus or a corrupt driver hard to track down can be lurking there too. If not, reseat the other components besides the RAM and make sure the SSD/IDE connection is tight.

I'll do that, oh yeah and another thing this crashes rarely happen, only whilst im playing a game.
I did some research and I've found out 2 guys playing the division and had the same problem, I looked at their computer spec and they have the same corsair 650 psu, but I don't know the model, I have a feeling there's a problem with the psu.

PSU is the mother of all things in System. If it has some problems in it then any other component can make issue while using the system. May be there can be an issue with your PSU. You should test it properly, before going to take hard step on it.

I really don't know what hardware is failing anymore, just replaced my PSU with the same brand and model. I played 3-4 games in R6 and I'm getting freezing issues, but this time instead of the computer crashing and reboots itself, the screen froze for like 10-15 seconds then it went normal for a couple of seconds and back to freezing again, it did this for like 3-4 times then suddenly it went normal, another thing to mention is whilst my game is freezing I can still listen to my friends in Discord talking
and they can hear me talk.
Any ideas what's wrong here?
