Hello, my pc is about 1 month old, when i run games ( it used to happen at all but now only AC:Syndicate as far as i tried and used to appear in DOOM 4 and watchdogs ) when i start the game from main menu the screen goes off the the back fan's voice goes very loud and the only thing i can do is force shut down the pc from button, i'm really scared and confused is this overheating or bad PSU
PC SPECS: ASUS H110M-K Motherboard
ASUS STRIX RX 480 8GB
8GB Kingston 2133MHz RAM
Intel i5 6500 3.2GHz CPU
PSU is Zalman ZM600-le 600W
The pc temps:
GPU between 70-85c in gaming (tried on watchdogs) CPU between 45-50 in gaming (tried on watchdogs)

Could be PSU but those symptoms may be something else. Have you run any tests? I think downloading and running Memtest would be a good start.

Are all your motherboard and gpu drivers up to date?

When you built the PC did you do a clean install of windows?

Are you overlocked anything? And is your pc loud when you are gaming? And do you see any artifacts or glitches (screen flickering, strange textures and colors, blue lines, pixeled screen etc.)

No, Nothing is overclocked at all, my pc is normal and not loud in gaming, and the graphics are completely fine while gaming

Not the GPU but its drivers, have you downloaded the latest from AMD?

You should also download all the latest drivers for your motherboard from the ASUS website. If you haven't already then your running generic Windows drivers.

Also was this a fresh install of windows and not a clone from another PC?

I had kind of a similar problem where my PC would just freeze. I would suggest downloading Drive Booster 4. The soft will update all your drivers. This might help you.

If you suspect it is only GPU drivers, then download 3d Gurus Drive Sweeper and properly re-install your GPU's drivers. I assume you would download the latest version from you GPU's website. http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html
