Hello all,

Just recently i upgraded my pc and put in a new Motherboard, cpu and some new ram.
After the upgrade my pc starts crashing every time whenever i start up a game.
The game runs for probably 5 to 10 seconds and after that my pc turns completely black and restarts itself. In that time my pc fans are still spinning so it never really shuts itself down.

Specs:
Motherboard: MSI B350 gaming pro carbon
CPU: Ryzen 1600X
GPU: R9 380
Ram: corsair ddr4 8gb
HDD: 1TB and 3TB
SSD: 128 GB
PSU: Corsair VS650
Cooling: corsair H80i liquid cooling

I am using windows 10 and already reinstalled it once, but that didnt do the trick. I've also checked for temps from my GPU and CPU but they never really got to the danger zone point (90 to 100 degrees celsius).
I've also formatted all my drives once and also checked them for any problems with it but i also got nothing from that.
From what i've tried i think that whenever my pc shuts down is whenever my CPU and GPU come under load.

I hope someone can help me with this problem as i'm completely out of idea's.

Thanks in advace.

You're in good shape man. You verify you are on the latest version of your motherboard's BIOS?

Beyond that, I'd download memtest from passmark.com, make the bootable thumb drive and boot to it. Just let it run for 4-5 hours (you don't need to touch anything after you boot to the thumb). See if it throws any memory errors.

Alright thanks for all the answers i'll give that a try, as for the bios update i just installed the newest but im still having the problem. but it could also be that it always happens with 1 specific game, as i only tried that one to see if it works (fyi its World Of Warships) but i'll see how that goes. But either way i'll still give passmark.com a try, thanks a lot.
