Recently upgraded my PC and it is crashing when I try to play graphically intensive games. Not crashing to desktop full shut down and restart. Doesn't crash for any other reason and I am not overclocking anything.
I've checked the drivers, the thermal paste (using a CoolerMaster 212 Evo), I've scanned my hard drives for errors, I've checked event log which notes an error related to kernel-power, I've checked all the connections. I am at a complete loss. The PSU is only about 3 years old and has been working perfectly fine until my recent upgrade. I recently deep cleaned my entire case so I don't think it's a gunk issue. I ran Prime 95 both heat and power tests on it without any issues as well CPU never went above 65c during the stress test and about the same for GPU and it didn't shut down during the power test so I'm not convinced it's a heat or power issue. Kind of running out of ideas though.
I have been searching the forums for similar issues to try and find a solution but so far no luck so here I am.
