PC Freezing up during heavy load games (All USB connected cut out and lose power and screen freezes)

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

Recently, My Whole PC crashed maybe once a day during playing games like PUBG or GTA V, Or generally under heavy load.

The whole screen freezes, the sound cuts out with a harsh shatter sound and my USB Connected devices (keyboard, mouse, mic) lose power completely.

I've tried upgrading my PSU from 430w to 550w and clearly still an issue.

I removed my overclocked gpu settings, still getting it.

Most likely related to temps but I have no idea other steps to take.

What model?

Motherboard?

Overclocking or not?

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018

use hwinfo and check temp fans speed and voltages .

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

I linked the PSU Model.

Motherboard is Asus Z170P

Iv'e overclocked my gpu but I've removed that.

I still hit high temps however.

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018

do you see the fans spins up as temp raise up in gpu check this with hwinfo and the gpu-z rendering option both on .

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

scout_03 :

I have no idea where to see my fan speeds.

Should I test it with a game like PUBG and see if the fans speed up?

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

WITHOUT PUBG OPEN - https://prnt.sc/i00yte
WITH PUBG OPEN - https://prnt.sc/i0124l

Only thing I personally see is ym GPU Clock speeds go from 900 to nearly 2000...

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018

check on the sensor page of hwinfo something like this http://www.overclock.net/t/1235672/official-hwinfo-32-64-thread/1330

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

Okay, I'll take screenshots again and hopefully you can help me

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018

on the sensor page you will see all details .

The gpu seems to speed up when PUBG is loaded, frm about 700rpm to 1200...

EDIT - It is actually at 200rpm just watching a video.

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018

ok use hwinfo sensor page then use gpu-z rendering and check voltages for psu and fans speed on gpu and temp as load comes up .

scout_03 :

What am I looking for? Should I just send you screenshots?

Do you know why my issue is being caused?

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

How do I use the rendering?

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

What am I actually looking for and what do you need to know?

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018

see this the fellow press the question mark to start it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o25EWcgRh-E

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

Yes, but what voltages? What am I actually looking for!?

Connote · Jan 13, 2018

This is the results with the rendering loaded up after 30 seconds - https://imgur.com/a/Q188E

scout_03 · Jan 13, 2018
