I've recently come across an issue where games such as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and GTA V will completely lock up my game and my computer after about 5-10 minutes of gameplay, requiring a hard reset of the computer. I assumed the problem was just Siege, in which the lockup occurred the quickest on this game (even after assuming it was a graphical issue by adjusting in-game graphics settings) but then I played about 30 minutes of GTA V to come across the same problem.
The first issue with the entire computer, however, resulted in the same programs completely turning off my computer, in the sense that the monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. would turn off, but the components inside my tower would still be working (led's still lit, fans spinning, etc.) The fix for this problem seemed to be a BIOS update, which worked well for about a month until the problem above began occurring. I'm beginning to think it's my processor, as it's the only component I haven't re-seated due to an attempt at finding physical damage/upgrading the part, such as putting a better cooler on the GPU to replace the single-fan (due to the temps on the GPU reaching maximums of 80 degrees Celsius during gameplay, now at a cooler 50-60 Celsius.) I had never thought my processor to be the culprit in the past, however, as temps for my cpu with a stock cooler had only ever reached upwards of 60 degrees celsius. Other than this, I've disabled game boost in my BIOS. After months and months of extensive researching throughout these forums and many other sites, I'm giving up on my search and giving it to the community. And advice is appreciated
Specs:
Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb (added cooler; Accelero Twin Turbo II)
Ryzen 5 1600 processor (with stock cooler)
Samsung 2 tb SSHD
EVGA 500w Bronze PSU
1x8 DDR4 Ballistix Sport LT 2666 mt/s Memory
If any other system info is needed, please ask. I'm not the most professional with computers
