A gaming PC is a personal computer specifically designed and optimized for playing video games.

Pc keeps crashing and I have tried everything

my pc keeps crashing, getting blue screens of death, random shut off of the game or turned off completely. HOWEVER, THIS ONLY HAPPENS UNDER LOAD OR WHEN PLAYING A GAME I also get corrupted windows and files of that sort. EX, cannot run safe mode to try and du to clean reinstall drivers. Something wrong with the error, I have redownloaded windows entirely twice, full clean reinstall

I have tried to measure cpu temps and gpu temps, both operate within range, pu gets as high as 80-85 egrees celsius, high not enough for it to crash/thermal throttle. gpu sits comfortably at 50 degrees.

Not the issue at hand for the two of then

so as my next test I thought it was the ram, i ran a couple of tests in the software, reseated it anc cried again. Kept crashing, do not think it is the ram.

I then downloaded disk manager info to se the SSD health and it seems to be completely fine. 97% healthy

Update: I then bought a new psu to troubleshoot but thr pc still crashed, i bought two sticks of ram and it still crashed but not turning off fully but rather the game simply closes now. I have no idea what to do

  1. Motherboard (VRM, chipset, PCIe lanes, faulty slot/traces)
    • Since both new PSU + new RAM changed how it crashes, the board may be unstable under stress.
    • File corruption hints at faulty memory controller or chipset.
  2. CPU
    • If the integrated memory controller (IMC) is damaged or unstable, it can cause RAM errors even if sticks test fine.
    • 80–85°C is okay, but silicon damage/instability isn’t always temp-related.
  3. GPU
    • Less likely since it only closes games now (instead of full shutdowns). But a flaky GPU can trigger TDR crashes, BSODs, and corrupt data if drivers bomb out.
    • Have you tried running a different GPU (even a cheap spare)?

🔧 What I’d test next

  1. Run OCCT or Prime95 → Stress CPU + RAM together, see if system dies outside of gaming.
  2. Try with integrated graphics (if CPU has iGPU) → Remove GPU completely, game on lowest settings. If stable, GPU is the culprit.
  3. Swap motherboard (if possible) → Since PSU + RAM swaps affected behavior, motherboard failure is very possible.
  4. Check BIOS
    • Reset to defaults.
    • Make sure XMP/DOCP is off (run RAM at JEDEC speeds).
    • Update to latest BIOS.

⚠️ Strong suspicion

Given your troubleshooting so far → I’d bet on motherboard or CPU. If you can borrow a GPU, test that first, but if crashes continue even without GPU, then the board/CPU pair is almost certainly it. I used ai to do this.
