I need some help or direction. I’ve had my pc for about 5 years and have never had this issue a single time. I was playing The Witcher 3, and my PC crashed mid game. Completely turned off. I turned it back on, it booted and I was able to log in. About 30 seconds later, my PC completely crashed again and I cannot get it to boot now. I tried to clear the CMOS, that did not work. What do I do now? Or where should I start?
Could be your psu.. Do you know what the temps were around that pc shut down ?
I did not see, as it was an abrupt crash. When I booted back up shortly before it crashed, my GPU temps looked okay. Didn’t get to check anything else before it crashed again.

Software such as Windows can crash and when it does crash you get a BSOD and when enabled a crash dmp is generated, programs or games when they crash can on occasion close to the desktop but the computer will still be 100% functional.
Hardware failure such as a weak power supply and/or overheating are not software related and when a computer for example suddenly turns off, freezes or the screen goes black etc the behaviour should be described as the “computer shut down unexpectedly” or froze etc and not as having crashed as the latter implies a software issue as opposed to an obvious hardware issue when described properly.
Having the correct info means that helpers will not be looking for a software issue when the problem is clearly hardware related.

A sort of click noise like it’s attempting to power on, but nothing happens.
Confirms that the computer never crashed but instead suffered hardware failure.
Are you okay with working inside a computer, this includes being aware of all of the safety measures that need to followed.
