GPU issues

[YousifDoofus]

it only happens when i play games and just recently it shutdown twice in a row, but since it freezes before it shuts down i cant tell if its because the gpu or cpu but the gpu usage was 95+ and temps were 70+ and i only had 2 apps open, roblox studio (game engine for roblox) which wasnt doing that much i was sitting on 40% gpu usage and like 50-60 temps which was whats normal for me at this point and i had discord open. If i cant find a way to fix it then i might just call an expert, thanks for the support through this though.

If you had another GPU to try (old spare one, friend, family, neighbour, work PC) would you feel comfortable in taking out your current one and installing this ‘new’ one?

If the answer is no then it’s time to either take the PC to an expert, or get a friend to help you.
We all started our technology journey as complete muppets, so we know what it is like to not know what you don’t know.
It’s never a bad thing to know your limitations and get help, and if you watch what they do or ask what was done, it can be a learning opportunity.

Does your GPU issue only happen when playing games?
If you surf the web, check emails, watch a youtube video, edit a Word document - all is fine?

sorry for not adding this in but i just cleaned the pc from dust and it helped a bit its reaching 60-65 which is still bad i guess but when i opened it i searched for the power bank and since im not a pc builder and i never researched about it, i couldnt find the power bank.

Going forward however, we are eventually going to want to know the power supply details,

The RTX 3060 variant uses a real junk Huntkey 500W PSU that is not even Bronze efficiency rated.

oh sorry i forgot to message back but i cant check the power supply cause its covered by something like a protective case kind of and its connected to the case, also when i cleaned my pc it lowered the temperature a bit but its still reaching 60-65 in games.

Is that the GPU temp?
60-65 while gaming sounds normal to me.

Fwiw, this computer has not been set up correctly from day one so regardless of the PSU information ( which has already been provided in reply #13 four days ago ) a clean start is required but this time things should be done correctly.
