So recently my roommate got himself a new prebuilt in, from day one which was 3 days ago its been pretty much unplayable.
Specs are,
i7 11700f with stock cooler
16gb ddr4
asrock b650m-c mobo
gtx 1650 msi ventus oc
600 watt psu
1tb hdd
500 tb m.2
windows 10
So at first, Any game he played would cause his pc to restart after about 10 or 15 minutes of gameplay, Sometimes as fast as 4
Looked into some things did a quick clean install of windows and it remained happening. Updated all drivers, etc. Windows event log shows some 10016 errors which i doubt have anything to do with it from what ive read, as well as some user power mode errors.
Fast forward a few hours of searching, finds some stuff that says maybe try borderless window, which worked for a lot longer but still crashed for him after about 3 hours. This was last night, He found an article somewhere and did something the article said and went from not being able to play fullscreen to being able to in some games, but not all, At least for the 3-4 hours he tried, but say planetside 2, will crash after a few minutes still. .when i say crash this is what happens, the game will freeze, Pc will freeze, cant ctrl alt del, or alt tab, stay frozen for 5-15 secs and reboot itself, a handful of times its been stuck at frozen and required a force restart.
I have swapped out gpu,psu, and ram and it still did this, He can play some games but i just wanna figure this out, it makes me feel bad he just got this thing and its giving him issues. Any input appreciated.
