My PC is crashing whene ever I load a level in any games like Witcher 3 or Wolfenstein The New Order.​


I am getting BSODS when ever I load any level of any game I play. The PC gets struck and restarts itself to the windows desktop. What could be the problem? Is it the GPU? or RAM? or the CPU? Please help. Normal browsing does not give any BSODs at all.

3 possible suspects:
1. gpu
2. psu
3. ram

i had experienced a similar issue on my pc a while ago-the problem went away after I removed both of my ram modules and reinstalled them-so most likely they had become loose over the course of time and were randomly causing BSODs while gaming.

Check what is the setting at Control Panel --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Startup & Recovery --> Settings

Make sure that Automatically Restart is unchecked.

So hopefully next time it occurs it will not automatically restart and you will get time to know what error it reports on screen.

Secondly check Event Viewer for any system failure messages, that might hint at possible cause.
Check your CPU Temperatures.
If you have System restore enabled on OS Drive, try restoring to a previous stable config.
Re-seat all parts like RAM, GPU, SSD etc.
How old is the PSU?

Yesterday while gaming my PC got struck and did not even boot. So I reseatted the RAM into 1st & 3rd slots from 2nd & 4th slots. Then my PC booted into windows.

PSU is 5 years old.

My PC restarting with the below error Message while gaming any game
Even while installing AMD Adrenalin its giving the same message.
I ran RAM tests which came clean. I dont have alternative PSU. Is it because of the GPU? I dont know.

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Playing game might mean stressing CPU & GPU. Assuming that routine tasks like MS Office or web browsing are ok, try prime95 stress test.
Also Heaven Benchmark. FurMark etc

DDU - try to fully uninstall graphics driver and install the latest one
Check the temperatures - HW Monitor
The event is so quick that looks like Windows is not getting any time to even record an event.

Try system restore.
If it is HW failure then replacing the faulty part is the final solution. While I can't be so sure more probable items are PSU or mobo or GPU.
