pc restarting while gaming
Hey everyone, I’m having some frustrating issues with my PC and would appreciate some help figuring out what’s causing them.
My PC specs:
* CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700G
* Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M
* RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (2x16GB)
* GPU: Integrated Radeon graphics (no dedicated GPU yet)
Here’s what’s happening:
I’ve been playing some games like ds3, lol and genshin and all the games randomly crashes. Sometimes the game simply closes, while other times it crashes without restarting the entire PC.
Things I’ve tried so far:
* Checked my RAM configuration in the BIOS. XMP Profile 1 was enabled, and I switched to EXPO Profile 1 because I’m using an AMD CPU.
* Turned off and reseated the RAM sticks to clean them and swapped their positions.
* Updated my AMD chipset drivers.
* Ran sfc /scannow in Command Prompt as administrator. It found corrupted Windows files but reported that it couldn’t repair some of them.
* Tried running chkdsk, but I encountered an “Access denied” error, even when running Command Prompt as administrator.
After updating the chipset drivers, the game crashed and closed without restarting the entire PC. Sometime after that i tried again and it restarted.
I’m now wondering whether the problem could be caused by unstable RAM, corrupted Windows system files, a storage drive issue, or something else entirely. Also appeared some ''kernel-power 41'' error, i tried to use some AI help and found a bugcheck code 314 in the details. Thanks for any advice
