PC Freezes When Playing any Video Game
So i've been traveling for the past 8 months and come back to my PC only for me to not get any display when I first turn it on. After Reseating both the GPU and RAM multiple times, I can finally get into it and it runs fine..... until I play a video game.
The full system freezes when playing games; Screen locks on current frame, no response to keyboard or mouse, requires holding the power button or flipping I/O to force a shutdown. Originally noticed mostly under heavy load games(Squad, Arma), but has also occurred at low load(KSP, CS). It's an old computer that i've beaten the **** out of and I'm planning on replacing it soon, but i'd still like to play some games on it. It also freezes when I plug in a second monitor to the gpu HDMI slot, but is fine wehn it has both monitors plugged in before turning it on.
When I ran Windows Mem Diagnostic, it immediately froze, but was fine when I did MemTest 86 for four passes. I've done WIN+SHIFT+CTRL+B durning a freeze and it only made a beep. Event Viewer says that there was Event ID 41(Kernel Power, Critical)
Here's the Specs:
ASUS Prime A320M-K With AMD R5 2600 six core
RTX3050
16GB RAM
Recently updated BIOS, Windows, and Drivers(Through NVIDIA)
550W Bronze PSU
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
