My pc freezes after every 5 min… what would be the issue can youl help me guys…

I recently bought a used FB Marketplace PC with the following specs:

Motherboard: ASRock B650 PG Lightning

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x

GPU: ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB

PSU (original): MSI MAG A650GLS

RAM: 16GB DDR5 4800Mhz (single channel on A2) Part Number: CT16G48C40U5.C8A1

SSD: INTEL SSDPEKNU010TZ

Ever since the day I bought the PC from the guy, I've been having consistent hard reboots while gaming. Only while gaming. It happens most often while playing Warframe, but has also happened in Sons of The Forest, Minecraft, and Guild Wars 2. It's also happened (less frequent) for my girlfriend while she's playing The Sims 4 and Paralives. I'm pretty much at a loss for what is going on.

I have tried/observed the following:

• Swapped PSU to MSI MAG A850GL (no reason for extra 250w, just all they had available)
• Ran DDU fresh install all GPU drivers
• Tried multiple different undervolt settings for GPU. Also tried with stock settings.
• Updated BIOS
• Ensured no XMP/EXPO profiles
• No CPU overclock
• OCCT CPU test - passed
• OCCT Memory test - passed
• OCCT Power test (prior to PSU swap) - passed
• OCCT 3D Adaptive test - passed
• OCCT VRAM test - produced a LiveKernelEvent 141/driver crash once 22m in to 1h test.
• No WHEA-Logger errors. Mostly Kernel-Power 41 entries after crashes.
• All temperatures/voltages are fine.

I'd also like to note that it does not BSOD when it crashes. Sometimes the game freezes and audio freezes for a split second and then screen goes black and system reboots. Other times it's just instant black screen and reboot. It only happens while gaming as I previously mentioned. Sometimes I'll be able to get 30-45m in to a match on Warframe and then it crashes, other times it'll crash 5 mins after booting game. It's completely random.

I am currently testing disabling Resizeable BAR/AMD Smart Memory with a -10% power limit and -200Mhz max freq offset for GPU. Like I said I'm at a loss of what to do and I've pretty much reached my knowledge limit and ChatGPT is running me in circles at this point. I know I started myself off rough considering it's a used FB Marketplace PC but, what can you do.

If anyone here has any experience with issues like this or has any insight they could provide me with, it would be much appreciated. If there are any logs that I can provide, or any screenshots of anything please let me know and I will do my best to provide them to help with further diagnostics.

EDIT: GPU driver version is 32.0.31021.5001 per HWiNFO

EDIT again: HWiNFO system summary

My PC powers on, but the GPU fails to initialize, and the motherboard's VGA diagnostic light remains on. The system was running without any issues just two days ago. Yesterday morning, when it first failed to boot, I removed the GPU and confirmed the PC runs flawlessly on the integrated graphics (iGPU). I then took the GPU to a local repair shop where it tested perfectly. After bringing it home and reinstalling it, my PC worked completely fine again.

​Unfortunately, the exact same issue has returned today: no display, and the VGA light is solid. I have already tried running a single stick of RAM, double-checking all power cables, reseating the GPU, and clearing the CMOS, but nothing is working. Occasionally, the GPU fans will spin for a minute before stopping, but other times they don't budge at all Edit: Tried different PCIe slot

TLDR: pc is exploding into overheat doing basic things like opening file search or webrowser and steam. Worked perfectly fine prior to july 7th. Need help as need pc to work, and not just gaming. Confused as replace thermal pads and paste. Starting to think maybe intel chip or a setting/software is the culprit. Thank you all again for the help, still no solution.

EDIT:pictures of pc case and pictures showing the temperture differences from just opening a program or continuing the malaware scan.

Edit2: Ok info people have wanted in in the above link. My room is starting to heat up cause pc. I just did random letters for pictures cause using my screenshot was getting into the red and freaking me out. I have to turn off pc, it goes down to low temps in seconds so I am starting to think it is some software issue, but I cant keep using it atm.

Thank you all who check out this thread, I am a bit freaked out as I need my pc to work from home. If this isn't fixed by monday I am in trouble. I already am penny pinching as it is and I built this pc from scratch into an old pc case. Everything is replaced, I dont know what else to provide.

Thanks for your time!

Edit3: pc is on the floor just as I figure out what is wrong. Neck and Back began to hurt during disassembly.

Edit4: No virus found after a 1hr and 30min scan spanned 4hrs from me pausing serveral times.

The mind Bender

This began wedesday july 7th 2026 after downloading a mod for the The long dark to enable save editing.(Look I beat the game already and wanted more fun to derp around). (Also mod has a good reputation and has been around since 2019)I played the game my pc stayed at a good temp of 118f to 121f. After the session was done, I quit the game and then left my pc idling in discord vc, to take a nap. When I awoke my pc was overheating at 212f so I promptly turned it off. Since then my pc overheats just from bringing up the default google or morzilla pages. Hell I cant even open steam without it getting hot.

To remedy this I went ahead and bought these products:

ARCTIC TP-3: Premium Performance Thermal Pad, 120 x 20 x 1.0 mm (Stackable to 2.0 mm Without Performance Loss), 4 Pieces - High Performance, Particularly Soft, Ideal Gap Filler, Bridging Gaps x2

ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, Xbox), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive, Non-capacitive

and replaced the old thermal pads and paste in my gpu, thermal pad for my ssd, and paste for my cpu. Despite doing this, my pc still is getting hot from basic tasks such as doing a malaware scan or opening the file folders.

I have been slowly doing a virus scan of my pc, pausing every so often in case its a virus doing this. I have meticulously blown out my pc with an electric air blower every 3 months for 4 years so there was hardly any dust to blow out. My room has been at a steady 78f despite the heatwaves.

My pc is next to a wall yet even when I pulled the location. It did not help this over heating issue and in the past in the same spot it would idle fl studio and scrivener , steam, video software etc with no issue and 108f to 118f.

Id also like to ad cpu temps return to 120f when pausing virus scan or quitting any and all applications.

I appreciate any help in understanding what is going on.

Hi everyone,

i'm having a frustrating issue where my PC instantly shuts down (like a sudden power cut) whenever I try to play games. It runs completely fine when I'm just browsing the web or working on the desktop, but within minutes of launching a game, the fans start spinning like crazy (very loud) and then the PC completely turns off.

I have attached a screenshot of my current system specs

* **The issue started recently;** after I had to replace my old motherboard. My previous motherboard was a higher-end model, but after it died, I replaced it with this entry-level: **ASUS PRIME H510M-K R2.0**.

* I'm running an **Intel Core i7-10700F**, and it boosts up to **4600 MHz**.

* I am very confident about the cooler installation and thermal paste application, so I don't think it's a simple loose cooler issue.

Could this entry-level H510M motherboard be struggling with the VRM power delivery/voltages when the i7-10700F boosts during gaming, causing the shutdown?

يا اخوان عندي مشكلة بكرت الشاشة غابنتني ومحتار ارجعه للضمان انا مشتريه قبل 8 اشهر المشكلة بدت عندي تقريبآ في شهر 1 يوم 20 بعد تحديث الويندوز | المشكلة باختصار تقطيع وعدم سلاسة اذا حركت الكاميرا يمين ويسار بالالعاب الموضوع مو دروب فريم لان الارقام ثابته وعالية بس الاحساس الفعلي كأن الفريمات اقل بكثير ال 60 فريم احسها 30 وال 90 احسها 50 الى 60 وال 120 احسها 90 حتى لما جربت اثبت الفريمات نفس الشي

Necesito ayuda con una PC nueva.
Intenté instalar Windows desde una USB. El instalador arrancó correctamente y comenzó el proceso de instalación. Dejé la computadora trabajando sola mientras instalaba el sistema.
Cuando regresé, en lugar de estar terminando la instalación o haber iniciado Windows, encontré la PC dentro de la BIOS.
Y cada que inició la pc no inicia el Windows ni la usb a pesar de que estan como opción de boot

La usb fue creada con la herramienta de Windows

La configuración es
Placa madre : z790s wifi ddr4 gigabyte rev 1.1
RAM : 32gb ddr4 3200
CPU: i5 12600kf
Grafica : rx 9070

Soy nuevo en esto del pc

Reseated the gpu to route a pcie cable, tried turning the pc on, fans turned on, gpu lit up, ram lit up, no rgb, case fans running

I’ve tried everything, new power cables, reseating the cpu, reseating the ram, tried either stick, took out the cmos for 15 mins and still nothing,

I just bought the cpu and motherboard and it was working earlier on in the day. Super frustrating

Those are really not the kind of games I thought my pc would get in trouble with but here we are 😂

What you can see in the video is induced by Pokemon Z (downloaded on the website of the creator), but earlier this year I got the same issue with Coromon, launched with Steam.

Each time I played the game for a few hours for ~2 days, and after 2 or 3h on the third day, suddenly the bug appeared. After the first occurrence, it keeps happening a little bit faster each time.

And the weirdest thing is that when I close the game, the bug keeps going! I then have to turn off my computer, and when I turn it on again it is all good.

I have searched online for a solution but never ever found this bug anywhere

Here are my pc specs :

• Windows 11 pro
• B650M Pro RS WiFi
• AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
• ram 32go

Thanks a lot to those who would wanna help 🙏
