    PC randomly crashes and restarts when playing games


    This is strange. About two days ago, I all of a sudden started suffering from hard crashes when playing games that force my desktop to restart, one of them gives me a green screen but the others gave me a black screen. The one game in which I got a green screen seems to happen after a few minutes but the other one seems to happen randomly. My minidump folder is empty except for one from March, and when open that it with Blue Screen View it says the cause was was ntoskrnl.exe.

    PC RANDOM RESTART AND CRASHES

    so again today i was playing a game and in the middle of the game the pc restarted again itself with no stutter or fps drop ingame just randomly the screen freezed for about 5s then the pc restarted

    is it a software or a hardware problem?

    i noticed that it happens only while gaming and almost in every game , sometimes it only crashes to desktop but mostly a pc restart

    PC crashes/restarts when playing most games

    PC crashes and then restarts when playing most games. Have clean installed windows and drivers multiple times and temps on cpu and gpu are healthy. Crashes at random points depending on game normally after initial loading screen. Can play hearts of iron 4 on borderless but resolution is not 1080p. All parts in build are new except gpu which is from old build. DESKTOP-DDGQ60S-(2023-02-10_01-49-41).zip
