console deserves to be on a solid team and this roster is looking good so far. Tryout!

So my computer has been shutting down super randomly lately. Sometimes it’s immediately after booting into windows and sometimes it takes an hour or two. I’ve been monitoring temps/running stress tests and nothing has been overheating, my CPU is not overclocked and I lowered my GPU overclock. I’ve done windows memtest and nothing was wrong there either. I took everything apart today, de-dusted, reapplied thermal paste and made sure nothing was glaringly wrong. I also reset CMOS yesterday and that didn’t seem to fix the problem either. The program I’m running on my computer doesn’t seem to affect the crashes as it will crash regardless of what is running at that time. To be more clear, my computer black screens but does not power cycle or stop running, which is usually indicative of a graphics card issue, but like I said, it’s never going over 70C. The only weird thing to happen is that the last time it crashed, immediately after black screening I heard my GPU fans jump up to max power and then power back down. I’ll add my part list in a minute. I have a hunch it’s either a PSU issue or something with my motherboard. I do have a spare PSU that I’ll use to test either tomorrow or Monday, as well as a spare GPU.

Thanks!

Anyone in Minneapolis for SGQQ? The venue is like 20 minutes from me, wish I would've registered to go

IIRC I changed the boot priority #1 to my SSD, and I'm pretty sure that was it. I had tried booting it on the SSD a few times before it stopped working but every time it would reboot it would tell me to select a boot drive as if it forgot I set my SSD as the boot

Please continue leaving. Thanks!

This probably isnt the problem, but I would check your temps while you're playing. Could be an overheating issue

Edit: just realized it was a laptop. I've had similar issues in the past due to overheating. Definitely convinced it could be the culprit here

Shdsteel that is magnificently beautiful

If you have any pictures of the build, i'd love to see them

I know that a lot of people have posted in the PC Build thread about this, but most of those builds are 2-3 years old. Just curious what your guys PC specs are and the FPS you get in some games

Really good dm. Definitely has the drive to get better from my experiences with him subbing for old team. Could play low IM on the right team but definitely would benefit from playing a solid top playoff open season. Definitely a good pick u

UPDATE

Never heard back from Best Buy. So applied to sales at Target. Just got back from the interview and they hired me on the spot for a sales job. I interviewed with 3 different people (hopefully a good thing). Can definitely say all these tips you guys gave me hard carried my ass. I accept the carry. Thank you guys

Edit: I realize Target isn't very selective of applicants, but I still appreciate all the advice!

Thank you ConsoleWarsGamer
