you only have 1 ram module? if it's a yes, it's ok if it's a no, then run a memtest testing all modules

unstable 12/5v rail doesn't mean it would fry something, it just means unstable, sometimes the psu supplies more stable current with a stable voltage, sometimes it doesn't but that doesn't always fry things, that just make things work bad, and this MIGHT be the case.

i agree on probably not being the video card.

the malfunction of a ram module could cause blue screens, freezes and pc not starting at all

mobo malfunction could cause it, but it could give every kind of problems, literally everything, it's probably the hardest thing to detect, unless you try another mobo ofc.

either psu, mobo or memories

you could test it but you'd need a lot of tools such an oscilloscope and other things, that'll take much time and money, so i'd skip that, and i'd go for the most simple, try another psu, even one of those grey sh**, just assure it can supply 400/450" at least, and try to use the pc with it. anyway such motherboard should tell you that u're hardware is overheated in the splash screen after the crash/freeze or whatever it is, anyway don't buy a psu just to try this, i'm not 100% sure, find some way to get one for free and try it

ye and explore everything and keep us posted.

Thanks!!! all i care is, overall required money, pc rental (60 or more hz monitor, i don't care), a good place to sleep at, and pretty much what you said "Its about having fun, meeting friends, getting drunk and playing games - in that order pretty much" i don't care if it's serious or about the prizes, or fast internet towards outside, i just hope the switches and the routers are set properly to have a good LAN experience. looking forward to hear more info

What OS are you using sry? it's pretty rare to see a pc crashing for overheating issue being under dos, even if you remove heatsinks and everything it's hard to make it crash, anyway it might be a PSU issue, but not wattage related, more likely something failing (maybe not really stable 12/5v rails, that could cause the instant shutdown and those weird colors), corsair is known for such issues, they have some really good PSUs but often some of the lower quality series have these problems.

if you can try another PSU that would tell us what problem really is, if it does confirm my theory it's bad coz a not stable power supplying to VGA, CPU, etc, but mainly VGA, could f**k up those components, causing a more expensive damage.

another theory could be RAMs run again that memtest, let's see what happens, if it crashes again try and detect the ram stick and remove it, and try that memtest again.

edit

good to know

you 2 must be trolling

Linux :facepalm:

might be this, anyway be more specific, psu, motherboard brand and model

any info, prices and other stuff?

topK3K

is it possible to find somewhere the i52 fully charged episode, with admirable?

just put 0 (none) or refresh rate*5 (60*5=300) the thing of double+1 is horseshit and actually you can see the difference between that, and not limit

you're the best :)
