So I have had my pc for a little bit over a year (got it for christmas) and i had no trouble with it, that is until i upgraded my graphics card and my power supply. At first after this upgrade eveything was running great but the past month or so when I am playing higher end games (gta v, rainbow six siege) it will play fine for a little while then just shut off without any warning. At first i thought it might be a temperature problem but i put a fan down by it and im still getting the crashes, my build: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and i have a RM 650 power supply. Any info will help thanks

EDIT: I went on event viewer and under critical errors it says Kernel-Power for every error. idk if it helps but yea. pic: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I think it must be the temperature, but it can also be your power supply. When I run games like GTA V on my PC, it get's a little hot and then it shutdown without a warning. Consider getting a new fan or checking your power supply.

Clean every part on your computer. Take it apart and clean each and every part. Try to get all the dust off. Computers just run better when they are clean. If you want to keep it cool water cool it, it is expensive, but in my opinion it is worth it.

Water cooling a pre build and an outdated cpu is completely the wrong move. So no.

Cleaning a pc to make it run better only occurs if the pc in question is 3-4 years old and has lives on a carpet. Otherwise that won't happen.
