My custom built desktop pc (parts list here) keeps randomly crashing. What happens is usually: My monitor loses signalall my peripherals stop workingThe pc seemingly stays on for a few minutes (the rgb doesn’t turn off)The pc finally shuts down.I’ve tried multiple things to fix this issue. I’ve reset my bios by removing the battery from the mobo, and I’ve reseated my gpu and ram. Somehing to note is that sometimes the pc emits an odd smell, like a burning smell. Can anyone help me fix this to get my pc working again?(AMD Socket AM3 unrelated, i just picked that because the forum told me to select a device)
Ways to fix Fix 1. Cool the Computer The motherboard, CPU overheating, and poor heat dissipation will cause a crash. The monitor, power supply, and CPU generate a lot of heat during work, so it is very important to maintain good ventilation. If the monitor is overheated, it will cause color and image distortion and even shorten the life of the monitor. The heat dissipation of the CPU is an important issue related to the stability of the computer’s operation. It is recommended to open one side panel of the case when using the computer in summer to increase the heat dissipation effect. If it is a laptop, it is recommended to use a cooling fan or a cooling pad. Fix 2. Clean the Dust After a long period of use, your computer and laptop hardware can get very dusty. This dust will seriously affect the heat dissipation of the computer. This leads to a decrease in computer performance. For example, if the floppy drive head or the optical drive laser head is contaminated with too much dust, it will cause read and write errors, or even cause the computer to crash. So, you need to regularly dust off the hardware in your computer. Fix 3. Check the Hardware Connection Vibration during the movement of the computer often causes the internal hardware to loosen, such as loosening of the memory bar, resulting in poor contact and causing the computer to crash. Therefore, severe vibration should be avoided when moving the computer. Fix 4. Check the Hard Disk Bad Sectors If your hard disk has bad sectors due to improper use or aging, your computer is prone to crash randomly when it is running. You can use special disk partitioning software Regards, Will
Sound like its the PSU Or CPU, Why I say CPU is because it says on the part list that the MotherBoards Bios need updating
