@west patrol Anything about this looking weird to you?

"Basically crashes itself" doesn't help much. Screen goes black and the fan start going at max speed is usually either overheating or XMP, PBO causing some issue. There's a lot of things that it can be.

#

I'd start by monitoring temps. A good baseline is Idle temps never being ambient temp+20 celsius.

#

Could also re-seat GPU and re-seat the power cables (the ones that go to CPU and GPU), just be careful about static and everything else, but I'd first check temperatures, then disable XMP/PBO and whatever Overclock you have.

While running the game my GPU was at about 72C and CPU at about 64C. What I find weird about this issue is even if I let me PC cool down after it crashing, the fans are still going at the same speed as before even when idling

I think thats a bit high, try cleaning your fans, checking your thermal paste and other coolents you use. If that dsn't work check how hot you room is lol

I figured out the issue is with my PSU and it is happening overall now

#

Atleast GTFO brought it to light early before something worse happened

When you change to another PSU, remember to swap all the internal power cables too with the ones provided with your new PSU.

I confess that out of all the psuedo-community managed tech support forums this happens more often here
