I've replaced the PSU and GPU.

I've redownloaded drivers.

I've reinstalled Windows.

Nothing is working.

Should I replace the MOBO next?

Whenever I play a game it crashes to a black screen and forces me to turn of the PSU from the back.

It used to crash to a blue screen and restart, now it just crashes completely.

Your PC needs a jump. You need to put on socks, rub your feet on carpet while walking around a room then touch the motherboard to give it the jump it needs. If there's no shock, repeat until it works.

Why don't you take it somewhere to get fixed? It sounds like you might be wasting money just changing random parts...

My old PC did that for like two years before the MOBO failed. Very infrequently at first, then gradually more and more often towards the last few months.

Could be worse. Your PC could be 14 years old and running Windows XP.

You check your CPU thermals? Sure you aren't overheating? Sounds like a possible heating issue if it does it when you try to play a game. If so taking off the cpu cooler and reapplying some better thermal paste could help.

Also possibly bad stick of RAM. You running multiple sticks? Try playing with just one stick in at a time and see if it continues to do it. If it does it with just one of the sticks, problem found, if it does it with both or all (dunno if you have 2 or 4) then it's not the ram. If you are running multiple sticks I doubt they'd all be bad.

I mean it could be a bad mobo, process of elimination though.

the one benefit of taking it to a tech place is they can test to find the issue without you having to replace parts that aren't broken to find the issue (if you don't have spare parts to substitute) but you just have to deal with them trying to con you into fixing stuff or upgrading crap that doesn't need it and pay them inflated prices for doing very little.

Positive. I've been checking them whenever I (try to) play a game and they're fine.

After going through a normal troubleshooting process I suppose the last possibility is that you put together a unique configuration that isn't compatible, chances of that are infinitely small but I figured I'd still throw it out there.

Maybe once it gets up to operating temperature something is swelling to the point at which a thing that shouldn't be touching ground does so.

Just mentioning weird things that come to mind, I personally think that one of your parts is just bad and you haven't found it yet or you're experiencing thermal shutdown and aren't clear on how to diagnose it.

He bought a fucking prebuilt and is trying to diagnose it himself rather than have them actually fix it.

And he seems to be wasting a bunch of money, too...

Eek, I didn't read the thread completely.

Yeah, I wouldn't be wasting my time or money troubleshooting if I had issues with something I paid extra money for some supposed expert to assemble.

I'm really not understanding why he doesn't return it to the builders and let them fix it. That's like the biggest perk of getting a prebuilt.
