Over the past few months my pc has started crashing a lot while gaming (valorant and Fortnite.) it’s 6 years old with an amd 1600 and a rx570. I’m worried the GPU is going bad. I would just upgrade it if I knew that’s the case but what I can I do to actually find out what’s going on?
check your thermals, test your ram with memtest. try running cinebech (cpu heavy) and checking for crashes or a gpu benchmark like UNIGINE heaven to see if stressing individual components makes anything happen. if you still cant figure out what is wrong try a new power supply. a failing power supply will have you looking in all the wrong places. sometimes replacing it with a new unit solves everything.
