Computer restarting without BSOD while playing certain games, is my CPU cooked? Or is it something else?

Question

Specs: Radeon 6750XT, Ryzen 5700X, asrock killer sli x370 mobo

Not sure why it has been doing this, my cpu I had just gotten months ago new. But it started when I got my radeon 6750XT + 5700X components (installed roughly same time) and then updated to Windows 11.

Answer 1

Hello,

These crashes are related to memory corruption and are probably caused by a driver. You can follow these below articles to find the driver and memory leak which is causing you this BSOD.

Ensure that your BIOS is up-to-date. Sometimes, BIOS updates can address known issues and improve system stability.

Since the issue seems to be related to the processor, try updating the chipset drivers and video card driver. If that doesn’t work, you might need to reinstall them.

Memtest is easy to use and is an accurate test of your computer memory. It can tell you if your memory is bad, a motherboard slot is bad, etc.

Memory problems. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/memory-problems/21c3f63f-f570-4522-b2ef-ecc7b7ff6461

Once you find the faulty drivers you can then update or reinstall the specific driver to rectify this issue.

Best Regards,

Hania Lian
