Is My CPU Failing?

Asked by TechieTom123
Lately, my PC has been crashing occasionally, especially when I'm playing games for more than about 20 minutes. I've reapplied thermal paste and checked both my RAM and temperatures, but I can't figure out what's causing the issue. I'm starting to think my CPU might be failing. Any thoughts on what I can do?

If I were you, I'd be looking closely at your power supply unit (PSU). If it's new and rated for 750 watts, that should be sufficient, but you still need to ensure it's able to handle the wattage your system requires. Have you checked that?

Make sure your PSU is a good quality one and providing enough power, but also keep in mind other hardware issues could be at play here.

What CPU and motherboard do you have? Knowing the specifics can help diagnose the problem. You mentioned you've got a Rog B650A and a Ryzen 5 7600X with 32GB of RAM, right? That's some solid hardware!
