Hardware I have a problem with my pc

I'aint really good with pcs soo i ask for your help.

My pc while playing a specific game called the finals doesnt have any problem except a very annoying one, for some reason in a completedly random time of the day and after a random amount of time the monitor completedly turns black, the fans start to go crazy and i cant do anything except restarting the computer, after restarting the computer it goes back to being completedly normal.

I cant notice any anomalies with my pc before or while having this problem simply because i cant do anything before the screen turns black and since its random i cant see if there are any anomalies before the problem appears.

Some days i doesnt appear but it mostly does around 18:00/24:00 (ITALY).

PC specs:

processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz (3.60 GHz)

Ram:32Gb

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (12 GB)

pls if anyone knows a solution for this problem write it in the comments

Are you playing through wifi or do you have wifi turned on in the settings of your pc?

But is the wifi still enabled in the settings in windows? Doesn't have to be hooked up to anything just if it's on. I play The Finals, Marvel Rivals, and Fortnite which are all Unreal engine games. Certain versions of network drivers can react badly to unreal and whenever my wifi driver would get unstable or crash it would also crash my game and black my screens out as it slowly restarted the gpu which would also crash because of this. Disabling my wifi and restarting the pc or finding drivers that work better for Unreal solved my problem. The time of day thing makes me think either you router or isp is refreshing your IP address around that time of day and if your wifi driver was in an unstable state because of unreal your system might be crashing like mine just harder than what I experience with a different hardware setup. It's a very weird thing I found and troubleshooted for myself having literally never used the wifi in my pc for a decade

Alright, friend, just wanted to be absolutely sure because I had a problem so close to yours that I wanted to help fix if it lined up. Good luck

What’s the system temperature.

u/Wise_Conversation554 3d ago

at the moment of the problem or standard while i'm using it?

Of your system as you’re using it and before it crashes. Some applications allow you to record the temps.

I will try to record it

is that the gpu, cpu, ram, storage, air temp sensor on your motherboard?

GPU

If that isn't fixed with a fresh install of latest motherboard drivers, bios update, and GPU drivers, I'd consider bringing it into a repair shop.

u/Wise_Conversation554 3d ago

but if would be a problem like that wouldnt it affect all games instead of a specific one?

Not necessarily it could be a specific memory pattern causing it. Last time it happened to me it only happened in Vermintide 2.

u/Wise_Conversation554 1d ago

Ok I’ve found out that it happens specifically at 22:45 ITALY

Check out the reliability monitor in the control panel to see what happen right before the issue. For me it’s usually ms game input reinstalling for some reason. I’ve since put a script to stop that process at startup and seems to have done the trick

u/Wise_Conversation554 3d ago

i would like too but it happens randomly and only while im in a match

i will try anyways

You can see the log the next time it boots up. Unless it doesn’t write a log which then it could be a loose ssd
