System keeps restarting when gaming or working with Blender 3D.
So, I recently switched to Bazzite from Ubuntu. My system specs are:
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
RAM - Corasir Vengeance 16GB DDR4 RAM 3000MHz
GPU - RX 580 8GB Nitro+ OC Edition
Motherboard - ASUS TUF B450-Plus Gaming
PSU - Antec HCG 1000X 1000 Watt
For a while now i have been facing black screen idling or static screen issues. Whenever i'm gaming or rendering, 3 out of 5 times the screen randomly goes black and the system is unresponsive, but i can still hear audio through my Bluetooth headset [video / YouTube audio / game audio respectively] at which point i am forced to hard restart the PC, but it doesn't start immediately. I get one long beep and three short beeps, indicating a RAM issue, however if i let it cool off a bit it starts just fine. As for the so-called RAM issue, i swapped slots checked each RAM card individually yet the problem persist.
I thought it was a cooling issue so so increased the fan, still the problem persists. I kept the cabinet open so cooler air can circulate much more easily, but till no change.
I even assumed it was a GPU issue, so i cleaned the card and refitted it making sure the cables are tightly attached, yet the problem persists. One thing to note the GPU is quite hot when the system crashes.
I don't have the means to upgrade the system at the moment and surely don't want to upgrade if it is fixable. How do i diagnose and rectify this once and for all.
Please help me.
