Good afternoon, I have a Ryzen 5 8600g and an RTX 5060. Recently, I've been having problems with demanding games, causing the PC to restart during gameplay, and I'd like some help. I'll give a chronological order of some facts to analyze:
About a month ago, to avoid replacing the motherboard, I bought an RTX 5060, which worked perfectly until about six days ago; I could play for hours without problems.
About seven days ago, I downloaded Zotac's FireStorm, and a day later this problem started. As soon as I opened a demanding game, the computer would restart.
I uninstalled FireStorm and used DDU to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers, and it started working normally again.
Yesterday, a new NVIDIA driver update appeared, I installed it through their app, and the problem returned, with one difference: now it stays in the game for a while and then restarts, about 30 minutes.
Do you think it could be the drivers themselves or some collateral damage from the lightning strike that only appeared now?
