When the system is ready, the components and the power supply usually fit well together. A defect can only be excluded by an exchange or a checkup by a specialist, or when the computer beeps.
- Check the error message of the crash in the event log. This can already give you information about the cause.
- Uninstall the graphics driver and reinstall the latest version.
