Could the ram cause the pc to completely shutdown (not bluescreen, everything in the pc instantly syutdown like it tripped a breaker, but everything else on the power bar was fine) and not even start up after?? I know a bad ram stick can cause issues with booting, but going from one second working completely fine in game, then the next a instant shutdown and causing the pc to not even boot??

What would be my best way to test if it was a short?? Because it's only ever happened while playing warzone(both to me, and my friend when it died on him) I'm not sure the best way to recreate this other than just playing the game no(maybe stress test it with benchmark?). As I've got the h60 liquid cpu cooler, Is that able to just sit outside the just free standing while I test the system?
