sorry if this is the wrong forum.
recently I have had power issues with my pc. what happens is when I start up a game I will get to play it for 5 - 10 minutes maybe and it will shut off on its own. I checked on all of my plugins and they seem to be fine. I haven't overclocked my pc so I don't think that it is that and I bought a psu that was over 100 kw more than the required for my pc. if you know what could be causing this please help. thank you!
Please post all your PC specs and games you play during these interruptions so we can make better assessments.
all right here they are.
