Hey guys. About 4-5 months ago, my ~2 year old PC suddenly went off. No beeps no ctd no blue screen, just powered down. I was playing a demanding game and I thought it was the CPU overheating. So I reapplied some thermal paste, and turned it back on. Since then it kept going off in rather demanding games. I monitored the CPU temp and it went as high as 75 degrees Celsius with the stock cooler on my i5 2500k. Today it went off twice. First time in never winter online, second time in StarCraft 2. It hasn't started since the second shutdown. I unplugged and plugged back in, i switched the power supply's switch on an off, i kept pressing the power button, but no success. Now I fear the the power supply might be the cause. Can somebody give me a few hints? Is it the psu , is it something else? What should I replace? How to tell what exactly is the problem here?
Sorry if this is not the right category, I.m on my mobile phone posting this.
