Problem:
PC will shut off completely, black screen and reboot after connecting to a game. But the problem is not consistent, it will happen right after connecting to the game and sometimes it will let me play a full game. The other day I thought I fixed the problem by disabling multicore rendering in CS:GO since I was able to get a few games in last week. I tried again today and it instant crashed again as usual. I was able to run Goat Sim just fine a week ago as well with a ton of shit happening ingame but now it crashes when the game loads ingame content. No temperatures are spiking or anything, and I am really confused on where to go from here since I have no idea which piece of hardware to point at. Also, since this problem has been around for a while, updating drivers hasn't done anything. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,

It may be just software problem. Try to delete some windows updates from past days when you discovered that game is crashing. Had this problem with some games.

And if you ran tests to stress cpu and gpu and nothing happened then it is sure that problems are software related. If you have not run it yet, do it to rule out hardware problems.

HX750 is OP PSU for your PC and unless it has some production flaw it should not be a problem.

Best regards :)
