I recently completed my first PC build (specs below) for gaming & running Autodesk Maya. Everything had been going really well until I tried doing some test renders with Maya. Even with very simple scenes on decent rendering quality, the computer shuts down unexpectedly. Doesn't POST either.
This is the only way I've been able to recreate the problem as well. A friend suggested it might be either my PSU isn't strong enough or CPU overheating issue? I ran realTemp_370 and stressed the cpu to 100%. realTemp reported all cores were up to 100 degrees centigrade. But I still didn't get an unexpected shutdown.
I'm at a loss for what to do, any help would be appreciated.
