Hello everyone, i have a huge problem. My pc randomly shuts down during gaming and id like to say that i dont think the temps are the problem, they were pretty high before but ive already cleaned the pc with an air compressor and reapplied thermal paste. i got like a 15´C drop on gpu and something like that on cpu too. so i dont think overheating is the problem 1 or 2 minutes before the shutdown while playing my temps were like 60C on gpu and 40 on CPU. not sure if this information will help but i played League of legends. Could this issue be related to a software problem or a virus or something? i await your response

Well i forgot to mention it but i already changed my psu 3-4 days ago, the old ones fan wasnt spinning at all, even on heavy load, the new one works just fine so i really doubt that is the problem
