I recently had to take my desktop pc on a flight and am currently hooked up in an 1986 model RV when gaming on a slighty higher end game (rome 2) after about 45-60 min the pc shuts down and i cannot turn it back on unless i unplug it and disharge the excess power then it boots fine with no error any help is much appreciated its running a AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor ati radeon r7 260x 4gb corsair vengence ram and a 500w PSU works fine for everything else just under load it seems to fail rv outlets say 125v 15amp also crashes when alt tabbing out of some games


UPDATE: so i replaced the fan due to cooling issues on the CPU but it still persists i am thinking PSU is the culprit unless the RV itself is tripping the surge protection, i have also run furmark to load the gpu and cpu 100% no issues on that

Well even at full load your pc should be pulling about 5 amps from an rms of 120V. Depending on the dissipation and efficiency of your rv you maybe lacking some power consumption thus failing to provided the required amount of watts needed.

Thermaltake TR2 TR-500 500W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply is my psu and the RV is in a driveway connected to house power by a 10guage rv extension cord i think i may have found the issue i checked temps while in game and looks like cpu is hitting 74c very quickly could that be the problem?
