Hi guys, I recently encountered an issue with my PC, when i play games like witcher 3 , it works great when the ACs in house are turned off, whenever i turn on the ACs in my house it randomly turns off like lost power, any help would be appreciated
Thanks

It could be a couple of things. Either your psu or it could be a power delivery problem in your home. Ac's draw a lot of power, especially under initial load when they're first turned on which can create a voltage drop. If it's intense enough, it can cause things like electronics to go off same as if a storm caused the power to 'blink'. Is anything else affected? Do tv's or dvr's or any other electronics do the same or just the pc? Also, are you using a surge protector strip or have you tried your pc in another physical wall outlet to see if it's all the outlets or just the particular one you're using? It may be possible that your psu can't handle the variance in voltage or has sensitive undervoltage protection causing it to kick out.

Ditto on udg's comment. The pc suffered an issue yes, but the root of the problem sounds like an electrical issue in the home. Hate to even start guessing or speculating, that's going down a whole different rabbit hole. Electricity can be an involved matter and has the potential to do bodily harm and/or cause other issues (such as fires) so not really looking to make suggestions there when it involves people's personal safety. Definitely suggest having it examined/inspected by a professional. Best of luck with things.
