So I am running the following:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H mobo
CPU: Intel 3570K (not OCed)
PSU: Seasonic SS-1050XM
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM (4x4GB)
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 (was EVGA GTX 670 FTW)
I've had intermittent issues in the last month or so with my machine shutting down without warning. To be precise, it turns off immediately - no BSOD, no apparent software crashes.
Last week, I purchased both GTA5 and SOMA, and tried playing them both, and I couldn't play for more than several minutes without the computer shutting off again. What's more, the computer would not power on without me unplugging the machine and waiting 5 or 10 minutes.
I figured it might be a GPU issue, so I replaced my old EVGA GTX 670 FTW with a newer EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0. I booted up SOMA and was able to play for about 90 minutes or so before the computer crashed again.
I don't see my GPU rising above 80°C.
In general it happens when running games, but the following have caused the issue too:
-Ctrl-Tab out of SOMA, then going back into the game. The very second I did this it shut down. (old 670)
-Furmark fullscreen. I was only able to get this to happen once. (old 670)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
