So I've been having an issue more frequently lately of my computer randomly shutting off while doing a range of things from streaming a show to gaming. It won't let me start up unless I flip the psu switch. At the time I had a 500w. Reading about this issue online and talking with a friend we decided to switch the psu thinking maybe it had gone bad. Luckily we had a 600w laying around and tried that out. When switching and trying it out it managed to finally run things on high very well for a while only to start shutting off again. I really figured after what I read that it would solve my issue but now I gotta think it's something else. Please let me know if you've heard of this and if there is anything we can do to fix it! Thanks so much in advance!
