As the title says, my PC Seems to be (Only recently) Shutting down during intense gameplay.
This started Yesterday, my first (Quite Long) session of Fallout 4, a quite demanding game i might add. So i was playing for quite a while, at least 3/4 hours, when my PC just completely shuts down. No warning, just turns off straight away.
So i feel my case and sure its pretty hot, but the temps i recorded when i rebooted didnt seem to be too high for my components (Cpu ran under 70 Celcius at all times, and the gpu rarely went above 80).*
After this, I installed a GPU stresser (FurMark) and ran it for 20 minutes or so with no issue with stability. I then looked the issue up and someone said it would be wise to check the PSU, which i did. I used OCCT and selected the PSU tester. During this test, around 10/15 minutes in, the PC did exactly what it did when playing FO4 and completely shut off.
A last thing to add, I had to manually switch the PSU off then on to actually get the system to reboot.
tl;dr:
- PC shuts down during demanding programs
- PSU has to manually be turned off then on for the system to reboot.
- Any advice/Tips?
Thanks in advance, any help is apreciated.
