System specifications
OS - Windows 8.1 professional
CPU - AMD FX8350
Ram - 16 gb Ripjaw 2400 ddr3
GPU - Asus 4gb 7850
PSU - Cooler Master GX - 750W
MB - M5A97 LE R2.0
Heat sink - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooling Fan+Heatsink
The machine has been well dusted out within the past month, the thermal paste on the gpu and cpu are new within 4 months. I've been monitoring temperatures on an off chance, the GPU has never gone over 50C, nor has the CPU. The Heat sink and fan for the CPU is well seated, as is the fan pair and processor on the gpu.
It doesn't happen with every game, just ones with serious power draw - See Star Citizen/Fallout 4/Elite dangerous/ and it does not do it immediately, hours can pass playing around in these games before it shats itself.
Doubtful it's the power cord, have exchanged it with all of the roommates and had them load up similar. Only thing left is either a fault in the motherboard (which is somewhat unlikely) or the power supply has something wonky going on with one of it's rails.
Any suggestions folks?
