I've had this problem on and off for the last year or so, and so far no one has been able to solve it. I brought it to a local computer shop and they had no idea, along with paying microcenter $40 to test all my hardware and they said everything was a-okay, even though its obviously not.
I believe I've narrowed it down to either the motherboard or the GPUs. Whenever I do something GPU intensive (playing the Witcher, stress testing), my computer turns off with zero warning, as though I've yanked the power cord.
The shutting off seems to be random. I was an hour and a half into playing the Witcher when it shuts off. Sometimes I can make it through 5 games of CSGO without a problem but then I'll have to abandon because my computer turns off as soon as I try to reconnect. It turns off about 10 seconds into stress testing with FurMark, which leads me to believe thats the issue. I've dabbled a bit into mining dogecoin but would that cause this problem?
I've cleaned and replaced the thermal paste on both of my GPUs. I've replaced the PSU and the CPU. I've replaced the motherboard too, with no avail, but I'm not ruling it out. My full PC specs are:
AMD FX-6300 CPU
16gb Crucial Ballistix 1600 RAM
2x Sapphire r9 270s
Corsair CX750M PSU
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Mobo
If anyone has any idea what I can do to fix this problem I would really appreciate it. I don't know what to do at this point bar buying a new computer, which is way out of my budget.
