Okay so for the past month or so after a while of gaming my PC will sometimes shut off unexpectedly without any warning. Has happened several times while playing Witcher 3 this week.
After monitoring my temps my GPU highest it gets is around 68 C 99% load.
My CPU peaks at 73 C with 91% load.
This is really annoying me, I'd appreciate any help!!
SPECS
CPU Intel core i5-3570K (stock fan and heatsink)
GPU MSI GTX 970
MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt MS-7751 motherboard
16 GB DDR3 memory
PSU Seasonic S12II 620W BRONZE
UPDATE:
I realized I did something really stupid... I guess must of mixed up my monitors 120v cord with my PSU's 300v cord. Switched them and now am going to do a test and see if it still crashes. Will update with results.
UPDATE 2: Well I played Witcher for about 2 hours and didn't have any issues so far. If it happens again I will be back with another update
UPDATE 3: Installed new CPU cooler and still happening
