Hello, this problem has cropped back up from a while ago now when I thought it was a cpu overheating issue but now I have my doubts. When playing games/watching streams or videos sometimes my PC will randomly switch off and may fail to start back up once or twice before I can get back to the login screen. Windows startup repair tried to diagnose the issue but couldn't find the root cause.
I have ran windows diagnostic tool to see if there is any issue with the RAM modules but it resulted in no errors being detected. At the moment though, I don't want to rule this out as a potential issue and intend to run memtest86 soon.
I have monitored cpu temps using Coretemp while idle and under heavy load. The maximum temps when gaming are about 70 degrees which personally, I don't think is too extreme to cause these shutdowns.
One issue could be my power supply but as of yet I don't know how to test this.
I would really appreciate help in solving this problem as its a real pain
Cheers Matt
