PC randomly shutting down under load

Spooky_the_ghost · Mar 16, 2016

Hello all, my pc is randomly shutting down while under load, mainly playing the Division, the Temps have been well within normal range, 35-37c using an aftermarket TT air cooler. It drops from playing to a black screen, then boots uo like I just turned it on. Here are my specs:
AMD FX 8350
As rock fatality 970 performance
G skills rip jaw x 8GB
GeForce gtx 960
Rosewill Capstone 550W 80+ gold

It can be the power supply most likely. I recall the Capstone being a solid unit. However, even good power supplies can fail, even the best. If not the PSU, the motherboard, but PSU is usually the culprit. If the PSU is under warranty, return it for a new one.

Thats what I'm thinking as well, my buddy has a near similar setup, but a 700 psu, I'll try upgrading. It's been in a computer for like 3 to 4 years now

3 to 4 years sounds like it could well have met its fail time. You got decent use out of it.
