Computer Randomly Turning Off/Rebooting

ryan91079 · May 17, 2016

Hi, I finished my first build last weekend and it runs fine and all, just a bit of a problem with some high end gaming. Of course I picked the nesscecary parts to do high end gaming, (specs below) and they work fine for about 30 minutes inside GTA V, and then the system will randomly just turn off. Sometimes it reboots automatically, sometimes it just powers off then I have to flip the switch twice to make it able to come on again. I need a solution to this problem ASAP, thanks!

CPU: AMD FX 6300 6 Core Processor (With Stock CPU Fan)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 4GD
RAM: 4 GBX2 Ballistix Sport
PSU: EVGA 500W Power Supply
OS: Windows 10 Pro, 64 GB Licensed
HDD: Seagate 1 TB HDD + 1 TB External Hard Drive
Motherboard: Asrock 970M Pro 3
Case: Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case FBM-01

Thanks!

Ok so the Pc is restarting itself.... you may need to get new drivers or fix the pc internally by reinstalling drives because sometimes it will restart because of a Driver power state failure

Probably the poor power supply , the low end EVGA models made by HEC are poor quality and unreliable.

So there's no fix to this involving me not buying something?

Shutdowns are usually power related , but can't say for sure , but that PSU sure doesn't help.

So I mean is there a solution to this, or what?

I have his problem too, an Antec pc that were are using for my school club keeps rebooting and doesn't go to the boot screen. So i am really not sure what to do

Does it shut down/restart off only when gaming? Your CPU could be overheating causing the system to shut down/restart.

I just found out that my cpu pins are broken :l Well that could also be a problem too

Yeah it doesn't happen when I use the computer regularly, like on the internet but when I run GTA, for example, it crashes in about 30 minutes. Any solution to this without buying something expensive?
