Hi
I have had my rig for almost a year now.
Recently i have been playing Overwatch and Total War: Warhammer.
While i was playing overwatch one night my PC suddenly turns off. It doesnt shut down, it turns off like my house had just had a black out. My screen goes to power saving so i know i we havent had a power cut. I go to turn my PC on and it boots up, i start it is safemode as it detected a power cut. i reset and all is back to normal.
Next day i am playing Total War and the same thing happens. I do the same things as before and it boots up again. An hour later while playing i notice my computer is running quite hot, GPU at 94c CPU a steady 50c. I stupidly panic thinking that my GPU is going to break everything and i just hold the power button and turn off my PC, i then leave it for about 20mins and try it again. This time my PC does one fan rotation and powers off about 5-6 seconds later tries to boot up again and does one fan rotation and powers off, this happens until i turn it off at the back power switch.
Worried i think it is the GPU i unplug it all and try and boot. My PC boots up this time but without a GPU i dont have a display. On my mobo it goes thorugh a lot of codes and finishes on 34 my MOBO is a Asus Rampage IV formula. Still thinking that it is my GPU that is the problem i ask a friend to bring his round. I plug it in and my PC starts up, goes to bios and then boots windows. i restart 3 times while downloading the new AMD drivers that i needed for the new GPU. Once the drivers downloaded it asked for a restart. My PC restarts and boots up fine, lasted 5 seconds and then just turns off like a power surge.
The problem i had before with the old GPU plugged in happens now. I thought the problem was the GPU now it looks like something else.
Im not amazing with computers so when you guys suggest things im sorry if i ask you what something means.
