I have made multiple threads about this issue with my computer and I'm hoping this will be the last. My computer has been shutting down randomly for a couple weeks now. I have tried a new psu and motherboard but with no luck. I originally had a evga 500w psu then bought a corsiar cx750W thinking that i needed more wattage. After the problem continued I bought a new motherboard to try and fix it. After the shutdowns continued I bought another psu at best buy to make sure that the motherboard wasn't at fault. After installing the new psu (TR2 600W) my computer worked flawlessly for a whole day. I played witcher 3 and some hearthstone with no problems. Today I was watching netflix and my computer shutoff. I'm so frustrated because everything I try doesn't help.
These are the other things I have already tried.
- I factory reset my computer and reinstalled windows 10
- I have checked all connections for my computer multiple times and everything seems to be in connected properly
- I have tried different outlets and other surge protectors with no luck, (I even tried at my parent's house with their outlets and I still had shutdowns)
- I monitor my gpu and cpu temps and my cpu sometimes reaches mid 70's while gaming and have already ordered another heatsink to try and lower. However If i can play witcher 3 all day and it doesnt crash but then the following day just watch netfilx and have it crash I do not think heating the cause of my shutdowns
- I have performed stress tests on my ram and gpu with no problems
- I have tried isolating ram and even removing both rams but It has still shutdown
I don't know what to do anymore. I am thinking of maybe taking it somewhere to see if a professional knows the problem but from what i've heard and read there are many times where they dont really know and they just suggest its a virus or something. The shutdowns are random but if I keep turning on my computer after a shutdown it will progressively get worse to where my computer will not turn on for more than 10-15 seconds. There is no blue screen just an instant shutdown and when I check the event viewer the shutdown is marked with kernel power 41 or something similar I'm not 100%. Thanks in advance to anyone who has input or is trying to help, here are my pc specs:
AMD fx 6300
Radeon r9 270x (saphire edition i believe)
MSI 970 gaming motherboard
current cpu is TR2 600W but I filed a warrantly claim on my corsair because I thought that was the problem and should be getting a new one soon
8gb ddr 3 ram (stock ram that came with computer)
