Hi, I've had my computer for a few weeks now, maybe a month or two... i built it myself. I had some issues when building it, it simply didn't turn on or came on and then turned off very quickly after. However after returning the PSU and replacing it, managed to get it to work well. However today I have had some problems with it randomly shutting down while gaming. It then sometimes instantly comes back on but sometimes doesn't. I'm thinking a part may be faulty due to the fact that if it does not instantly turn back on; if I nudge it or sort of move it a bit It will just turn on (and sometimes just turn off again straight away...).
For now it has only turned off during gaming. I have checked the temperatures the second before it has turned off and they seem OK (but I am not 100% sure. The GPU was at about 60 degrees Celsius with 100% fan speed. The CPU was at about 50-60. ). Any advice on what to do next? As you may have been able to tell i don't know very much about computers and so advice things like updating the BIOS (not even sure what this is) would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help.
(PS: I have only tried with the game CS:GO but I will try some others and see if they have the same problem now.)
