Hello everyone,
As the title says my computer will power off randomly when gaming. It as if someone completely pulled the plug and there is no restart. I have done several things so far to try and solve the issue but I am at a loss at this point. This is my first build but I have had one of my friends who helped me take a look at it and he was also unsure of what was wrong.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Replaced the PSU (3 times with 3 different PSUs)
Replaced the graphics card
Replaced the RAM
Reinstalled Windows 10
Replaced the cooling fan
Reapplied thermal paste (had someone else double check to make sure I did it right)
Flashed the BIOS
I was monitoring my temps before the shut downs and everything seems good (60-90C when gaming). I have had this issue shut off during Fallout 4, Warhammer: Total War, World of Warcraft, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry Primal, Rocket League, XCOM 2, and League of Legends. I have two monitors and it seems to happen more often if I have a video up on my 2nd monitor, although it happened last night and all I had up was Facebook.
The power offs have become less frequent since I have tried all those things to fix it but it is still happening once or twice a week and I am finally running up the white flag off surrender. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
