Good day, Tom's hardware!
For about a few months now, my system completely shuts down when I am playing games. If it's in idle mode, it will run smoothly. My first solution is that maybe it's an overheating issue. But I already monitored my CPU and GPU's temps and it does not go beyond 70c, yet, the problem still persists, that is, system completely shuts down (not reboot or anything but shuts down). So I was wondering if this maybe caused by a faulty PSU. I need your opinion about this before I purchased a new PSU, or maybe I miss something. Here are my specs:
PSU: Silverstone Strider Essential 80+ bronze 500w
CPU: i5-4460
GPU: GTX 950
I have my pc for about 11 months now making me think that the PSU is already dying because of the demands of my cpu or gpu (?). Thanks in advance!
