So recently my computer has been completely shutting down in the middle of playing certain games. So far Dark Souls 3, and The Witcher 2 have caused my PC to shut off; other games like EU4 and Mount and Blade cause me no issues. Whenever it shuts off, the only way to get it back on is to unplug the PSU and replug it back in. I used MSI afterburner and the AMD Radeon driver to check the temps on my CPU and GPU which peaked at about 42C and 90C respectively. Could this be an overheating issue with something else? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

5 120mm fans should be plenty, but the temperature protection on the PSU trips at an absurdly low temp.

Make sure all of the fans in the case work. If they do, then simply replace the PSU. If any aren't turning, make sure they're plugged in. If they already are plugged in, but still won't turn, you should replace them. I recommend the be quiet! Silent Wings 3 if you have the budget for them. If not, I can track down some cheaper options.

Sorry about the delay. I'm pretty sure it's a green-label and my 390 is MSI brand
