PC shutdown while gaming

Shnideer · Jul 31, 2017

So, My pc started shutting down for no reason.
I didnt change any part of my pc , first i started checking temperatures my cpu while idle is at 30 and gpu at 33-40 , while playing cpu around 60 and gpu at 73 , i think its good temps so i checked my PSU and started a stability test ,

my pc specs are

Intel i5 6400
RAM Gskill 8g
MSI geforce gtx 960
MSI H170 gaming M3 motherboard
PSU Corsair VS550
1TB hard disk
120g Corsair SSD

Normally speaking. Random shut downs like this during load indicates a PSU issue or a overheating issue.

Since it doesn't appear to be a overheating issue. I would test the PSU with a voltage tester under load. See what you are getting.

Other then that, if PSU is good. We can drill down into mobo. However, I'd rule out the common causes first.

Just note that troubleshooting a PSU can be difficult. They can do very weird things like work just fine until it research a specific current or voltage then fail or a wiring issue etc...

The best test is to swap it out with another working PSU and try to replicate the problem. But that suggests you have a spare to test with.

Yes, but like I said. Software cant find all issues with a PSU. It simply tests for common issues.

That doesn't completely rule out a PSU issue.

Hope that solves your problem, good luck!
