I want to start off by saying that I'm amateur at best when it comes to computers so if you're kind enough to reply to this post keep that in mind.
So I've just done my first build and the computer seems to be running great except for the shut down problem that continually happens. So I've been playing Shadow of War, before that Witcher 3 and after about an hour the computer will shut down and this has happened almost every time I've played lately but the weird part is I played for about 4-1/2 hours today and it ran fine the entire time? But then later in the day I got back on and sure enough it shut off again after about an hour, then if I turn it right back on and try to play again it will shut down in like 20 mins.
I know this definitely seems like a heating issue, at least that's what I've read on other threads but I'm monitoring my temps with Cam software and they seem reasonable. The max temp either the CPU or GPU reached is 60'c and it's still shutting down and most of the time they're not even that high when it shuts down unless the software is giving me false readings. One more thing I'd like to mention is like I said I built this computer from scratch and I didn't touch the BIOS. I've made all my fan settings through CAM so if this could be a problem let me know.
The Specs:
Intel i7-7700k Kaby Lake / Kraken X62
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti (Asus Rog OC Edition)
MOBO - Maximus IX Code
Ram - G.Skill 32GB Ram
PSU - Corsair RM1000i
Thank you all in advance if you can take the time to help me out with this.
