I was playing destiny 2 for about 4 and a half hours today and during my play the PC just now shutdown and there was a small spark coming from the GPU but i could also have possibly been the mobo as t was in that general corner.
My specs are:
I5 7600k
Saphire rx 480 8gb
1tb WD blue hdd
120gb SSD sandisk
an Asus b150 gaming pro mobo
and a freezer 13co Cpu cooler
Psu is a corsair vs550

The PC instantly rebooted and appears to be working okay but I dont really trust it so i have decided to keep it off.

Any help is much appreciated many thanks,
Oli

 
Solution
Could it have simply been the LED trace path lighting flashing to indicate some information related to the shutdown? I'm not sure whether that is something that motherboard might actually do in such a situation though.
