So I just recently purchased a custom built PC just under three months ago, although I didn't choose all the parts, and sometimes when I'm playing some games for a while it just shuts off. I've looked at loads of threads with similar situations with the consensus typically being overheating or a faulty PSU.
I've monitored the temperatures, with HWMonitor, of the CPU & GPU and I don't think they go into excessive temperatures which leads me to believe that isn't the reason, although on the other hand the problem's becoming more prevalent with Summer now starting, particularly today which was hot. At least I'm pretty certain it isn't the CPU, I ran prime95 for 20 minutes and it never went above 60, but maybe that's naive?
I really have no idea how to determine whether the problem is to do with the PSU. Is there a something I can do, other than trying another PSU because I don't have another one, to determine if it is the source of the problem?
I've also tried to check the event logs to see what happens before but there's nothing there, just a critical event telling me that there was an unexpected shutdown at that time, but no actual event shows at the corresponding time.
Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.2 GHz
GTX 1070 Windforce OC 8GB
AB350M-HD3
Enermax ENG650AGT
Corsair Carbide SPEC-ALPHA Case
Idle Temp.
CPU: 31
GPU: 38
Load Temp.
CPU: 51
GPU: 70
I've got no idea what the problem is, any help would be greatly appreciated.
