I was having random instant shutdowns with my setup for the last 5 months during normal desktop activities, gaming/full load was fine. I decided to start upgrading my system by swapping my PSU.
My old one is an "beQuiet Straight Power 600W 80plus Gold" and got the "Seasonic 650FX Focus Gold 650W" 2 days ago.
Desktop activities, like browsing, watching movies and so are working without any problems, no shutdowns. However, during gaming, my GPU shuts down mid gaming. The rest of the system still works, as I was able to still use discord. The game stopped too.
I did some stress tests in FurMark without any problems. The GPU was at 100% (Powerlimit was at 100% too) load and at 69°C (83°C VRM Temps).
Then I tried some Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and it crashed at Ultra Settings after some time. After the 3rd attempt and reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, it also passed the benchmark somehow and the games were running flawless again. Hours later, the same problems started again. Crashing ingame.
My specs are the following:
