Hello
I build a brand new pc 2 days ago. Everything worked fine, even left it overnight to download some stuff, nothing wrong. Today I decided to play some Warframe. I caranked up settings to maximum and played for about 1/1.5 hours. I monitored gpu i cpu temps and gpu was stable at about 55-60 degrees and cpu was similar. After that i alt tabed to check some stuff on web and after few minutes bam. Complete shutdown. Black screen, nothing. I turned pc back on and everthing seems fine, but Im scared sh*tless something might be wrong with the pc. Sorry If i sound paranoid but I spend everything from my savings to buy this computer. What should I do, what could be couse of this? Please help. (Sorry for bad english btw :p)
Specs:
Aorus rx 580 8gb
Ryzen 5 1600
Asus prime 350-plus

Sounds like it may be the PSU. Too small, too cheap, or both. Or just failing. Even good ones fail sometimes. Is this it?

Go thru the case and make sure all the connections are secure. Aren't under strain, pulling loose.

My next hunch would be the motherboard has an issue of some kind. Kind of hard to diagnose from afar.
 


Are you overclocking the CPU or GPU? Could be an unstable clock and crashed the PC.

I have never heard of that PSU, so it could be your PSU is junk. There are a lot of bad PSUs and you really get what you pay for when you buy a PSU. I would only go for a few brands like EVGA, Corsair, or Seasonic.

Thanks for you answers guys :)
Im not overclocking anything, and i double checked every connector, everything seems fine. Should I try gaming again to see if shutdown happens again? Could that permamently damage my components?

Unlikely. But the system shouldn't just shut down on its own unless something is defective or the PSU was being overloaded. Verify that the link I sent above is your PSU, please.

I'm not familiar with that PSU make (German?), but it appears to be a good unit, Gold efficiency rating, not a cheap one, good specs.
I suspect something other than the PSU, although we can't rule it out. Try checking the RAM seating. GFX card seating. See if you can duplicate the problem again.
Oh, and see if Win event log has any clues.
