Are you using a stock intel CPU cooler? One thing to check before ripping your hair out troubleshooting other things is to check that. I've seen so many times where one of those was incorrectly installed and the computer would shut off after a few minutes. This is normal, just the cpu/motherboard going past a thermal threshold and shutting the pc off to avoid CPU damage. Check each of the 4 posts of the cooler, everytime i've seen an issue, one of the posts wasn't in all the way.

If you go into your BIOS, go to the temp monitoring page and watch the temp while it's on. You should be anywhere from 20-40c on the cpu while in the BIOS. Anything higher that, you'd probably be seeing thermal issues with any load on the cpu.

Hi. The temps are averaging around 40 degrees celcius. When watching youtube and the computer turns off anyway so probably not an overheating problem. I have a hyper 212 evo cooler. The pc is clean inside no dust buildup. The gpu temps are also ok at around 35 degrees celcius. I haven't tried the windows analysis so I'll try that now see if it comes up with anything

Hi. I turned the pc on and left it in the bios for like 20 minutes and it didn't turn off. CPU temp kept constant at 40 degrees celcius. Now I'm running the PC and it seems fine for now. But I still don't know what the problem could be.

Hi. I left it in the bios, the temps were 40 degrees celcius constant. It didn't surprisingly crash which is good :) But I still don't know what the problem could be.

Okay I'll try that. For now I turned it on, went into the bios for about 15 min and it didn't turn off , and from the bios I went to normal windows and it seems fine. Do you think that the second gpu might be failing?
