I have been experiencing sudden shut downs with my computer lately that only happens when gaming. (Skyrim Special, Just Cause 3, Civilization 5) For a while it happened rarely, now its happening frequently. Now sometimes it suddenly shuts down when I launch a game. I have to flip the switch on the power supply to get my computer to boot again. One time it would not even boot after that and started flashing lights off and on rapidly as if it was starting to boot but didn't have enough power. Of course I really have no idea why it did that, it just seemed that way.
I assumed that it was either a problem with the power supply or the surge protector as when I plugged the power cord into the outlet directly it went on to boot without issue. I have since replaced the surge protector with a new one and had no problems for while. But now just recently these random shut downs have returned and not even connecting it to the outlet directly helps.
My computer components are not even that old. Less than a year ago I replaced the cpu, ram, gpu, and psu. What could be my problem? A failing power supply perhaps? The last time I had shut downs was due to an overheating graphics card that got replaced. My new one rarely goes beyond 60 Celsius. I've even observed the temps right before a shutdown. Neither the graphics card or cpu was overheating. I also wonder if it could have anything to do with my new ssd. The problems started after I installed it. But not immediately.
Well, thanks for reading about my problem. I hope I can find a solution as I really want to get Kingdom Come: Deliverance soon. Here are my computer parts. Good day.
