Alright, I started out a year or more ago with this problem, pc shutting down when gaming, back then, this was my setup:
A10 6800K
R9 280x 3gb
12Gb or Ram (2 sticks bought in a kit, 1 separately, myght be of different speeds, which I know is bad)
MOBO: Idk I don't remember but it supported APU's of course
KCAS PSU 600w
2TB WD HDD
1TB Hitachi HDD
120GB Kingston SSD
Stock Cooler
First off, I thought the problem was the mobo, so I took it to the guy where I bough it, it said it was old (I had that mobo for around 3 and a half years) so i bough a G1.Sniper.A88X, it worked for a while but not for long, I noticed getting considerably less FPS so I thoguht it was the GPU, and for the moment, it was, while playing the witcher It made the PC shut down in the forst minutes of playing, so I tested it with another GPU, I had an R7 260 for emergencias so I subbed it for the R9, It didn't turn off, while using the R9 I noticed that If I played games like Osu!, or other 2D Games, it wouldn't shut down at all, so it was definetly a PSU or GPU or heating problem, fast forward some 6 or more months, all of those are replaced as well, Thermaltake 600w PSU, GTX 1060 3GB (Which used only 8 pins instead of 16) and a EVO 212 CPU cooler, I was happy for the first hours after installing the new psu which was the last thing I installed, but then, boom, shuts down again, no blue screens, no warnings, nothing, all shut downs up to now have been like if the I had a power outage in my house, then I think, "Hey, the CPU is the oldest in the build, maybe it's time to switch it up" So I get a A10 7890K, test again, shuts down. Alright, I say screw it, maybe it0ll fix itself, I start getting blue screens, great! now at least I know it's a hard drive now over the next months I kept reinstalling the OS to the SSD because it would stop detecting it, which made me thingnk it was the SSD's fault, alright, no SSD then, I take the SSD out of the system and install the OS on one of the other hard drives, shuts down, maybe reinstall it, shuts doiwn, maybe the otherm shuts down.
Today I got a 400c Corsair case and a brand new 1TB WD Blue. It shut down again.
Now, the energy in my house is great, it doesn't have any problem, I even had the power box thing replaced to make sure it wasn't a problem.
I don't even know anymore, the last thing im missing to replace, are those 3 4gb sticks, and I'm completey out of budget, it'll take some more months for me to get new ones and if that doesnt work, I don't even know what to do anymore. I've also tested having only 2 sticks of ram in instead of 3 because I'm not sure the 3rd onw is of the same speed and if that is causing the problems, PC shuts down as well.
Up to now my setup has changed almost entirely except for those RAM sticks
GTX 1060 3gb
A10 7890K (Dual graphics with a decent GPU? yeah I'm an idiot)
G1.Sniper.A88x MOBO
12gb HyperX Ram
EVO 212 CPU Cooler
1TB WD Blue HDD
Corsair 400c Case
600w Thermaltake CPU
What do I do? I'm just a damn student, I don't wanna spend anymore money on things that will not solve the problem. There's days when I can play the Witcher 3 for hours and the PC won't shut down the whole day, and the next day it shuts down in the first hour, it's unpredictable.
Right now I'm thinking, maybe it's a faulty MOBO, maybe it's old RAM, I DON'T FUCKING KNOW.
AAAAAAAAAH
