Hi everyone,

I have recently ran into an annoying problem where my PC will randomly shutdown while gaming. Most games run perfectly fine it seems to be the more graphically intense games such as Final fantasy 15. The shutdown will happen randomly sometimes I will play just fine for a while and stop playing without issue. The PC completely turns off (instantly) then proceeds to reboot without showing me any form of error message.

Specs:
Windows 10
i7 4770 processor
8GB RAM
GTX 970 Grpahics

If you need any more information please ask.

Thanks

Sounds like an overheat problem. GPU Failure would likely show a graphical error before the reboot. I would check your thermal paste on your CPU and make sure your cooler is set correctly. If the problem persists try a new PSU.
