Since I got this new PC, I noticed that while playing heavier games at higher resolutions, the PC would eventually turn off. It turns completely off and then turns on again. windows event viewer registers Kernel Power error 41 which, afaik, isn't really helpful since it wouldn't register a mobo shutdown as a different event.
After doing some digging I decided to run stress tests. GPU is working mighty fine at full load, however when using prime95 I noticed that while CPU temps didn't reach above 75 celsius, the VRM sensors were registering 94 celsius (that's when I stopped the test) in HWINFO.
Not sure how to proceed from here. I'll still check the psu with a multimeter but is that 94 celsius temp for the VRM good? It seems extremely high and i decided to stop the test until I get some answers on this. Could not replicate the turning off problem during those tests.
PC Specs:
Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz 24 °C
RAM
16,0GB Dual-Channel Corsair
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z170MX-Gaming 5 (U3E1) 34 °C
Graphics
SONY TV *00 (3840x2160@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (Gigabyte) 32 °C
Storage
447GB SanDisk SDSSDA480G (SSD) 42 °C
931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1SB102 (SATA) 42 °C
Case is a carbide air 240
While i'll get a multimeter and measure the psu outputs, could this be causing the shutdowns? Am I missing something else?
While we're at this, those HD temps are in idle. Should i be worried?
Many thanks!
