I built my computer two years ago. It has been running silky smooth up until now. Just recently, it has started to randomly shut down. At first, it would do it during gaming. Then, just idling at the desktop. A few times I successfully was able to log in and navigate Windows for awhile before shutting down. Now, I can't even get to the login screen before shutting down. I can idle at the bios it seems like indefinitely.
I checked the temps at bios and that doesn't seem to be an issue (27-30 C). Fans seem to be operational. PSU fan is working and exhausting air. I was hoping it was Windows, so I created a USB boot drive and tried booting from USB. I was just going to do a clean system wipe (all files are on a separate drive, SSD is used just for critical apps and games) but the system shut down when I tried that as well.
Does anyone know what I should do at this point to single out which component it might be? Here's the build:
MSi Z170A motherboard
i7-6700k
16 gb memory (Crucial)
Nvidia 1080
SSD
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 Power Supply
Enthoo Pro Series Full Tower
Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK 140mm UFB (Updraft Floating Balance) CPU Cooler
