Computer randomly shuts down under load

[Thermite]

I have a really powerful computer in a lian li tu200. I know that it can get hot inside sometimes, but the temps never seem to get too high. But still there are random shutdowns. I was playing a computer game a few minutes ago and it just froze and then my headphones started playing static and the screen froze as well. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I know that my computer has a high enough wattage power supply as it is a 1000w psu. I also looked into the windows event viewer and all I saw was the report that an unexpected shutdown occurred.

Mine keeps doing this. I think its windows 10.

I guess it could be I do have windows 10 installed. Maybe I should boot into linux and run a stress test to see what happens. Hopefully it doesn't crash.

Are you overclocked, maybe it is not as stable as you think it is?

[Enderman]

look at windows event viewer and look at what caused it to shut down

nope stock speeds

look at windows event viewer and look at what caused it to shut down

the only thing it reports as critical is the power down. It doesn't show anything else. Would it be in another category?

I use Windows 10 and I've not encountered this issue (thankfully).

Perhaps you should get a program that shows your temps and watch them as you do something on load or run a stress test just to make sure that it isn't your pc overheating.

It happens when GPU driver not installed correctly or it may be corrupted somehow.

 

Use Display Driver Uninstaller to uninstall the GPU driver.

 

Then download the latest GPU driver from the manufacturer's website.

 

Make sure you download drivers for Windows 10.

Is this something you have come across before?

Yep, Experienced this with my Nvidia GPU.

Does the computer restart or freeze?

 

If your computer just restarts it can be a problem with your fan speed controller on you power supply unit. Had the issue with two PSU that I own; where the PSU does not give enough power for the fan to start spinning and it over heats and turns off. Figured this out after feeling the temperature of the PSU after a shutdown. Ended up RMA that PSU. Temporary fix before the RMA was to blast the PSU fan with compressed air to get it spinning.

 

Hope this helps.

I have this with my over the top watercooled machine. I have tried overvolting the CPU, underclocking the CPU, doing the same to the GPU (390x), running memtest overnight, and nothing helped. Its just windows being... windows.
