My Pc is overheating Please Help

[Perry19]

Hi, so my pc is having a overheating issue i think. So when ever I start playing any type of game my pc will stay cool enough to play then after about 10 min it will do a complete shutdown and reboot without warning. I've been watching my gpu and CPU temps and both have been under 50 degrees Celsius while gaming and I'm still having this issue. Does anyone know what other component it could be?

If theyre under 50C i doubt it's over heating - either instability or a PSU related problem, can you list your full build specs? 

[Perry19]

Yeah I have a 500w psu from turbolink, a rx 470 armor edition, intel core i3-4330 CPU, 1tb hard drive from wd, and then 8gb of ram

Mount the HDD properly, and it's probably the PSU causing this issue

My a-10 rig had kind of the same problem every time I overclocked my RAM. Except the monitor would just go black.

 

I just updated my bios and it was resolved. Make sure you have stable overcocks, and your bios is up to date

I will give that a shot

@Perry19 As far as I can see you have a mATX motherboard which has like 2 fan connectors(that's good), no 8pin for the GPU, also no SATA power cable since you use those black adapters and there on the right bottom end there's a blue light which I guess it's emitted by another blue fan, probably connected to the PSU with another adapter. (yay)

As @Alaa said, I would suggest you mounting the HDD properly and then try buying a better PSU. Indeed it will work with all those adapters but it's better for your RIG to get a new one.

Seeing all of those adapters hurts me.

You're potentially pulling 150 watts through the molex connector. It was never designed for that.

turbolink PSU? never heard of "turbolink" maybe they dont sell in my area.

but by the lack of GPU connectors i believe the PSU might be low end generic PSU which may cause the shut down.

Thank you so much. That makes so much sense now. The adapters are pulling to much from to psu and crashing the gpu. That's why it crashes. Noted get a new power supply. Thank you
