So, I built a new computer 2 weeks ago and its been working fine. However tonight its just cutting power off and it wont let me start it up again until I unplug it and plug it back in again.

 

So, let me just say what's happened so far.

 

Loaded up CSGO, power out. Unplug, loads up fine, open CSGO and it power outs, I then load it up again and it crashes just cas windows loads up. I restart it again and everything seems fine and I start playing WoW for 5 mins then power out. Now I'm not sure what to do or what it is. 

 

I checked temps and its not overheating, CPU is sitting at 50C, GPU is sitting at around 50C. 

 

Could anyone give advice?

So, I just tested and I was about to keep the computer on for 10 mins and then as soon as I loaded CS it crashed again... So I think its something with the graphics card...

this only happened with playing cs go? Did you play any other games recently?

 

I've tried WoW and that seems to survive longer. I'll boot it up now and see how long wow lasts.

Well then If 50c isn't over heating your hardware, then I would say the gpu. Maybe try checking for updates or taking out and putting in the graphics card?

Are there any error LEDs visible on the motherboard when it crashes?

Does it crash running CPU stress tests such as prime95 or cinebench?

Was the OS freshly installed, or was the boot drive transferred from the old to new computer?

 

Try reinstalling the GPU drivers fresh, uninstall the old drivers in safe mode with DDU.

If that doesn't work, run memtest86 overnight.

Just tried updating my drivers and it got to the point where the screen blanks out and it blanked out and then the computers power cut out again... So in the morning I'm going to try my other 1080 graphics card and see if that works.

No lights show, it just powers out completely. I'll try a CPU stress test and see. Also the OS was installed 2 weeks ago and not been touched since.

That sounds like it could be a PSU issue. Do you have a spare power supply to try?

One of the only things I don't have, is there a way to check? Just a little bit more information when it happens it doesn't turn straight on. I need to turn it off at the back for like 10 seconds then turn it back on to power it on again. I just tried to do the CPU Stress test and it crashed when loading windows again.

So,  I just booted up and was able to do a CPU Stress test fine, I then opened a game and played for like 3 mins and it crashed. Going to try and do a longer CPU stress test now and see if its the PSU. 

 

Edit: I was just able to run a CPU Stress test for 5 mins without it crashing. So I don't think its the PSU. Going to try my other 1080 tomorrow.

check event viewer what it says about shutdown

It doesn't shut down... It powers off completely. I've tried checking event viewer. 

 

 

So, I tried my other 1080 and its still doing it, so I'm assuming its the PSU.
