my computer turns off unexpectedly

[echy]

i use my computer for like 3030-40 minutes and then the computer restarts unexpectedly causing it to shut down then start back up again.. this happened four times already. Any idea on how to solve it?

[Skiiwee29]

Depends on the cause. Most common cause is you're either overloading your Power Supply, or temps on your CPU are hitting thermal limits and your system is shutting down to protect itself.

Without knowing the Hardware, the only thing we can tell you is to replace the computer with a working one.

 

FOr more  we need to know the exact components you have, including the Power Supply.

LTT guru's this must be the PSU uh ?  Some more info on your rig would help greatly.

my cpu in task manager is using 5% does that still mean the cpu can still overheat?

[Stefan Payne]

Why always the rather low end EVGA PSU in such a nice build?

Tough the Memory you have seems to be shit as well...

 

Is it  a prebuilt?

How many fans?

well i have two of those rams sticks for 16gb, is it still shit? 

i have one fan for the case, one inside the psu, two inside the gpu, 

i built it myself, i didnt know what i was fully doing

 

in actually using the computer as we speak.. i dont know when it will shut down unexpectedly like it has been doing

Yes, far too low frequency for ryzen, you loose 10-20% Performance with DDR4-2133 vs. 3200.

What Case exactly??
What Fan??
There are Cases where you don't need no fan (or rather can't use them), there are cases where you need them.

That's when you should have asked people who know, before buying it...

If they know a bit or two about building PC, they told you to spend a bit more on the Memory and also get a better PSU...

 

But can you make Pictures of your build/setup??

its pretty cramped down there in my desk

i should have gotten that ram

the fans are just the ones that came with the parts

i also asked a lot of questions just could cover them all i guess

which psu do you recommend? 

 

 

[Stefan Payne]

pls do away with those awful extensions/adaptors.

 

ANd does the PSU fan spin? Doesn't look like it does on the pic...

[Aimi]

Not sure if it's related to the issue but you should really clean up that PC...

i dont think i can get rid of the extention adaptors becuase its part of the psu... i think that only with low end psu's that you have to leave the extensions in...

and yes the psu fan spins

i havent cleaned it with thoughs air cans, i will try to invest in cleaning supply's

Talking about the PCIe power cable plugged in to the graphics card. Looks like some sort of adapter you're using. Should plug the PSU directly in to the graphics card, no adapters/extensions in between.

You got lungs haven't you? Huff and puff and blow that dust out.

 

But it looks like the motherboard 24pin isn't fully inserted. Try reseating the cable and make sure it's plugged in fully.

my lungs arent that strong lol, im not using extentions im just using the cabels that came with the psu.. there was no other option to plug it to the psu to gpu.. this was the only way. and the motherboard 24pin is fully inserted

I would have to agree with @Spotty here. That is definitely not fully seated.

here are my some temperatures

It's not all the way in. I can see the gap between the connector on the motherboard and the top of the cable connector.

It's the side with the detachable 4pin bit, so it's possible that the 20pin section is fully plugged in while the 4pin extra bit is not fully plugged in. There's a little bump that locks the 20+4 sections together. If you still have trouble with it, might help to put the 4pin section in first and then plug in the larger 20pin section.

It should be plugged in fully, flush up against the connector on the motherboard. Yours is sticking up about 3-5mm from the motherboard connector. Might not be making proper contact and could potentially be the cause of your random reboots.

i think you guys are right, the thing is is that is super loose, ima see if i can get it in more deeply

you need to do some maintenance first (assuming everything is fine),

check bios version for updates,

clean every parts of PC. take apart & reassemble.

 

if it still fails, try to borrow a psu, then mobo

pls unplug the 24pin connecor and look for burn marks on the Connector.

After that, connect it to the Board again. NOt just shoving it on there....

its the 24 pin i cant get it to latch onto the latch on the the 24 pin port from the motherboard.. therefore its super loose
