Here are my specs

Cpu : i5 8400 stock cooler

Motherboard : Gigabyte b360m-d3h

Ram : Adata premier 8gb ddr4 2400mhz

Gpu : gigabyte 1050ti windforce oc

Case : thermaltake versa n25

Psu : thermaltake litepower 650w

 

The Pc shuts down randomly when using it even when not under load. First it happened when playing Dota 2 right near the end of a match (the pc had been running for 8+ hours) then it did not restart automatically. I powered it on and it shut down after 2 seconds.

 

I had already encountered this before so I knew I had to change the ram slot (worked before) and it worked fine. Then it happened again. Just to be sure I overclocked my gpu and ran far cry 4 and witcher 3 for quite a while and everything was fine, then in dota 2 near the end of a match it shut down again.

 

After that it has shut down 3 more times when browsing. I have cleaned cpu heatsink, the entire pc, the fans, the gpu but it keeps shutting down by itself.

 

In msi afterburner cpu temps were at 40 C most of the time, the gpu fans sit idle under certain temps so they are usually at 50 C but they were working fine as i have a custom fan curve set so afterburner runs that whenever I start it.

 

I am aware that the PSU is not very good but can it be something else? I have had this PC for almost a year now. Could it possibly be a bios problem? I have even tried several ram slots (my mobo has 4) but it still persists.
