CPU self-shut down no BSOD

[TrainNutter]

Hi,

 

This has happened a couple of times when playing Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v4.5 and flying the PMDG777-300ER on a long haul flight 

 

my computer just turned itself off with no warning or BSOD and I have a couple of theories

1. GPU Failiure

2. GPU Stack Oveflow (I know that CPU stack overflow is a thing and a GPU is bacicly the same thing but “tuned” to graphics) as the usage varies between 95 & 100% usage

3. It shut down to protect the CPU from damage 

 

with point number 3, I rebooted the pc and downloaded a temperature monitor and found that the CPU temperature was varying between 93 & 106 (Max rated temperature is 95*C for my CPU). 

I have attached a screenshot of the Critical Error from Event Viewer

 

Specs

AMD Ryzen 5 2600

MSI Radeon RX570 8GB Armor OC

MSI X370 Gaming Plus

16GB Corsair Vengence LPX (1x16)

WD Blue 250GB M.2 SSD (Boot)

Seagate Barracuda Compute 2TB 256MB Cache (Secondary Drive)

Cooling

3 Case fans (2 Intake & 1 exhaust)

Stock AMD Wraith cooler

Side panel is taken off to increase airflow (It’s an acrylic one and it has a Cooling fan mount so air can escape anyway 

 

Thanks,

TrainNutter

Does this happen very often or only while playing video games? This could be related to the temperature as you said. If temperatures rise and cause this then you may have to improve the cooling system and all that leads to better cooling ...

Yes this just happened again just now. Twice. When I rebooted the 1st time, everything was normal (except event viewer but same errors) and I tried to update my graphics drivers, the software wouldn't load (1st try) and then it Hard-shutdown, When i rebooted for the second time, it booted normally until when trying to load Windows, it came up with a black screen (this bit has never happened before).

 

I tried reseating and replugging the GPU power cables and then it could boot so my only theory is that my Graphics card is failing.

It's 550W

It's 550W

And the model?

As the PSU is more likely to be the culprit in my opinion.

Although the CPU is overheating if I read correct?

It's a Corsair CX550 PSU 

 

And yes, CPU overheat may  be the issue, however, the 2 crashes I had today were only running chrome and that's it (and a small handful of tabs)

ok the issue is definately CPU overheating. It did the crash again whilst video rendering. I'm going to redo the thermal paste tomorrow
