Faulty PSU?

[cam_sally]

I just wanted to get some opinions before I RMA my current PSU or just buy a different one. My computer will randomly shut down as if it were a power outage (no blue screen). It will happen at complete random times under any load while playing CS:GO, watching youtube or idling at the desktop. Any ideas if it is for sure the PSU?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

PSU is a RM650

switch it out and see if that solves the problem.

I don't have another one

when you start again, does windows tell you that there was a power outage or something?

This happened 1 time out of many but other than that it starts normally

so this you want to start in safe mode, with network drivers or start normally doesnt appear?

If it's windows 8.1, try using a cable for internet and disable all wireless connectivity, my windows system somehow has issues with my wireless receiver and crashes at random if it's plugged in.

Also check the temperatures on your CPU, as it might just be overheating and shutting down to prevent a fucking fire.

I'd recommend getting a new psu. 650w may meet minimum requirments, but with a 780ti and core i5 under heavy load it can very well reach 650w. The 780ti can be extremely power hungry at times. My friend had a 600 w with a core i5 and 780 non ti and the psu couldn't put out enough power so he got 750w instead.
