PC Shutting off randomly

[DxRalph]

Hi all,

 

Ive had a very strange issue with my pc recently. It will be completely fine for ages, I can play normal (not too intensive games) but as soon as I play something intensive, such as RDR2, i will play for a while and then all of a sudden my pc will completely shut off. I will then only be able to get it to turn back on once ive unplugged it completely and left it for a few seconds. I have no idea if this could be the PSU or my new 3080. If anyone could help that would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

What PSU ? Sounds like an usual issue with PSU either being too low wattage or too transient-sensitive. Did you OC the GPU ? Is it connected with separate cables for each connector on both GPU and PSU ends ?

Its a Seasonic 850w 80+ Gold. I didnt oc the gpu, i only have an oc on my cpu. It did this months ago and then stopped doing it until now. I do have separate cables for each of the 3 connectors

I looked at the reliability monitor and got this:

 

 

does that help at all?

Bought somewhere before or around 2018 i assume ? Replace it, that's known issue. Try to tune down the power limit to reduce crashes in the meantime.

How would i go about tuning down the power limit? Im sending it off for RMA. Do you think theyll provide me with a better unit? Any ideas on their normal turnaround time on rma's? Thank you agian for all the help!

It's possible. You've most likely received pre-2018 version which is very unlucky, if you'll receive post-2018 version or maybe a new rebranded revision - Focus GM that might fix this issue.

Using MSI Afterburner (it's not only for MSI).
