Computer Randomly Shutting Down!

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x

GPU: Gigabyte 3080 ti

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5, 80+ GOLD 1000W

Ram: G.SKILL Trident Z RGB Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 1.35V

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO-P

 

What happens: When gaming my PC randomly shuts down, usually on Minecraft (I run over 400 frames) it shuts down but after I have capped my frames at 165 it does not shut down anymore. Today, when I was playing Elden Ring, I sat at a grace and went afk for about 20 minutes and came back to a shut down PC. Keep in mind that on PC, Elden Ring caps your frames at 60.

 

When the PC shuts down, I lose video input and there is no sound but the RAM rgb stays on.

 

Do you think it could be faulty RAM since the lights stay on but everything else stops? Or could it be a faulty PSU? Or maybe a faulty Motherboard?

Well, I'd first make sure your RAM is properly seated in the slots - take it out, firmly click it back in.

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

Could be all, but I don't think the LEDs on the RAM are a sine they often stay on as long as the RAM gets power... The LEDs on my ram even stay on when the PC is in  standby...

I have found a solution! I just can't play games while the air conditioner is on (it draws a lot of power plus I live in an apartment).
