My computer completely shuts off

[Masterchops]

My computer completely shuts off when I start playing Max Payne 3 and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games. By shut's off I mean everything literally stops as if somebody pulled out the power cord to the power supply. I looked at Event Viewer and it comes up with one critical error, the ID is (Event ID 41 - Kernel-Power) 

 

If my hunch is correct my Power supply is faulty. I have no tools to check my Power supply so i'm out of luck if that's the reason why my computer is randomly shutting off when I play those games  

 

Do any of you have any idea's of what I should do?

I would say PSU is bad, or something isn't connected right or at all.

Is anything overclocked?

[Enderman]

Nothing is overclocked.

Nothing is overclocked and i'm using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. I got my specs right as I turned on my computer so it wouldn't be hot at all.

I'll double check all of the connections.

Everything is connected correctly. 

 

With all of this double checking going on i'm now in need of a new PSU it seems. Any suggestions that aren't EVGA and something not bronze certified?

I love my Seasonic G Series one  its 80+ gold.  The Corsair CX  Line of power supplies are also very solid.

I would rather solve the issue than just ignore it and have it come up again later down the road. 

[Masterchops]

I don't know if this is relevant or not but when I run Star swarm stress test with D3D it shuts off my computer, but when I use Mantle it runs perfectly fine. 

 

Ideas? I would like to know if this is still relevant to the power supply or not.

Run the star swarm test again in d3d and touch your gpu's heatsink with your finger tip until it ko. If it get too hot to maintain contact for 3 secs you got a heating prob. Otherwise it is a psu and worse a bad card

A Corsair TX or RM PSU would be a good start.

[HannahLewis]

Be Quiet PSU's are good bang for your buck, trusted for their quality, bronze certified and do their job perfectly.

I did as you said and I could easily hold my finger on the heatsink until my computer died. At this point in time I think i'm going to buy a new PSU and go from there.

Quite a lot of bad psu popping up on this forum

Yeah it's a bummer I feel sorry for people that son't have the money to replace the parts that're malfunctioning. 

 

Side note, just bought this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CJChvqPlib4CFa5DMgodzXUAqQ&Item=N82E16817151132&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-N82E16817151132&ef_id=U0yLjgAABAiicW3S:20140501033334:s
