Gaming PC crashes under load

[Kinootje]

Hello,

Recently I'm running into issues with my pc where when under decent load (playing games such as overwatch 2 or even rainbow six siege), the pc just shuts down and restarts itself. No BSOD or anything. When looking into the event viewer I see a kernel 41 issue with following keyword:

0x8000400000000002 I'm running a i5 4690k with a MSI 2070 SUPER GAMING X TRIO and 16 GB RAM DDR3 on a Cooler master g750M PSU. I fear that my PSU might be dying but want a second opinion before buying a new one. Anyone any tips ?

Update:

 

Lowered core clocks of gpu and no crashes any more during gpu stress tests.

 

Using occt, it only instant crashes during the power test now.

Did you change any power settings in OCCT? If not, it may not be your PSU. Do you know when/how old the PSU is?

Didn't touch any settings in occt but lowered all the gpu settings using MSI afterburner so I'd suspect that they get applied system wide?

 

The psu is a cooler master g750m, which is already ~7y old. So it definitely has done its work already

I would try a new PSU, and if it doesn't fix it just return it. Amazon has a pretty open return policy if you're looking for a place.
