Wish to provide the solution to my woes in this reply:

The issue was indeed the Power! Power was coming to the PC alright uninterrupted but the SATA cables needed to be tightened and installed correctly. The CPU and GPU SATA cables were in very tight bends and I found a way to not make the curve too extreme to connect to the motherboard, they clipped in, and everything worked just fine! Also I had a faulty, or rather old PSU that was 1/2 as efficient to it's 1000 watt limit. It was over 5+ years old and replacing it with a new 1000 watt PSU I believe was the real problem solver in this case.聽

Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem with my PC shutting itself down immediately whenever I minimize my video game.

So I just recently built my PC (specs will be listed at the end of the message), the PC runs fine doing normal things.

Watching Youtube, writing documents/notes, watching Netflix/Prime/etc.. It functions like a PC should.

It's when I play a video game the issue(s) occur. I can reproduce these issues at will to see if the issue is fixed, maybe hopefully.聽

1) I play Project Zomboid and it happens to be super foggy once I leave my spawn house, the PC shuts itself off.聽

2) I play Elder Scrolls Online, for the most part, 99% of the fights I experience no problems. I need to minimize the game and almost immediately my PC shuts itself off.

Me and my brother have been troubleshooting this issue and were just not sure what it could be.. this is what I know:

-The PC receives power.

-The Case's Front USB 3.0, Type C, and Audio/Microphone jacks work

-The PC is registering the CPU, Ram, and Graphics Card when I run dxdiag command.

-I'm running Windows 11, unsure if this could be a problem.聽

I'd appreciate any and all assistance. This has really been a confusing problem to navigate through.聽

Thank you for your interest and time!聽

Have you tried updating the motherboard BIOS? About 3 weeks ago Gigabyte put out an update to improve resizeable bar links and other improvements. Couldn鈥檛 hurt.
