PC just shuts down ?

[Enderman]

i have another psu here that im going to try but not a mobo

That's fine you only need one of them.

Test with the new PSU for a couple weeks and see if it happens again.

 

If it does, it is a mobo problem.

If it doesn't, it is a PSU problem.

Its fine, it will work. Just don't overclock your GPU or CPU when testing stuff.

https://www.dabs.ie/products/gigabyte-970a-ds3p-am3--amd-970-ddr3-atx-8Y95.html there is the mobo

so this is what i think it is...your mobo is "bad" thats the truth im sorry...I cant find it anywhere but i'd guess it cant even support the 125w tdp your cpu needs, so when you push your cpu it the motherboard gets overloaded, and shutsdown in order to protect itself, i might not be this, but im 90% sure its this, happened to me and took 4 months to find it lol

Im about 90% sure about this, but it'd be great to hear the opinion of someone that knows more than me, or has more experience @Enderman any ideas?

i would imagine your right.. my psu has very stable reviews but the mobo is all bad

[FuriousFing]

I have the exact same problem but for me it happens all the time when I play BF4. I have my own post about this and I really need help!

It's very likely the motherboard. There should be 0 issues with his Corsair 750W PSU.

The motherboard is probably getting overloaded on the power phases, so replacing it with a good quality overclocking board will fix this problem.
