PC shut down under load

[Church M Tryhard]

My pc which is a amd FX-6300 on a MSI MB(think its a 760ga or something) with a 750TI SC ACX. doesnt run hot has issues when playing (and its only 2 for now) just crashes the pc then goes straight to sleep mode. i have actually changed the power options to never just to make sure thats not the issue. so when im playing these games my head phones keyboard and mouse lose power first then the screen blacks out then to the "no signal input" and my Power light blinks.... sleep mode... my drivers have been down graded and re upgraded to what they are suppose to be. im lost. my next option is a full rebuild.

What wattage is your PSU? It might be shutting off the computer due to too much current draw.

As it has been said it may be the PSU.

And are you running OC'ed?

[Church M Tryhard]

well PSU is actually a first ive heard im actually not entirely sure i think its a 500w but as far as OC'ed no nothing well except the GPU but no volting and not very OC'ed i will look into it though thanks ill test that tonight with my GF's psu i got her a overkill build with 0 issues course me being cheap and want to try and go cheap and make it better may have cheaped out too much on my psu

There are rules on PC Building, One is never cheap out on a PSU because a cheap PSU can cause massive stability issues and even total system failure by frying everything.

 

Always go with a brand that is trusted and have great reviews. 

 

Anyway hope you get your problem get sorted

[Church M Tryhard]

[Church M Tryhard]
