Hey!

So I was playing Witcher 3 And my pc randomly shutdown and restarted, no bsod it just booted normally, so i open the game again, when the game loads it turned off again And rebooted, so I tried to open my browser And did it again. Is my Psu failing on me? I tried smelling the pc for a possible burnt smell but nothing.

My specs

Cpu: e3 1231v3

Mobo: H97 Plus

Psu: CX600

Gpu: Gtx 980 Hybrid

Ram: 8gb 1333mhz blu

Thanks a los for taking your time to read this.

That PSU will restart itself if it gets too hot. Likely it is your PSU yes.

Any overclocks on your system?

It probably is an issue with temperature then, can you test the PC with another PSU maybe?

At the moment, nope but tommorow ill get a G2 750w. I just hope Is not the gpu. Did the other guy solve his issue?

I'm gonna say it's like a 50/50 that it's the PSU. If the G2 solves it then we know what the problem was!

I'll tag @ionbasa so he can join to try and help as he's a smart fella

 

In case Is not the Psu, what else might cause random restarts?

When you mean rebooted does Windows reboot as if someone told it to restart naturally or does the PC shut down and turn on again?

It shuts since everything Is off for like 2 secs then fans And lights turn on, then it display saying "asus detected a power surge etc, turned off to protect your components, then takes me to the bios.

That could be an electrical issue because of your house. Can you plug the PC into an outlet elsewhere?

Ill try but my pc, monitor And speakers are all connected to the same powerstrip, but only the pc shuts out of the 3.

Well, until the PSU is replaced I am out of ideas.

My first bet is bad PSU. As of recent I've been noticing a lot of Corsair and EVGA PSUs are failing for whatever reason. I had an EVGA 750W come DOA on a build I did for a friend recently. If it's not the PSU, then its either the Motherboard or GPU. You could test the GPU in another system and then do process of elimination to figure out what component is bad.

Eh EVGA doesn't make the PSUs themselves (neither does Corsair) so the consistency is likely for a specific model. The Seasonic and Super Flower units are pretty much flawless in construction so it's likely you just got one of the occasional dud units.

Ya I've been reading that CX units are failing left and right.

Well yes, the CX fail because people put them in systems that create too much heat. Check out the Corsair CX topic in my sig :)
