sirbonneville

whenever i play any kind of high intensity game, my pc completely shuts off within 5-10 minutes, and turning the settings down does nothing. am i running out of power? its not the gpu i dont think, i was having that problem and i replaced it with another of the same one and it still does it

Keep an eye on your temperatures next time you play a game, use MSI Afterburner.

I would check windows event viewer to see what shut it down... to do so searhc for event viewer in windows and then go to windows logs > system  and it should show you the last shut down of your pc and the cause of the shut down, tell us what happened

stress test cpu and ram, then stress test gpu

do both test seperately

if they never fail

 

stress test both at the same time, if it shuts down = your psu is giving up

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

i use AIDA 64 for cpu and ram, unigine heaven for gpu

 

dont use AIDA 64 for GPU, it doesnt really stress it hard enough
