PC randomly turning off

[TehJim]

So in the past few days my PC has occasionally been turning off, this is meant as if the power was cut instantly, no notification of windows telling me that it needs to shut down.When it does this, I just have to power the PC on again.

My PC is overclocked to GHz and my voltage is at 1.5000

These are my System specs:

AMD FX-9370

Gigabyte 970A-UD3P Motherboard

AMD Sapphire R9 280X 3gb OC 

Corsair SPEC-01 Red

1TB Western Digital Green - Kingston 120gb V300 SSD

EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze

Corsair H100i

Many thanks

I haven't tried that yet, will do

What is in your Windows event log?

[AresKrieger]

Possible causes I can see, PSU failing, power surges in your area, a short in your motherboard or one of the other components or as someone else stated instability due to OC. Hopefully it is the last one as the others are problematic to test, and or fix.

Just checked it and it says there was a Critical event within the last hour with a source of Kernal-power

Not sure what this exactly means

Sounds like a power issue, either unstable overclock or bad PSU.

Its probably the Overclock, ill tune down the power usage and clock speed
