Computer shuts off randomly!!!

[sonic72391]

HELP!!!!!!

 

Problem: Every 2-7 hours my computer will shut off randomly without any error message what so ever. I play a game called "arma 3" and its pretty intensive and the crashes happen there mostly there. I have some problems with electricity in my house and how it flows in some cases some plugs do not work for some reason. I have talked to Microsoft support and checked if it was os side rather then hardware side but it was iffy and could not be determined. I have also checked my watts for my psu and calculated if I had enough and I did but will let you guys decide. I have checked every plug on my computer and they seem to be fastened tightly. Here are my specs...

Keep in mind I have checked for drive errors and stuff like that but I just need to know if its a hardware of software problem before investing money in repairs or new parts

Get +150W for a 980, VERY power hungry, and combined with Arma 3 you'll get a lot of power being used. I suggest upgrading to 800W

What are your CPU temps at when it crashes? This is usually an indication of either a bad OC (usually gives a BSOD, but sometimes not) or thermal protection.

650w is plenty to run his system.

If you've got power issues in your house, you need to get that out of the equation first. 

Plugs outright not working could be a very serious problem.

 

Trust me, your computer will run a lot worse when it's on fire.

Yes, getting Speedfan or an equivalent program would help if the temps your pc it thinks it should run at that it's making it blue screen.

It stays at like 40 Celsius without load I will check in a sec for load temps 

 

 

[Skiiwee29]

Yea, if you dont already have it, I would recommend using either CoreTemp or Realtemp to monitor temps and fire up a CPU stress test for like 10 minutes such as Intel XTU or Aida64 and see where your temps spike out at. 

[sonic72391]

Its weird that my gpu without load runs at like 50 to 60 Celsius

What's your case? You may not have sufficient cooling so that's why your whole PC is getting hot. Maybe your power supply is even getting super hot and shutting down because of poor cooling. Just a possibility.

Define r5 

[Skiiwee29]

Doesnt sound like thats the problem WSAD, It could be his house power as well sending either a momentary surge or something. If thats the case, i would also recommend maybe getting an UPS to put between the wall and your equipment to help keep them on in the event of a surge that would otherwise knock you offline.

Thats a good case, that can't be the problem then.

Are you saying I need to improve on my spelling and grammar

I'm saying you say shit alot. And yes, you should test your GPU after that's done.

[sonic72391]

The peak was 60 Celsius it was sitting about 55 to 60 most of the time it passed without any shutdown 

[sonic72391]

Well the gpu was going to 75 Celsius and my computer shut down. I tried turning it on but it would automatically shut down so its a temp problem but I don't know why it goes that high in the first place.

[sonic72391]

Any suggestions why this is happening?
