PC instant shutdown

Elektro8 · November 17, 2016

hi
So i have this problem.
I was playing a game, subnautica to be exact and then all of a sudden my PC shutdown.
But problem was that he was still running , fans were on Led lamp were on.But he was like dead.So i tried to do a shutdown via power button.But no response.Tried that a few times, but nothing happened.
So i fliped the switch off on the PSU and then on.
Turned him on, and it works normally now.
Could you give me you opinion on what could have happened?
My spec:
CPU:FX -8370 Wraith Cooler
GPU:RX 460

Mobo:Ga 970 Gaming Gigabyte
SSD:120GB Sandisk
1tb HDD toshiba
Thermaltake 530W 80 PLUS

What is the PSU? Can you be more specific and provide the model number?

Elektro8 · November 17, 2016

I cannot give you the specific numbers.
But I think it's this one http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001783

I mean i'm using that PC right now, while replying to this topic.
I guess i'll have tog get new one maybe.
But what is so strange to me is that, how why power button gave no response at all.

I'm with deX, the most likely is that the PSU isn't working properly but check on your temps to see if there is a problem there, but if that were the case the computer would be shutting down every once in a while or freezing.
