When I start to play a game my pc shuts of at a random time.Temps are normal on my Cpu and Gpu so I don't suspect that. I suspect the problem to be my psu. I kept my old psu to save money when I built my new pc and I don't know if it can supply enough and that's why ithe keeps shutting off.

 

Pc specs 

I5 6500

Gigabyte h170 gaming 3

8gb of Corsair Vengance Ram

Xfx Rx 480 8gb

430 watt Evga Bronze rated psu 

 

EVGA doesn't sell a 430W Bronze-rated unit, however they do sell an 80 PLUS rated unit and it's pretty mediocre. It wouldn't be a bad idea to replace it with an EVGA GS/G2/GQ/B2 or Seasonic M12/S12

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
