Random Shutdowns

cometic · January 18, 2017

I think I might have this problem isolated to my power supply, but I thought I would come on over here and hear your thoughts.

While under a load of any sort - even just in the UEFI settings, my PC will randomly shut down. My system will stay powered on for a matter of a few hours at a time, or as little as two minutes at a time.

I have gone as far as to reinstalling my graphics drivers, pulling my overclock out, re-seating my RAM, and checking all of my cables once more for loose ends. My thermals are normal, with my CPU running at 60c, and GPU at 82c under load. I have also sent in an RMA request to Corsair.

Specs are in my signature, but here they are anyway. I just want to make sure I am headed the right direction with this.

Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5

Liquid cooled CORE i5-6600k @ 4.5 GHz (1.375v)

GTX 1070 Founders Edition

16gb Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4-2666

128gb Intel 600p NVMe SSD

Intel TS13x AIO Water cooler in push/pull config

2x 120mm fans, came stock with my DIYPC DIY-F2-O case. I have them installed in the front of the case as intake fans.

This isn't really my area, but I would recommend you try a different PSU. It's a lot of rewiring though... are there any new components, or anything that you changed near the time this started?

No, I have not added anything since I finished it. I am going to see about stepping up on my wattage too, from 650 to 750 just to be safe.

Yeah, sounds like the PSU, as someone who has plenty of experience over current-ing their PSU's. GPU look a bit warm though, how's your case airflow?

The reference cards (like any of the founders edition nVidia card, for example) usually run a bit hotter. I have two 120mm fans in the front of my case as intake fans and I am running an Intel TS13x liquid cooler in a push/pull configuration in the rear that helps as an exhaust. This brought my card temps down from 84c under load - I know, not much of a gain. Anything at or below 85 is a safe operating temperature for the card.
