PC shutdowns while playing games

[BugadinhoGamers]

Recently my pc shutdown while playing games, whats weird is that not all games make the pc shutdown. It only shutdowns with games like Universe Sandbox 2, Kerbal Space Program and Sonic Lost World, but it doesnt with GTA V.

 

Specs:

FX 8320e Stock

Gigabyte GTX 960 4gb Stock

2x 4gb Patriot DDR3

Coolermaster 550w

Asrock N68-S3 FX

Nah, I'm almost 100% sure it's the motherboard. FX-8 core on a board that looks like this?

 

No way. The VRMs can't handle the CPU, that's most likely the curlprit.

that might not be the problem you don't just tell people to change something if you don't know the problem

The weird thing is that this problem also happened when i had the FX 4100.

to be honest at this point buying things to fx system is not worth it. OP save your money.

That's cause the board is shitty, really, really shitty. The CPU is powered by a 4 pin connector? It requires more.

Ryzen isn't a cheap way to go considering he wont be able to buy a new psu. I would recommend for the time being to get a better motherboard and see if it works

It should be alright as long as you don't play CPU intensive games. You can always try to underclock the CPU too

I just dont understand why it happened this week, past week it played games fine, now it doesnt (I change from the fx 4100 to fx 8320e yesterday). But thanks for the hint.

Try switching back to the 4100 and see if the same issue occurs.

It also happens with the fx 4100.

[RAM555789]

Maybe try testing with just one stick of RAM, each one in different slots both times.

It's not even close to being a decent board for an FX chip but it's better than your current one. I suggest you give it a shot (I highly recommend you, run the CPU at stock settings, disable Turbo Boost and enable all of the power-saving features in the BIOS to have the highest probability of ruling out the motherboard as the culprit of your issue).
