As stated in title, my PC randomly shuts itself down while I play video games (LoL, CS:GO, Fortnite). I have updated all the drivers including the BIOS.

I recently installed a new GPU, and the shutdowns have occured ever since. The driver of the previously installed GPU are deinstalled (MSI Radeon R9 270X).

 

The Windows event viewer spits out the following numbers after each shutdown:

1101

41

6008

 

  • OS - Win 10
  • 64 bit
  • originally Windows 7, upgraded it when the upgrade was free
  • rig is ~3,5 years old
  • reinstalled the OS about a year ago
  • CPU: AMD FX 6300 / standard fan
  • GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 150 Ti Mini
  • MoBo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
  • PSU: be!quiet 450 W
  • RAM: 8 GB (2x4GB) Corsair ValueSelect DDR3-1333 DIMM

This could be sign of the PSU failing.

shutdown with no bsod?

if so its probably a hardware issue, could be psu, gpu,motherboard,ram.

considering that this started with a new gpu, i would say psu or the gpu was defective,could also be overheating, too much heat in the case with the bigger gpu
