I have a 8700K (not overclocked), and an 2080TI (not overclocked), 7 USB 2.0 devices, 32gb 3000mhz ram, 2 x 140mm fans, 3 x 120mm fans, a D5 Pump, and a 650W Seasonic Focus Plus PSU.

 

While playing a game, after a little while sometimes 15min, sometimes 1 hour, and sometimes as little as 1 min, the computer just instantly shuts off, like some one just flicked the power off at the wall.

 

I have monitor CPU and GPU temps they seem fine.

 

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Protection in PSU can do that. So your PSU is bad or is good and something else is bad and activates PSU protection. That is my guess.

BTW. Do you really need all that fans? It supposed to be a computer, not airplane. Try to disconnect most of them and check if problem still exists.

I should have also mentioned that as soon as it does its instant shut down thing, it also immediately restarts its self.
