PC just simply shuts off, no warnings. It happens when not gaming as well. Sometimes seconds after booting. I’ve removed all fans that could be causing shorts. Tested without USBs plugged in as well. Changed PSUs. Nothing… Tested the memories as well. It’s not overheating. How can I fix it? I’m desperate
Deserved for playing dbd
How you tried another power outlet / power strip? If it’s not overheating then something going on with your power then most likely.
Looks like a bad psu issue. check event viewer. I’d also try it with the on-board gpu if it had one or another one.
specs?
Is there really no way to see this kind of shutdown log in Event Viewer? I thought unexpected shutdowns like this usually get logged under Critical or Kernel-Power events.
Go to event viewer and see what critical events occured
Smell your psu, if it smells burny, could be on its way out.
You need a higher wattage power supply pal
Could also be a bad surge protector if you’re using one, or way to many things connected on your circuit supplying power. I did see you mentioned trying a new power supply so unless it’s way undersized I don’t see that being the issue.
Do you have an NVidia GPU? My computer was doing that and I DDU’d the NVidia GPU drivers, reinstalled, and the problem went away. The new set of NVidia drivers aren’t great this go around.
Id reset cmos and reset rams and gpu since it traveled, rexmp your ram.
download whocrashed? and post report.
Reseating/removing all but one stick or ram, reseat the CPU. Plug the CPU fan on another header (will cause warnings but should be fine if you set up properly on bios, try all of this.
Does it also hapens if you let it hang on bios screen?
I swear I was having this issue as well and I tried everything. Replaced thermal paste on CPU, thermal pads on gpu, reseated ram, everything. My one friend suggested reinstalling windows and I shit you not, it fixed it
Check if the PSU gets unusually warm in one spot.
Also check if this coincides with long durations of high power consumptions like gaming, and not just idle or low-intensity stuff like web browsing.
If both are true your PSU likely has a defective capacitor that overheats when under stress and eventually stops doing its job.
Hmm, I see you’ve tried threathening it with a knife already, if that didn’t work…
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again
Edit after reading further
Try to re-seat the CPU and RAM. There are various issues that can cause random shutdowns and it is usually related to the logical systems of the components.
It’s also possible that your windows may be corrupt, you might have a Bios power setting that’s out of whack, or one of the ram sticks, the CPU, or the motherboard itself might be bad.
I was having a similar issue not long ago. For me it was that my gpu was overheating but giving no warning. The edge temps which most monitoring softwares report at GPU temp was fine. Almost chilly. But the hotspot temps were randomly spiking deep into the 90s and probably into the 100s faster that HWinfo could refesh. Drove me nuts diagnosing until I just thought to sanity check the temperatures again. Repasted my card and everything’s been rock solid since. Just something else to check maybe.
Looks like psu. Download occt, test 3d adaptive.
I’ve rma’s multiple evga 1300 gold psu’s.
Did you try bios reset?
Also diagnose with one stick of ram and different slots.
And check your ram + motherboard + VRM temprature from hw monitor if they are not on msi afterburner
I know you keep saying you got a new PSU, but this is a PSU issue.
I had a pc with this problem, it was the motherboard chipset overheating.
changed the motherboard and the problem was gone.
Completely disassemble your PC and rebuild it again. Then try step by step. First only CPU in. then one RAM Stick and so on. Do you have a friend with a similar build? You need to test your components individually to circle in the problem. It kinda sounds like a PSU problem, had t aswell with the new RTX3080 back in the days. It just killed my PSU and it got worse every day.
Looks like it’s the PSU (a new one can still be faulty), or the plug you have the PC plugged into.
My GF is also experiencing this.
I swear it has to be something with windows.
Where I work, A client was going through the same thing. nothing in event viewer other than kernel panic 41, which is just a meaningless error say ” Oops, windows shutdown wrong”
Ran prime95 with Furmark for like 45 minutes without any issue, but playing a game and it can do this 3x within 5 minutes and happens with multiple games.
This is a power delivery issue, either PSU, faulty power plug or motherboard, this is not a software issue
If it’s your CPU, and it’s a 13th gen I9 or I7, update your bios.
There were power management and compatibility issues with the way they tuned voltage configs.
Took them a couple years to figure out that this was randomly shutting down PCs.
That MAY be your issue.
just turn it back on bro. You’re welcome.
Just reduce GPU voltage to 90-95%. Almost always the case that it is the GPU voltage.
Did you replace all the cables when you got the new PSU? Definitely seems like a PSU thing though. Could be faulty.
What’s your ram situation? If you’re running in XMP turn it off and set it to a stable clock. Somethimg similar happened to me
Does it shut down in BIOS if you leave it in there for a while?
if no
Does it shut down if you use a portable drive to run a linux distro for a little bit?
Do you have a different PSU you can try?
Overvolted perhaps? If it’s not a heat or weird bug issue, it’s probably power draw. Which sucks cause that probally means your PSU is not enough for your system…
why is there a knife there? is the pc held hostage?
Are you sure that surface is nonconductive?
Put a cardboard box under the motherboard
*UP IN HERE! UP IN HERE*
Have you tried updating your BIOS? Cause this was happening to me and this fixed it
Run pc, he has a knife
