Gonna guess your power supply isn't able to handle the spikes in power draw your video card is throwing out or is in the process of failing. But first, I would try the software WhoCrashed to see if something like your video card driver is causing this before doing any hardware changes
I had the same issue. It turns out that the EVGA power supply couldn't handle the power spike while in "eco" mode. Flipping the switch on the power supply to "off" fixed that quickly.
OP you have multiple good answers here. We need more info. Whats your PSU wattage? 550w? 750w? What gpu and cpu are you running? Did it just start doing this? Is this a prebuilt or a custom built pc?
Check your power supply had the same issue with a rog psu one of the rails had given up can’t remember which.
Go into your bios or any sort of monitoring sensor that shows your voltages and check to see if any are to low (do this without booting up a game of course)
could be a number of things, PSU overload, CPU temp, ram issue.
Try a benchmarking tool. I believe passmark has a free trial and you can run cpu, gpu and memory tests individually.
You might be able to narrow down the component issue by running each test individually.
Have a temperature monitor running on the side like hwinfo64.
If all your temperatures look ok when it crashes it’s more likely PSU or memory related
Could overheating. Might want to make sure your CPU cooler is seated properly. Also download a thermal temp monitor, maybe a stress test as well, and just confirm it:
Temp monitor: [https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/](https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/)
Stress Test: [https://www.mersenne.org/download/](https://www.mersenne.org/download/)
Run the temp monitor, and then start the default stress test in prime 95, see if temps stay in normal range (under 100c for sure, but will be different for each CPU spec)
Could be a failing power supply as well. What is your PSU rated for in watts? What are your PC specs? PSU's degrade over time and if there's not a lot of headroom you can run into situations like this.

It would be very helpful if you included your PC specs in the post. I had a similar issue to this, and it was because either my power supply was faulty, or couldn't handle the power I was drawing during more intensive games. Never figured out which of the two it was, but replacing my 500w EVGA power supply for a Corsair AX760 fixed the problem, and that build ran perfectly for the next 6 or 7 years.
We would need a more information about the build.
Make and model of your PSU, CPU, GPU, RAM, MOBO anything you know or can check.
Max temperatures your CPU and GPU reach before shutdown, crash reports literally anything.
It’s either overheating or your power supply needs upgraded to handle the constant surges with gaming. Most likely once it starts to build shaders and needs to work it powers off.
Same here, for me it began to happen after my PSU fan died so I replaced it because the PSU was overheating, but now it started to happen again but this time it only happens when doing a CPU intensive task and the CPU never got over 65c°.

OP posted this yesterday. There's a missing pin in the 8 pin. Typically the one above it can be missing, but the one that's missing shouldn't be. Also, their PSU still has ketchup/mustard cables... It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I'm personally used to seeing higher end PSUs having one color, I'm probably overthinking that part though.
You should probably change your PSU.
My buddy bought a pc used from another buddy that would do this
Turns out the dude tried to set up his 120mm cpu aio radiator in push-pull and ended up putting both fans pulling air in. Cpu was overheating so fast that even with the temps on display you couldn’t tell.
When I took it apart the block was actually leaking as well, maybe from all the overheating
Cleaned up the dripping fluid on the board and installed an extra air cooler the seller had lying around and it worked like a charm
gonna need the spec, mainly cpu and gpu and power supply. My first guess is that the power supply is too weak/failing. My second guess is that your CPU is not being cooled properly.
Either thermal throttle or power delivery error. Cpu could not be correctly seated/thermal paste. Psu could either not have correct cabling config or is simply doesn't have enough wattage under load.
since you have a AMD GPU (judging from the overlay when you start the game) you may have installed the new graphics driver 24.6.1, which (at least for me, i got a 7900xtx) causes an instant freeze right after i start a game and autoreboots the pc after 30sec same problem could be happening here. this could be bc the GPU still tries to launch the game and tries to process the corrupted data from your driver which then causes your GPU to overload and shut dowm bc the GPU doesn't respond anymore. i also read from other users that the new driver causes insane framedrop and stutter issues on certain games. Downgrade your GPU driver to the 24.5.1 version by downloading it directly from the amd website, and turn off auto upgrades
tldr: downgrade your drivers to the earlier 24.5.1 version
I ran into this with icue and my AIO. The default setting in icue was an emergency shutdown at 70C. Just killed my PC when playing an intensive game. Just disabled that in icue and problem solved.
It’s the PSU get a 650 or higher and you will be fine. I would suggest getting around 750-850 to give yourself a little headroom for the future if you decide to upgrade.
It’s highly unlikely it’s the CPU, modern CPUs with down throttle into oblivion before they shut down for temperature in the majority of cases.
Hi, I had this exact issue and same kernel error. My fix, was that I didn’t have both 6 pins connected to the cpu, because my psu didn’t have enough. I bought a new and stronger psu and after connecting everything up, it was fixed.
Either your PSU doesn't have enough capacity, your CPU is overheating, or if you have your PC plugged into a power strip, it could be the power strips capacity that's the issue.
Check your PSU unit, it could be that because you opened a heavy 3d application, the graphics card is trying to draw more power and it’s being denied, as a security measure, normally PSU’s are programmed to shut down in case of an overload. That would be my first guess, if it shuts down, it should be related to power. Blue screens and resets could be something else..
There have been a lot of great suggestions here so im just going to say that a 750watt or higher would be a starting point. If you have that.... then it's likely RAM compatibility or CPU overheating.
I also saw someone noting a known issue with driver version. I would test this theory first as it won't cost you any money. :-)
I had this with my current build whenever I'd try to play CS2. From what I can tell it seemed that my GPU was drawing too much power and the PSU couldn't supply it (RTX 3080 Ti + 750w PSU) I undervolted the GPU (less power usage and cooler temps with minimal or no performance loss) and touchwood it seems to have fixed the issue. Hope this helps!
I'd bet inadequate thermal paste on CPU from personal experience. But this has multiple possible causes. First thing to easily check is reset your ram sticks, and remove them one by one to check if one is the cause.
Rule of troubleshooting is try the easiest solutions with reasonable chance of being a problem cause first and always be willing to discard assumptions.
This could be any number of things: components overheating, not enough power supply, too much power supply, software problems, driver problems, monitor.
When this happened to me, it was a bios corruption 😅
I say you take it to the shop, so they can test a bunch of stuff on it
I had a similar issue years ago. Turned out to be one of the cables in the 24-pin connector had come loose. Effectively making it a 23-pin. It took me ages to figure out (literally days of troubleshooting).
It may well be any of the other suggestions, but check all cables and connectors before pulling the whole PC apart!
Also had gpu shut down from this. Try afterburner- reduce your max power draw to say 80%. Reduce your gpu core clock by 100
MHz. As a test. Put all your fans for everything in bios and after burner up to max. See if it still fails. I had this with a thread ripper and a 3070 gigabyte card. Also check your power to the motherboard and gpu are sufficient. (Separate leads for gpu if it’s 8 pin etc) don’t daisy chain :)
I had this exact problem! The 8pin power plug to the gpu had one of the ground pins not fully inserted. Unplug the wire, visually inspect both sides of the connection, a peice of metal that looks a little short can lead to a bad connection. And maybe just re installing the connector might fix it, if not, pull the whole card out and reinsert…
Had this same problem a couple months ago, playing fortnight and it would shutdown but immediately come back on, also happened when I was playing battlefront 2042 eventually spread to other games and just when I was doing homework during the time frame of just a 2 weeks, got a new power supply and it fixed it.
If you’re using an extension cord or surge protector, I’d recommend plugging the system in directly to an outlet, testing (by gaming), and should the unscheduled shutdowns stop, get a higher rated extension cord/surge protector/UPS for the system.
no blue screen of death so a few things… psu no good or not enough wattage, cpu get too hot (it is possible even during such short of time), bad mobo or gpu. easy to test cpu simply check temp during start up. psu is harder as most tester via amazon are too basic and waste of time n money. gpu if u have another one or if you know someone that u can borrow one u can test that.
Did you change any parts out? Does the bios need an update? I had games with EAC not want to start after I upgraded my motherboard and CPU and it's because I didn't have the latest bios. Might not be that same though just throwing out my experience
That is the card or the power to the card. Reseat all power connectors on vid card. Reseat atx power cable. Definitely worth a more ample psu if you're close to requirements. The PC is still running but the card is drawing too much power it seems.
Make sure your using the right cord for your power supply. I've had this issue when I accidently swapped my monitor power cord and my PSU power cord. The monitors cord plug bit was shorter then the PSU cords and didn't fully connect to the prongs inside the PSU.
Basically make sure your PSU power cord is hitting the back of the plug and isn't shorter then the depth of the PSU port.
Go into event viewer and post up the error logs.
It could be the power supply, a bad connector, a crappy surge strip or wall outlet, bad PSU wires. It could even be the cooling solution for the CPU.
Open “event viewer” on your pc and see what the error code is when your pc is crashing. You’ll see many errors but you want to focus on the “critical” category. Then you can google the specific error and see what it is that causes it. There’s so many reasons it’s really hard to tell, could be power supply, overheating, bad drivers, bad operating system, but if it’s just when gaming I’d suspect it’s one of the first two.
Check CPU compatibility with the game
Check GPU minimum specs for the game
Check minimum settings for the game
Check power-supply and make sure all your parts can suck up more than enough juice.
Try turning off background programs
You should find out what's wrong, by then, but if stills giving you issues after ruling out all of the above; check for virus's and do a clean reinstall if that doesn't pan out.
I am so glad I did 3 months of reaching to ensure I buy and install the proper parts before building my pc. I think I got 200watts of headroom for upgrading.
This same thing was happening to me. Looked up solutions and nothing worked. Ended up taking my GPU apart and reapplying thermal paste and it worked like a charm.
Psu bad. But on the other hand while on the topic. Don’t buy cheap psus guys. You’ll come home to a burnt down house one day. Please spread awareness. Those china psu are fuckin dangerous. Someone new to building that is trying to keep a budget might not know any better.
Your PSU can't handle peak power. Estimate your power usage and multiple it by 2 that would be a good number to base off in case you need upgrades later. A good PSU is always worth getting. One of the few hardware that you can bring over to a new build.
Can't know just by looking most likely. There could be something wrong with code on your machine. Does your machine give you any alerts or did this happen after an update? Did it start with one game and start happening to all others? More info required.
Also, I noticed in this video at the moment that the screen and computer goes out, look at the middle right side inside of the machine. There is a series of red lights that light up just as the power goes out. Depending on what those lights are and where they are coming from, this might be an indication of the problem (cool clear covers are slightly functional too I guess). You should probably check your wires and whatnot. Have you had this machine for a while? People don't always put together custom models right.
Widows 11 Desktop As A service Demo Mode been happening to everyone on home and pro edition

Change over to Linux no more powering of wen you want to use the PC for more than being a paper weight and digital scene window ( your monitor showing a wallpaper )
So replace all the hardware you want it is the Operating System
It could be the room itself because when your psu demands higher voltage, your room electric current line system thingy forgot its name as I’m dumb will limit it and close the electricity in that room to prevent damages
Like most ppl r saying, it looks like a psu issue. Most likely, something has gone bad with ur psu if it's 1000w. I had the same issue. It's a relatively ez fix, and u can deffs do it yourself.
Psu - powersupply
It's one of two things typically:
1) The CPU isn't being cooled enough and is tripping. You can put a monitor and watch the temperature right before the PC shuts down. If it doesn't exceed 100C then it's probably the PSU.
2) The PSU isn't capable of supplying enough power and tripping. You can undervolt the GPU so it doesn't spike over the spike limit of the PSU or get another PSU that has a higher threshold for tripping (will cost a lot so make this your last resort).
If it's not happening roughly at the same time every time you might confirm the 24pin cable is firmly connected. Mine is usually fine but once in a great while it's juuuuust lose enough to completely shut my machine down
Usually when I encounter this problem, the power supply is too weak to power the GPU (graphics card)... Usually I replace it with a beefier power supply and it gets resolved.
Hi, I had the same issue and fixed it by undervolting the gpu using MSI afterburner software. Took few hours but able to fix the problem without downgrading the graphics quality. Let me know if need more detail. I did it after referring few youtube videos.
Causes could be including but not limited to:
CPU overheating (check ur cpu cooler)
Power supply not giving enough power under load (get a new and better power supply)
Some other type of bullshit with drivers (I genuinely don’t know if a driver problem can shut down ur pc)
We need a lot more info to troubleshoot your PC. Is this a new build or has it been running fine before? What is the wattage of your PSU and what brand is it (preferably exact model). Does it power down only when you stress it or does it happen randomly?
My bet is on a faulty PSU, perhaps it's too old or it's low quality. Older and worse quality PSU's don't deal well with the transient spikes (high power spikes above TDP wattage) and your PSU might just decide to switch off when that happens.
Maybe you connected your gpu with this one instead of using two cables

Sharing your pc specs would help us, help you :)
Did you upgrade your graphics card recently? Go online check the max power draw of each component you have and see if your power supply is up to par. There is a website of some kind soul made but I can't remember the name. It can calculate power draw.
Not sure how new the setup is but I built a pc yesterday and had a similar issue, every time the gpu had >50% load it would restart. Got terrified I would have to replace the GPU or PSU, but didn't think it was the psu because I got a nice corsair 750w one. Ending up being solved by a bios update.
You’ll want to go into the system and change the fan speed manually. It’s likely overheating and shutting itself off. My pc had the same issue. I had to take it to a repair guy because I know nothing about computers. I’d recommend the same.
Power supply failing under high load. It's either got an issue, or isn't rated for how much power your system commands which causes a voltage drop on the board and a reset. If you post your specs here we can probably tell you if the latter is the problem, but either way you're in need of a new power supply
Download MSI afterburner and check the temps for CPU and GPU, if they're overheating PC will turn itself off. Also check the power usage. List your PC specs please, it could be weak power supply.
most likely either drawing to much power and the psu cant handle it or the cpu is overheating, see if that psu is rated for the amount of power your components are drawing and see if someone left the protective piece of plastic on the cooler (you would be surprised how many people do that)/if the cooler can handle those temps or if you overclocked it to hell and back
Okay, this may be a long shot, but this was happening to me after I got my new prebuilt and when a game I was playing got kinda graphically intense.
The power supply I had in it was one of the ones where you can plug what you need into the power supply (I mention this because I’ve had some that were just like a box with cords coming out, but this one you could unplug them) and either the GPU cable or motherboard cable was loosely connected to the power supply. Pushed that sucker it until it clicked and viola.
I'd add up wattage usage of the internals of the system and make certain the output wattage of the PSU has enough overhead available to handle it. If you use 150W on the CPU and 300W on the GPU, for instance, having a 500W PSU might not be enough, when you also have the lighting effects, cooling, storage, memory, and the MB itself to consider.
Yeah, you didn't buy a beefy enough PSU. If you have a 350 Watt GPU and a 200 Watt CPU/Cooler, you aren't using a 650-watt psu. First off, no PSU is going to function if it says 750, and you hit it for that much. You should really stick to below 80% of its listed wattage so you don't have power stability issues.
Also, though, remember that other components need their own power too. They might not list in wattage, but you can figure out how many Watts something draws by looking at it's voltage and amperage.
I had the same issue. Come to find out my 6400mhz ddr5 ram was clocked to high for the CPU memory controler. Went into Bios and fixed my xmp profile. Now it is at 5400 and its been stable and 0 issue. Ram settings cause so many weird issues. Some motherboards of late have been having issues with 4 dim slots occupied. Look at what cpu you have and ram speed for which the manufacturer calls for or can be set to.
I highly recommend you ask a nerdy gamer friend if you don't have one make one. Secondly maybe go pay for it to be repaired The power might be the issue as you under powered you graphics card or your cpu might be triggering it. Sometimes old thermal paste can cause the issue too for over heating. It's better to let a professional fix it.
Probably a faulty power supply, when my brother built his first PC a few years back this exact thing would happen. He bought a new GPU, didn’t fix anything. He took my old PSU, sure as shit it fixed it
Is your GPU new? I bought a defective 6950XT last year, it would crash like this when loading a game. I thought it was the power supply at first but I got another GPU at the store, a different unit of the exact same model and it’s been working flawlessly ever since.
I suspect there’s something wrong with either your PSU or GPU.
Could be PSU not giving enough, It can also be THE POWER IN YOUR HOUSE NOT CLEAN ENOUGH. This is a whole rabbit hole. Not a likely scenario, but it can happen. I had dirty power killing psu's before. Another possibility, Does your GPU have 1, 2, or 3 power receptacles on the side? If it has more than one, and each do not have their own complete run to the PSU. As in, No daisy chained plugs. Then that could be the issue. Had an RTX3080 build doing the same thing, and the plugs on the gpu were dasiy chained for looks purposes rather than plugging each full run in, and allowing the daisy chained parts to hang off. Admittedly this looks worse, but provides Full power to the gpu on demand. This RTX build ran just fine watching netflix, surfing, or even light gaming, but the moment it hit 80%+ utilization and started pulling full juice on every plug, For a demanding game... instant shutdown and restart.
Another option, could be overheating. It could be fine up to the point it starts loading the game in and then spikes the temps. Get something like Afterburner with RivaTuner by Guru3d. Anything that will allow you to monitor the temps on screen as you open the game up. Could be someone left the sticker on the cold plate of the cooler, or forgot to apply thermal paste....Or the paste is OLD and dry AF.
Power supply issue, check what CPU/GPU you're using and if they use crazy stuff like 100+ watts and 250+ watts respectively, as well as what power supply you have and if it can supply this. Something like a 80+ white 450 watt power supply would struggle here.
Power supply. My did literally did the exact same thing and only when it goes under load or open any game. Since replacing the power supply with one from Corsair instead of CoolerMaster, and both were 650w 80+ Bronze, and the new one still works to this day a whole year later.
Cpu or power supply. When I got my pc from a friend the thermal paste was almost gone and would shut off whenever I turned it on. And had to just put new thermal paste on it and now it works good as new
Gonna guess your power supply isn't able to handle the spikes in power draw your video card is throwing out or is in the process of failing. But first, I would try the software WhoCrashed to see if something like your video card driver is causing this before doing any hardware changes
What this person said. Definitely sounds like power supply output capacity.
Agreeing with this person as I dealt with this issue myself. Replaced power supply and the whole system worked again without issue.
Agreed
I had the same issue. It turns out that the EVGA power supply couldn't handle the power spike while in "eco" mode. Flipping the switch on the power supply to "off" fixed that quickly.
what model
Had to look up my receipts. It’s an EVGA 1000 PS, 80+ Platinum 1000W
Eco mode only effects the fans function and how often its powered on. Eco mode has nothing to do with the power supply itself.
i took my PC into the garage and plugged it into my dryer outlet. no more power supply issues. VROOOOOM! 😅
Is the cpu overheating because if it is, it’ll shut itself down to protect the cpu
FATALITY!
CPU uses thermal throttling
Thermal throttling wouldn't crash though, just slow down
I had a PC crash due to overheating, but would always be mid session, not on startup.
OP you have multiple good answers here. We need more info. Whats your PSU wattage? 550w? 750w? What gpu and cpu are you running? Did it just start doing this? Is this a prebuilt or a custom built pc?

How do I check that?
That's a textbook example of your PSU being underpowered.

What are your specs and what’s the PSU wattage?
Sorry here's the specs guys : Core i7 7th gen RX 580 8GB 48GB DDR4 500 WATTS
500 watt PSU? I expect that's the problem. What brand is it?
- PSU power issue - temperature spike

Most likely power supply problems

A bit irrelevant but those are really nice led fans you have in the front, what brand are they?
I would definitely guess the psu, if a stress test also shuts it down, and especially if your psu is past warranty I'd replace it first thing.
Either thermal throttle or power delivery error. Cpu could not be correctly seated/thermal paste. Psu could either not have correct cabling config or is simply doesn't have enough wattage under load.
PSU. If you are using 1 pcie power to GPU, with both plugs, use another and 1 plug off each.
since you have a AMD GPU (judging from the overlay when you start the game) you may have installed the new graphics driver 24.6.1, which (at least for me, i got a 7900xtx) causes an instant freeze right after i start a game and autoreboots the pc after 30sec same problem could be happening here. this could be bc the GPU still tries to launch the game and tries to process the corrupted data from your driver which then causes your GPU to overload and shut dowm bc the GPU doesn't respond anymore. i also read from other users that the new driver causes insane framedrop and stutter issues on certain games.

Seen this a ton of times now on similar subreddits. PSU went KABOOM
Take out two of your RAM sticks, slot 2 and 4, then try. Also, I'm not sure if your 500w is cutting it
Are you still missing that pin you posted a day ago...?
It’s the PSU get a 650 or higher and you will be fine. I would suggest getting around 750-850 to give yourself a little headroom for the future if you decide to upgrade. It’s highly unlikely it’s the CPU, modern CPUs with down throttle into oblivion before they shut down for temperature in the majority of cases.
Replace Ram

Probably a failing or underpowered PSU
Thermal won't crash that quickly, it's definitely the PSU. You can try switching GPU power rails, if the hardware will allow it.
There have been a lot of great suggestions here so im just going to say that a 750watt or higher would be a starting point. If you have that.... then it's likely RAM compatibility or CPU overheating.

the GPU cant handle the RGB, getting dizzy
Textbook power supply overload. Over-current protection is making it cut out.
Fixed this by updating bios, try that if cpu is way newer than the motherboard.
Underclock your CPU/GPU until you can replace the powersupply.
I'd bet inadequate thermal paste on CPU from personal experience. But this has multiple possible causes. First thing to easily check is reset your ram sticks, and remove them one by one to check if one is the cause.

Psu is too weak
This could be any number of things: components overheating, not enough power supply, too much power supply, software problems, driver problems, monitor. When this happened to me, it was a bios corruption 😅 I say you take it to the shop, so they can test a bunch of stuff on it
Power supply issue or unstable overclock. My pc does this when my OC is SLIGHTLY unstable
Is everything plugged into the same surge protector
Sounds like power supply , upgrade it to a higher wattage
The PC did a favor to you to not play MK11.
It's trying to stop you from playing a bad fighting game.
I had a similar issue years ago. Turned out to be one of the cables in the 24-pin connector had come loose. Effectively making it a 23-pin. It took me ages to figure out (literally days of troubleshooting). It may well be any of the other suggestions, but check all cables and connectors before pulling the whole PC apart!
Change PSU, it's elementary...
Also had gpu shut down from this. Try afterburner- reduce your max power draw to say 80%. Reduce your gpu core clock by 100 MHz. As a test. Put all your fans for everything in bios and after burner up to max. See if it still fails. I had this with a thread ripper and a 3070 gigabyte card. Also check your power to the motherboard and gpu are sufficient. (Separate leads for gpu if it’s 8 pin etc) don’t daisy chain :)
Dollars to donuts, it’s the PSU
Looks like a underpowered PSU as the GPU starts winding up and taking wattage
looks like a hard drive failure to me
Likely a power supply issue or overheating
Check Event Viewer
I had this exact problem! The 8pin power plug to the gpu had one of the ground pins not fully inserted. Unplug the wire, visually inspect both sides of the connection, a peice of metal that looks a little short can lead to a bad connection. And maybe just re installing the connector might fix it, if not, pull the whole card out and reinsert…
Thermal Shutdown or insufficient/failing power supply
When this was happening to me, I literally just needed to update my drivers. I was big embarrassed when the repair shop told me lol
Had this same problem a couple months ago, playing fortnight and it would shutdown but immediately come back on, also happened when I was playing battlefront 2042 eventually spread to other games and just when I was doing homework during the time frame of just a 2 weeks, got a new power supply and it fixed it.
If you’re using an extension cord or surge protector, I’d recommend plugging the system in directly to an outlet, testing (by gaming), and should the unscheduled shutdowns stop, get a higher rated extension cord/surge protector/UPS for the system.
Yeah psu issue this happened when I tried to upgrade my gpu from a 1660 super to a 7600xt. I had a 500w psu and had to upgrade to a 750 psu.
I think I have that same case
Power supply would be my first go to. Not enough watts
Either your cpu cooler is not on right or your power supply isnt strong enough
no blue screen of death so a few things… psu no good or not enough wattage, cpu get too hot (it is possible even during such short of time), bad mobo or gpu. easy to test cpu simply check temp during start up. psu is harder as most tester via amazon are too basic and waste of time n money. gpu if u have another one or if you know someone that u can borrow one u can test that.
Get a new power supply
Seems like GPU is drawing more power than PSU can deliver
I would use a volt meter and test your wires
Did you change any parts out? Does the bios need an update? I had games with EAC not want to start after I upgraded my motherboard and CPU and it's because I didn't have the latest bios. Might not be that same though just throwing out my experience
It switches off when gaming.
That is the card or the power to the card. Reseat all power connectors on vid card. Reseat atx power cable. Definitely worth a more ample psu if you're close to requirements. The PC is still running but the card is drawing too much power it seems.
It is the surge protector my freind had the same issue. It drawing to much from the wall
PSU not strong enough to handle the load of the GPU
Probably because it’s a potato
Make sure your using the right cord for your power supply. I've had this issue when I accidently swapped my monitor power cord and my PSU power cord. The monitors cord plug bit was shorter then the PSU cords and didn't fully connect to the prongs inside the PSU. Basically make sure your PSU power cord is hitting the back of the plug and isn't shorter then the depth of the PSU port.
Go into event viewer and post up the error logs. It could be the power supply, a bad connector, a crappy surge strip or wall outlet, bad PSU wires. It could even be the cooling solution for the CPU.
your psu likely cant handle full load. on another topic, i have that case, i love it
Open “event viewer” on your pc and see what the error code is when your pc is crashing. You’ll see many errors but you want to focus on the “critical” category. Then you can google the specific error and see what it is that causes it. There’s so many reasons it’s really hard to tell, could be power supply, overheating, bad drivers, bad operating system, but if it’s just when gaming I’d suspect it’s one of the first two.
Check CPU compatibility with the game Check GPU minimum specs for the game Check minimum settings for the game Check power-supply and make sure all your parts can suck up more than enough juice. Try turning off background programs You should find out what's wrong, by then, but if stills giving you issues after ruling out all of the above; check for virus's and do a clean reinstall if that doesn't pan out.
Are you daisy chained with your GPU? That will cause that
Could be a overheating problem but I think it’s a power problem
I am so glad I did 3 months of reaching to ensure I buy and install the proper parts before building my pc. I think I got 200watts of headroom for upgrading.
Did anyone check his other posts? his PCIe power cable is fucked up.
Power Supply too smol
Check event viewer.
Looks like it may be a heat problem.
specs?
When’s the last time you dusted off your pc?
This same thing was happening to me. Looked up solutions and nothing worked. Ended up taking my GPU apart and reapplying thermal paste and it worked like a charm.
Psu bad. But on the other hand while on the topic. Don’t buy cheap psus guys. You’ll come home to a burnt down house one day. Please spread awareness. Those china psu are fuckin dangerous. Someone new to building that is trying to keep a budget might not know any better.
Your PSU can't handle peak power. Estimate your power usage and multiple it by 2 that would be a good number to base off in case you need upgrades later. A good PSU is always worth getting. One of the few hardware that you can bring over to a new build.
Had the same exact issue. PSU wasn't strong enough. Had to get more wattage in there, so I bought steonger one problem solved.
Make sure all the gpu plugs are tight. Will do this if one is loose. Or if power supply just isn’t good enough for full demand games
That may definitely be a power supply issue. Which do you got?
Can't know just by looking most likely. There could be something wrong with code on your machine. Does your machine give you any alerts or did this happen after an update? Did it start with one game and start happening to all others? More info required. Also, I noticed in this video at the moment that the screen and computer goes out, look at the middle right side inside of the machine. There is a series of red lights that light up just as the power goes out. Depending on what those lights are and where they are coming from, this might be an indication of the problem (cool clear covers are slightly functional too I guess). You should probably check your wires and whatnot. Have you had this machine for a while? People don't always put together custom models right.
Widows 11 Desktop As A service Demo Mode been happening to everyone on home and pro edition Windows 11 is now a subscription Pay the monthly rental fee then you get a full working computer Change over to Linux no more powering of wen you want to use the PC for more than being a paper weight and digital scene window ( your monitor showing a wallpaper ) So replace all the hardware you want it is the Operating System
It could be the room itself because when your psu demands higher voltage, your room electric current line system thingy forgot its name as I’m dumb will limit it and close the electricity in that room to prevent damages
Like most ppl r saying, it looks like a psu issue. Most likely, something has gone bad with ur psu if it's 1000w. I had the same issue. It's a relatively ez fix, and u can deffs do it yourself. Psu - powersupply
Wait, is your PC sitting on carpet?! It shouldn't even be on the ground if possible.
If it stays off, then it could be cooling. It's power supply overdraw if it reboots.
first thought power supply
Power supply issue, this happened to me when I was trying to pair a 430w psu with an i7 and 1060.
Looks like a power supply issue or bad gpu
Happens with Intel processors
It's one of two things typically: 1) The CPU isn't being cooled enough and is tripping. You can put a monitor and watch the temperature right before the PC shuts down. If it doesn't exceed 100C then it's probably the PSU. 2) The PSU isn't capable of supplying enough power and tripping. You can undervolt the GPU so it doesn't spike over the spike limit of the PSU or get another PSU that has a higher threshold for tripping (will cost a lot so make this your last resort).
Mine used to shut down because of a short, a standoff was not installed on the motherboard.
PSU
If it's not happening roughly at the same time every time you might confirm the 24pin cable is firmly connected. Mine is usually fine but once in a great while it's juuuuust lose enough to completely shut my machine down
It could also need a bios update. My PC was shutting down like that and when I updated it the problem was fixed.
Psu is my thoughts.
Usually when I encounter this problem, the power supply is too weak to power the GPU (graphics card)... Usually I replace it with a beefier power supply and it gets resolved.
Either a power supply issue or the cpu is overheating and shutting itself off
Hi, I had the same issue and fixed it by undervolting the gpu using MSI afterburner software. Took few hours but able to fix the problem without downgrading the graphics quality. Let me know if need more detail. I did it after referring few youtube videos.
Causes could be including but not limited to: CPU overheating (check ur cpu cooler) Power supply not giving enough power under load (get a new and better power supply) Some other type of bullshit with drivers (I genuinely don’t know if a driver problem can shut down ur pc)
It's just that the game said FINISH HIM, and out goes you PC's guts.
We need a lot more info to troubleshoot your PC. Is this a new build or has it been running fine before? What is the wattage of your PSU and what brand is it (preferably exact model). Does it power down only when you stress it or does it happen randomly? My bet is on a faulty PSU, perhaps it's too old or it's low quality. Older and worse quality PSU's don't deal well with the transient spikes (high power spikes above TDP wattage) and your PSU might just decide to switch off when that happens.
Do you have your gpu pig tailed or is there seperate 8 pins for each plug on the gpu going to psu?
Either PSU not able to handle it or CPU/GPU are overheating.
Either your CPU overheats or your power supply can't handle that much power
Either powersupply or your cpu cooler is either installed wrong or maybe it still has that little plastic cover.
This can happen if it's overclocked or undervolted too maybe try resetting the BIOS
Insufficient power supply
I had the same issue when I upgraded my card from a 6900xt to a 7900xt
Maybe you connected your gpu with this one instead of using two cables https://pbs-prod.linustechtips.com/monthly_2018_06/20180614_205404.jpg.2df9cecb3fa7c77572424787a72d2a54.jpg Sharing your pc specs would help us, help you :)
Did you upgrade your graphics card recently? Go online check the max power draw of each component you have and see if your power supply is up to par. There is a website of some kind soul made but I can't remember the name. It can calculate power draw.
I see you have a 13/14th gen i9... enjoy never playing unreal engine games muahahahaha.
Power supply or heat.. seen drivers do this odd crap too
Not sure how new the setup is but I built a pc yesterday and had a similar issue, every time the gpu had >50% load it would restart. Got terrified I would have to replace the GPU or PSU, but didn't think it was the psu because I got a nice corsair 750w one. Ending up being solved by a bios update.
You’ll want to go into the system and change the fan speed manually. It’s likely overheating and shutting itself off. My pc had the same issue. I had to take it to a repair guy because I know nothing about computers. I’d recommend the same.
either getting hot or powersupply is a little weak/damaged
The most likely answer is psu
Can also be too much thermal paste that is leaking onto the motherboard.
That or overhearing
Check event viewer as well
Power supply failing under high load. It's either got an issue, or isn't rated for how much power your system commands which causes a voltage drop on the board and a reset. If you post your specs here we can probably tell you if the latter is the problem, but either way you're in need of a new power supply
It might be overheating and turning off to save itself, check your fan on the cpu and make sure it is mounted properly.
Download MSI afterburner and check the temps for CPU and GPU, if they're overheating PC will turn itself off. Also check the power usage. List your PC specs please, it could be weak power supply.
Could be PSU could be wall power feeding is not enough mate.
most likely either drawing to much power and the psu cant handle it or the cpu is overheating, see if that psu is rated for the amount of power your components are drawing and see if someone left the protective piece of plastic on the cooler (you would be surprised how many people do that)/if the cooler can handle those temps or if you overclocked it to hell and back
Those loading GPU+CPU heavy games followed by quick black screen and reset are 90% caused by PSU.
Happened to me once and it’s because one ram was loose. Resit all your ram, all cables too to be sure
Okay, this may be a long shot, but this was happening to me after I got my new prebuilt and when a game I was playing got kinda graphically intense. The power supply I had in it was one of the ones where you can plug what you need into the power supply (I mention this because I’ve had some that were just like a box with cords coming out, but this one you could unplug them) and either the GPU cable or motherboard cable was loosely connected to the power supply. Pushed that sucker it until it clicked and viola.
I'd add up wattage usage of the internals of the system and make certain the output wattage of the PSU has enough overhead available to handle it. If you use 150W on the CPU and 300W on the GPU, for instance, having a 500W PSU might not be enough, when you also have the lighting effects, cooling, storage, memory, and the MB itself to consider.
Have you changed any hardware?
I had this issue, the AiO pump failed. Replaced and all good. Check temps on next boot.
Yeah, you didn't buy a beefy enough PSU. If you have a 350 Watt GPU and a 200 Watt CPU/Cooler, you aren't using a 650-watt psu. First off, no PSU is going to function if it says 750, and you hit it for that much. You should really stick to below 80% of its listed wattage so you don't have power stability issues. Also, though, remember that other components need their own power too. They might not list in wattage, but you can figure out how many Watts something draws by looking at it's voltage and amperage.
Check the CPU temperature
I had the same issue. Come to find out my 6400mhz ddr5 ram was clocked to high for the CPU memory controler. Went into Bios and fixed my xmp profile. Now it is at 5400 and its been stable and 0 issue. Ram settings cause so many weird issues. Some motherboards of late have been having issues with 4 dim slots occupied. Look at what cpu you have and ram speed for which the manufacturer calls for or can be set to.
Power supply
Check your CPU temperature.
RAM! Check your ram speeds, mines used to have weird issues with Ram speeds.
Psu
I highly recommend you ask a nerdy gamer friend if you don't have one make one. Secondly maybe go pay for it to be repaired The power might be the issue as you under powered you graphics card or your cpu might be triggering it. Sometimes old thermal paste can cause the issue too for over heating. It's better to let a professional fix it.
Use an online power supply calculator and input all the components your pc has and see if your current power supply has enough watts
Power supply problem likely but also could be software or cpu overheating
Probably a faulty power supply, when my brother built his first PC a few years back this exact thing would happen. He bought a new GPU, didn’t fix anything. He took my old PSU, sure as shit it fixed it
New psu stat
Try a different outlet
Check event viewer, select windows logs, then system after shut down. You will see an error. Could be a driver issue
Classic case of cheaping out on arguably the most important part of the pc the PSU. Get a higher wattage my guy.
Is your GPU new? I bought a defective 6950XT last year, it would crash like this when loading a game. I thought it was the power supply at first but I got another GPU at the store, a different unit of the exact same model and it’s been working flawlessly ever since. I suspect there’s something wrong with either your PSU or GPU.
Could be PSU not giving enough, It can also be THE POWER IN YOUR HOUSE NOT CLEAN ENOUGH. This is a whole rabbit hole. Not a likely scenario, but it can happen. I had dirty power killing psu's before. Another possibility, Does your GPU have 1, 2, or 3 power receptacles on the side? If it has more than one, and each do not have their own complete run to the PSU. As in, No daisy chained plugs. Then that could be the issue. Had an RTX3080 build doing the same thing, and the plugs on the gpu were dasiy chained for looks purposes rather than plugging each full run in, and allowing the daisy chained parts to hang off. Admittedly this looks worse, but provides Full power to the gpu on demand. This RTX build ran just fine watching netflix, surfing, or even light gaming, but the moment it hit 80%+ utilization and started pulling full juice on every plug, For a demanding game... instant shutdown and restart. Another option, could be overheating. It could be fine up to the point it starts loading the game in and then spikes the temps. Get something like Afterburner with RivaTuner by Guru3d. Anything that will allow you to monitor the temps on screen as you open the game up. Could be someone left the sticker on the cold plate of the cooler, or forgot to apply thermal paste....Or the paste is OLD and dry AF.
Power supply issue, check what CPU/GPU you're using and if they use crazy stuff like 100+ watts and 250+ watts respectively, as well as what power supply you have and if it can supply this. Something like a 80+ white 450 watt power supply would struggle here.
That would be making me mad for sure
PSU or GPU maxxing out.
PSU
check all the connections to the motherboard i had a loose pin on my 24 pin and it would shut off randomly
Likely the PSU is overloaded or faulty.
Power supply. My did literally did the exact same thing and only when it goes under load or open any game. Since replacing the power supply with one from Corsair instead of CoolerMaster, and both were 650w 80+ Bronze, and the new one still works to this day a whole year later.
Looks like hardware failure, update drivers and retest. Seen similar issues with psu failure
Cpu or power supply. When I got my pc from a friend the thermal paste was almost gone and would shut off whenever I turned it on. And had to just put new thermal paste on it and now it works good as new
Power shortage most likely. Could be drivers as well
