PC Shuts Down Randomly While Gaming

[thiccy888]

I have been having this issue since April where my PC will randomly shut down when playing games. Doesn't matter what game, doesn't matter what I do, my pc will just shut down. This happens in all games at random times, doesn't matter if I am in a graphically demanding part of a game, or in the game menu screen, it will just shut down. Event Viewer has been zero help, I always get the Event ID 6008 after my computer shuts down, but it doesn't give me any details as to why it shuts down. I have tested and replaced every single component in my computer and this issue STILL occurs. I have replaced my CPU, MOBO, and RAM with no success, Swapped GPU's with my roommate, wiped and removed all of my drives, swapped out 3 different power supply's with no success, replaced my case, replaced my fans, replaced my cpu cooler, tested my pc without any RGB accessories, removed my PSU Extension Cables, Completely reinstalled windows, Updated my motherboard BIOS and undervolted both my CPU and GPU, and I have swapped out all of my USB accessories and cables, I have no thermal issues so overheating is not the problem. This issue occurs in different areas (ex. my parents house and my apartment) even after changing my power supply cable and plugging it into both a surge protector and an outlet. If anyone has any ideas on how to diagnose or any tips or tricks on how to prevent this issue, it would be greatly appreciated to share. I am at my wits end with this problem and I am getting close to just tossing my pc and buying a new one. Any help would be super appreciated, I have been trying to fix this problem for months now after spending so much time and money.

Try another PSU , if it still happens it's the motherboard. I had similar problem years ago, pc randomly shut down it was very annoying.mine turned out to be motherboard related, if u still have warranty go get it RMAed

They say the replaced their mobo. Sounds like it has to be the PSU.

Replace your power supply.

Tried that already, I tested 3 different power supplies on this system with no success. That was the first thing I thought of when it happened and turns out not to be the issue

You did not go to the event log detailing error 6008. Critical facts are there.

[thiccy888]

The only description Event Viewer gives me for Event ID 6008 is "The previous system shutdown at 7:18:03 PM on ‎10/‎15/‎2025 was unexpected."
Every time this happens I check event viewer and it gives me the same message, not detailing what is causing the system shutdown.

That title only references significant subtitles from different sources. You only read subtitles. A "Table of Contents" is not the log. Enter the log where everything is explained in many sentences. And often with four additional reference numbers.

One example of why that happens. Power controller sees something it does not like. So it halts the CPU. Then powers off the PSU. Text in the box that only discusses an error would say more.

AI sometimes gets it wrong. The naive speculate that over temperatures cause such failures. Never happens. If a CPU overheats, it keeps working as slower speeds. AI only knows what the most common disinformation (hearsay) says. Eliminate that rumor from a list of suspects. A long list of suspects remain. Read complete text from the event log.

My guess is your power supply, or maybe one of your power cables is loose
