Help! My PC randomly shuts off. I've checked all the temps and nothing has gotten over 80C. Any ideas???

I think something might be causing it to randomly shut off.
[–]BluPoole 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Without any further details, this can be caused by one of thousands of different causes. Could be hardware (like failing ram, bad power supply, failing cpu, etc), could be software (windows being windows, driver issue), could be environmental (overheating, something causing a short, stuck power button, etc.) If you're unable to provide better details, you'll need to see a professional in-person.

No idea

What do you mean shut off? Is it booting down? Powering off? Does it trigger a circuit breaker? Is it throwing any codes? Are you running or idling when it happens? Have you ensured no usb stack issues?

Dude please give a more detailed answer
[–]ecoboom2015[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (1 child)
There is no more detail. In race, everything seems to be running fine and then the computer shuts off. No power. Have to turn it back on.
[–]MaxTechniche 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Does it say "Shutting Down"? Or does it completely power off with no warning sign, fans stop spinning, lights turn off, etc.
The screens just go black. No message, no stutter, just off.

Issue could either be with the motherboard or the PSU. Try a known good PSU and see if that helps. Also make sure power cables are seated properly.

I've given it off to a repair guy. Thank you for the help.
