    Games unexpectedly shut down pc


    As the title says games steam run fine for few minutes then immediately shuts down and sometimes restarts the system. What's weird is few work fine but literally any/everything else I fired up from beefy titles like witcher 3 to several visual novels and indies which run on any potato pc! powered off after working normally for a little bit not just crash hence writing here. I doubt it's a heat or hardware issue, looked up people facing this same thing here goes till 2021 and no solutions so far like clean installs, updated drivers, disabling hw acceleration and game modes worked.Was

    OK, first complete your system specs, as it will help us diagnose your problem. Second, can you be a bit more descriptive about the "shut off"? Does it go through the windows shut down procedure, or does the power just shut off completely?

    PC Shuts Down Unexpectedly.


    Odd for the BIOS not to show this, sure went through it all. Truthfully monitoring software is not really accurate for Power Supply the best would be a Digital Multi Meter or Probe. It would still give me an idea of low voltage and i feel this maybe your issue a bad Power Supply. Hate for you though to go out and buy another unless you know for sure.

    Mention you only use this PC for games, but how does it react when not playing games, does this ever happen ? If only when playing games it happens it can be a overheating issue even though it seems fine when idle in HWMonitor. To prevent damage to CPU the PC will shutdown when CPU reaches it's max temp (TJ Max.).

    Between possible overheating and a bad Power supply the causes i feel it might be right now, but by giving more detail about how it is in general without games.I did notice the temps to be high on the AMD Graphics card from HWMonitor and some system fans running bit high RPM's .

    Take a look in Event Viewer at these 4 areas tell me if find any errors pertaining to this.
