Does my PC turn off while playing some specific video games?
The PSU makes the brand and model (or part number). How old is it? Did you buy it new or used/refurbished? Knowing this is very important because knowing just the brand and wattage doesn't help much at all. I might as well say that I own Seasonic models like 520, 550, 650, and 850. Just saying those numbers won't tell you exactly which one I have right now. Good luck trying to guess!
A quick cut-off suggests that using too much energy is coming. If you added a new graphics card or similar item, you may need more electricity than your current power supply can handle when it gets hot and busy. Most regular power supplies aren't built to take on the heavy load of extra hardware they are supposed with.
I got the Corsair RM750 white. It's brand new, so it's definitely in top shape right now. Honestly, I already tried replacing the power supply unit last time and figured out what went wrong then. So if we can just skip that step and actually figure out where this problem is coming from, that would be super cool! My recent switch to a less reliable PSU has taught me that it's definitely not my new build.
what's your cooling fan and how hot did you get the processor when it stopped working?
Well, you didn't say anything about that in your first message. So how do we know? In the end of the day, you never mentioned any troubleshooting steps you tried before. You just said there was an issue and listed some PC specs. The fact is that a PC shutting down while running usually happens because: * it's too hot (high thermals), OR * the power supply unit has a problem (PSU issue). It rarely happens due to: * the main electricity grid being bad. High thermals can be fixed by improving airflow inside your PC and using better fans or a CPU cooler. A PSU problem is solved by swapping out the PSU for a good, high-quality one. The Corsair RM-series isn't really top quality. Problems with the main electricity grid are fixed with an UPS. The MoBo VRM problem gets fixed when you replace the motherboard.
which PSU do you like? And thank you so much because you did the right thing! I checked my temps and I know that I really need to buy a better cooler now since my CPU was hitting 100 degrees while playing those games.
For a build that needs power, 750W is enough. You can choose any one of these: https://hwbusters.com/best_picks/best-at...busters/3/. All of them are great choices.
