Fix: Computer ceases operation during gaming sessions.
Fix: Computer ceases operation during gaming sessions.
Greetings. I've experienced this issue persistently over the past few months. While gaming, my computer unexpectedly shuts down, despite the cooling fans and indicator lights remaining active. There’s no discernible pattern linking specific games – from Insurgency: Sandstorm to Stardew Valley – and the problem isn't consistent across all titles. Initially, I suspected demanding games were to blame, but ArmA 3 and Ghost Recon Wildlands operate without issue. I conducted extensive stress tests on my graphics card and processor simultaneously, both performing optimally even pushing the power supply to its limit. I’ve also attempted a complete system format and reinstallation of Windows 10, yet the problem persists. I’m at a loss for solutions and would greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer.
