Hi there! I've faced some issues with my PC over the last few months and I'm struggling to figure things out. Since I'm not very experienced with computers, I came here for assistance. My PC randomly shuts down and restarts, especially when playing certain games like War Thunder, CS2, Fortnite, and a few others. I've tried reinstalling Windows and other fixes, but nothing seems to work. Based on my specs, it looks like a solid build, so I'm not sure if the problem is with the CPU or the power supply. My PSU is quite old—only 450W—and I'm trying to determine whether it's related to the CPU or the power supply. It's frustrating, and I hope someone can help me resolve this before it affects my health.

It seems the PSU might be a bad 450W model. Do you have the specific model number?

It might be a power unit problem, or it could relate to temperature. Check the readings when the device is under load versus when it's idle.

It looks like you're referring to something that's quite outdated. Can you clarify what you mean? I'm here to help!

Bios could have a maximum temperature threshold for the CPU.

CPU temperature is around 80°C which is normal, but the GPU stays near 83°C and could shut down if it continues that high.

The PSU is a top-tier option.

The choice between orange and black labeling might point to the PSU, which has an older design and isn't particularly impressive.

No, I don't have any GPU software installed.
