My pc shuts down while playing games.
My pc shuts down while playing games.
I have a budget pc build from August 2017 with:
PSU:Corsair VS450
GPU:VGA GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX1050 TI WINDFORCE OC 4G GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E
CPU:CPU INTEL PENTIUM DUAL CORE G4560 3.50GHZ
MotherBoard:GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H
RAM:1xCORSAIR CMV8GX4M1A2133C15 8GB DDR4 2133MHZ
I was playing at any resolution, at any graphics without any problems until 2 days ago. But yesterday my pc started shutting down while I was about to start playing. When I play not at high graphics and not at 1080p it is all good(no shutting down), but when I put high graphics and 1080p, the pc shuts down. For example, I am playing now GTA IV and PUBG. It was all good until 2 days ago, but from yesterday when I start playing any of them , the pc shuts down.
Any advise would be thankful.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is a common cause of random reboots due to insufficient power delivery or instability.

Try ruling out a software issue, but I'd suspect the power supply. It's not one of the best...
What do you mean by telling me "Try ruling out a software issue"? I know what it means, but what do you mean, what to do?
The psu was working well. You mean it is done? You mean it is dead?
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
“If checking CPU/GPU temperatures under load doesn’t reveal any issues and you haven't made any software changes, the problem is likely your power supply unit (PSU). Random reboots are frequently caused by failing or unstable PSUs, especially in older systems. Specifically, aging or low-quality PSUs are a common cause of unexpected reboots.”
InvalidError :
The Corsair VS series is one of the lowest quality lines under the Corsair brand and dying PSUs is one of the most common reasons why computers mysteriously start randomly rebooting.
If checking CPU/GPU temperatures under load doesn't reveal anything suspicious and you didn't change anything software-wise since your PC began to randomly reboot, the PSU is the most likely suspect.
I bought this psu on 28-06-2017. It has warranty. If I get it back, will they fix it, or at least give me another one? Is there anything that can be done with that psu or will I have to buy a new one? And if I have to buy a new one, what do you suggest? Please something not very expensive , but good, not like that psu I have.
I checked yesterday on 720p the temperatures of cpu and gpu and they are fine, I think.
The PC shuts down when I put 1080p on game. When I put 720p it does not shut down. I haven't change anything. I haven't put anything more on pc.
I have found three PSUs.
Evga 550 B3
Evga 500 BQ
Corsair CX 450M
Are they good? Can I replace the corsair vs450 with one of them? Can they handle my build without dying in 6 months?
