System Details: Motherboard model Asus ROG crosshair VII hero dark CPU Ryzen 9 3900x GPU Nvidia Founders 3080ti RAM 32gb corisair dominator 3600hmz PSU Cooler Master 850w compact power supply Issue: After roughly 3-4 hours of gaming (without problems), the PC remains inactive once powered down. The next morning it fails to power on at all, not even when using the motherboard power switch. No warning indicators appear on the motherboard. This only happens during gameplay (Age of Empires, Racing, etc.) and not when performing tasks like spreadsheets or billing, even if the PC stays on for extended periods. The only solution is to disconnect the PSU, extinguish all motherboard lights, and restart the system fully.

Do you have another PSU available to check if the problem is power-related? If you purchased it locally, you could contact a technician to test it. It might not be a power issue at all, but your PSU would be the starting point for troubleshooting.
