PC Gaming = PC force-shutdown...
Here’s a rewritten version of your text, aiming for clarity and detail:
“I'm experiencing intermittent shutdowns on my gaming PC, which I primarily use for playing games. My system specs are as follows: an Intel Core i7 8086k processor running at 4GHz, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card, 32GB of Kingston DDR4 RAM (4000MHz), a SAMSUNG SSD 970 Pro NVMe M.2 1TB drive, a motherboard by MSI Z370 A Pro E7B48IMS.2B0, a Seasonic FOCUS GX-850 80PLUS Gold power supply, a BeQuiet Pure Base 600 Window Orange case, and a BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler. My monitor is an ASUS PG279Q 2560x1440 165Hz display.
I can play most games without issue, but when I play *The Witcher 3*, the system shuts down unexpectedly after approximately 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay. The shutdowns are forceful – it’s a complete power-off, not just a freeze.
I'm trying to determine the cause of these random shutdowns. Could you advise on how best to diagnose this issue?”
I have no intent other than helping...
The software can only display temperatures if there is a hardware sensor present. There are many components that are simply not monitored or not available for monitoring by end-user.
In my thread I had removed overclocking but that did not help.
With regards to the problem you have, try cancelling out the motherboard VRM issue by doing what I did with the intel tuning utility and running it like that for a few days or until the first issue.
If...
How can i verify that it is heat causing the shutdown?
My temps look normal...
GPU around 70, CPU 50 - 60, only the SSD is "a bit hot" 60-70 C.
The ssd is from samsung so i downloaded samsung tool named "magician"
With this tool i can clearly see the SSD should not be over 60 Celsius temperature.
Mine reachs 70 in heavy-graphic games.
Already bought an additional "cooling addon" for the SSD but helps only like 3-5 C.
Can it be the SSD or what else? I recently bought the case and the PSU because my old PSU wasnt strong enough anymore, i had many "shutdowns"
AGAIN, i dont have those shutdown problems anymore, it happens ONLY while playing witcher3.
In the last 3 days mc PC "shutdown" 7 times, while playing witcher 3.

When you open the link right klick the picture and choose show graphics, so you can zoom in and identify the errors.
You can see mainly i have "cernel power critical error"
My PSU is brand new 850 W gold certified. unless its damaged there is no way it cause the shutdowns.
How do i findout temps of my PSU ?
If got, CPUID HWmonitor CPUID CPUZ TechPowerUp GPU Z, or the basic windows stuff, resourcemonitor, performance monitoring, any of those can help?
The PSU has no fan, atleast none that is visible so i guess there is none.
But its 850 W seasonic gold certified, if that overheats why the * is it called gold ceritifed... a fan wouldnt be wrong.
This text describes a troubleshooting scenario involving a computer's performance issues, focusing on potential weaknesses in its hardware components. It details how a seemingly complex technical problem was traced back to a specific component – a weak motherboard VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) – and provides a link to a related discussion thread for further information. The key takeaway is the importance of recognizing subtle inefficiencies within computer systems.
Im trying to solve problem not thinking of sarcasm.
I have many programs surely one of them can display the PSU temps, or is it truely not possible to monitor PSU ?
In your thread i read the word overclocking, i dont do that so its not for me,
The software can only display temperatures if there is a hardware sensor present. There are many components that are simply not monitored or not available for monitoring by end-user.
In my thread I had removed overclocking but that did not help.
With regards to the problem you have, try cancelling out the motherboard VRM issue by doing what I did with the intel tuning utility and running it like that for a few days or until the first issue.
If that does not help, try cancelling out GPU VRM by lowering graphics power limit to 75% or lower (and the frequencies so it stays stable) and running it like that for a few days or until the first issue.
