PC shuts down after 10 to 15 minutes of use.
Hello! Over the past six months, my PC has been experiencing issues. It would suddenly shut down, especially during intense gaming sessions but also when idle. Recently, in the last two months, it became completely unresponsive. I’ve tried checking the RAM, cables, temperatures, switching the power supply, resetting CMOS, and even performed a factory reset, but nothing has resolved the problem. A day ago, I reset the computer and it stopped shutting down after 10-15 minutes. However, it still crashes when playing demanding games. I’m unsure what to do and would really appreciate any assistance. To be clear, the machine completely powers off and fails to start for a short time. The issue seems linked to switching RAM sticks and using XMP settings for better performance. The problem began after those changes and continued even after turning off XMP.

Run memtest86+ from a USB drive without using Windows.

If you complete a full pass without any errors, your RAM should be fine.
Additional passes may reveal problems, though they require more time.
Unless you strongly suspect a RAM issue, it’s probably not necessary.
XMP adjusts RAM to its advertised speeds—this is normal.
Restart the BIOS and revert to default settings; avoid changes like "optimized settings."
Such adjustments might force an overclock that conflicts with RAM.
I initially considered the power supply being faulty, but a replacement didn’t resolve the problem—check another component.
Note: The CV series generally receive less attention.
A failure after some time often points to overheating.
Begin hwmonitor and monitor individual core temperatures.
If you see a red warning at 100°C, that core was throttling.
This isn’t concerning unless it only slightly throttled before recovering.
Began by resetting the bios. Now the machine won't start. It powers on for about 30 seconds without receiving any keyboard, mouse, or screen signals. After that time it shuts off and restarts. This device offers no more excuses to leave it outside, hahah.
Edit: It repeats the same pattern, turning on for 30 seconds and then turning off repeatedly.
