PC Shutting Down (May Be Due to Overheating)
PC Shutting Down (May Be Due to Overheating)
In the last week my computer has been shutting down unexpectedly, not only during low loads but also when I'm just using YouTube. Monitoring temperatures shows the GPU stays under 40°C without strain and drops to below 70°C when under load, while the CPU remains around 50°C when idle and about 70°C during stress. I’m not sure if the PSU is overheating or something else, as I can’t easily check its temperature. When I feel it with my hand after it powers off, it doesn’t feel warmer than usual. Any advice would be really helpful.

What is the model of your case? What are the details of your fans and their orientation? What about your AIO?
Power supply unit: Corsair RM850x
How recent is your PSU in this setup?
Mobo: ROG B550-F
BIOS version for your motherboard?
You may wish to obtain a well-built PSU similar to your current one, with a bit more power capacity overall, to test if the issue lies with your PSU.
Updated the initial version with the required details while keeping the same length and structure.
Little update here: I did some testing on my PSU and figured out it wasn't overheating but somehow the power switch on it was going too far into the on state to the point where it was turning itself off. Corsair is replacing it under warranty so the issue should be fixed.
