Hello there! I'm just testing my quest setup on my PC with a 12600k @ 5GHz and a 3080 graphics card. If you're seeing any unusual behavior or overheating, here are some clues it might be the power supply reaching its limit:

- Unusual noise from the PSU
- Overheating indicators on the PSU or motherboard
- Voltage fluctuations or drops
- Reduced performance or crashes under load
- Strange smells coming from the power unit

Keep an eye out for these signs and let me know if you need help troubleshooting!

Lower the CPU power cap to 150w and GPU to 80%. If it gives up, that’s the solution. Make sure to strip the CPU overclocking.

If you ran low on power, your computer would stop instead of restarting. Restarts usually point to overheating or another hardware problem such as RAM or a faulty OC. Install HWMonitor, Prime95, and Furmark. Run a stress test with Prime95 and watch your CPU temps—check if they spike excessively. Repeat the process for your GPU using Furmark. It’s also possible your CPU overclocking is causing trouble. I’d recommend removing it and testing again to see if the system starts normally. Even if it works in other programs, a crash in one indicates instability.

Review the monitor or another system monitoring app to see the power usage of your CPU and GPU. Next, examine your VR headset's thermal design power (TDP) to determine available wattage capacity.

Temperatures have been monitored and are within acceptable ranges—CPU stays below 65°C and GPU under 75°C. The system shuts down completely, cutting all power with no standby mode active.

I've only encountered this problem in VR and maxed out the GPU at 412 watts while clocking the CPU around 150-200 watts.

Setting the maximum power to 80% on my GPU prevents it from shutting down abruptly

This setup would only use up to 612 watts total, with about 100 watts extra for your VR headset—should cover it well. What is the maximum power rating you need for your system?

That doesn't seem to be a simple restart then... This appears to be a power-related problem if it causes total shutdowns. Even though it hasn't happened before, older hardware often needs adjustments such as overclocking. I'm unsure about the 150-200W figure you mentioned. I'm checking online sources and found it to be around 350W at 5GHz according to Guru3D. https://www.guru3d.com/review/core-i5-12...ew/page-24 " Our Intel Core i5-12600K CPU consumed 350W during stress tests at 5.1~5.2 GHz." It seems the software data might be misleading unless you use a proper power meter.

The data shows 150 from the homework section, which matches your observation that you rarely use the CPU. This aligns with the expected performance.
