Running games causes my computer to power down.
Running games causes my computer to power down.
Each time I use my computer to play games, the entire system turns off and then restarts. I usually engage with video games through Steam software, and I also have two titles downloaded from the Microsoft Store. These latter games require a significant amount of graphics processing, and they perform flawlessly without causing my computer to abruptly shut down. However, the games within Steam consistently trigger a system halt during gameplay, regardless of my efforts to adjust settings. My processor temperature remains consistently around 30 degrees Celsius, while the graphics card’s temperature fluctuates between 60 and 85 degrees Celsius based on the game being played. I'm completely baffled by this issue and desperately seeking assistance.
Provide a detailed breakdown of your computer’s hardware specifications, encompassing all cooling solutions and power supply details alongside their age.
What games are you currently running?
Describe your method for tracking temperature levels – is a reading of 30 degrees Celsius considered normal when the processor is in use, or only during inactivity?
Potential reasons for unexpected system shutdowns or restarts might involve a failing power supply, excessive heat buildup, or defective memory modules.
The system specifications are as follows:
Motherboard: MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk
Graphics Card: RTX 2080 Ti
Processor: i9-9900k
Storage Device: 1TB Western Digital Blue Solid State Drive
Power Supply Unit: 650 Watt - Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB – 80 PLUS Gold, Fully Modular
Memory: 16GB
Games Utilized
Steam Titles: Rocket League, Ring of Elysium, Dota 2, Fortnite
Microsoft Titles: ARK, Forza Horizon 4
Temperature Monitoring Software: Speccy. During gameplay, the CPU typically maintains an average temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, while the GPU averages 75 degrees Celsius.
The price of $35 seems inaccurate; this processor should generate more heat. What cooling method are you utilizing?
Utilize coretemp to track temperature readings and observe CPU speed during testing. Please share an image if possible, leveraging platforms like imgur or comparable services.

First, install coretemp and realbench. Subsequently, execute both programs simultaneously, positioning their windows adjacent to each other and initiating the Realbench CPU test. Monitor coretemp's temperature and CPU speed as realbench performs its testing.
Likely works well, but what temperature and CPU speed does coretemp display when executing a benchmark test?
