Shutting down upon turning on
Shutting down upon turning on
Hey there, just starting out with thread posting and sorry if I made a mistake.
Background and issues:
I've experienced problems like the system freezing and forcing a shutdown, or the desktop shutting down unexpectedly. After replacing my power supply and graphics card, everything seemed to work fine. However, when I turned it on two days later, it stopped after 3-4 minutes of powering up.
Recently, I upgraded my PSU to a Corsair CX 750m (replacing the EVGA 500W 80plus) and swapped my graphics card to a Nvidia GTX 970 (from a Radeon R9 270x). I also updated the thermal paste and am curious what else might be causing this issue.
Current setup:
- MSI Nvidia GTX 970 4G
- Corsair CX750m
- AMD FX-6300 3.50GHz (Turbo 4.10GHz) on AM3+ socket, 6-core processor
- Two Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P AM3+ motherboards
Executed a Prime 95 stress test to check for shutdowns.
The problem turned out to be a blocked dust particle in the CPU fan.

Iām feeling silly now, sorry. Thanks for your time.
How long did it function properly? You mentioned "until today." It seems you're switching between very basic units. It has operated correctly for about a day and a half.
weberdarren97 :
The Corsair CX series can sometimes give voltage irregularities and is likely the root of the issue coming back... Also, please post your core temperatures of both your CPU and GPU at idle and under load
This wouldn't happen after 1 day, though, unless the unit has a fault. My guess is that it may be the motherboard causing issues.
