System abruptly powering off unexpectedly.
System abruptly powering off unexpectedly.
Suddenly my computer stops working without any clear cause. I think the graphics card isn't managing the new monitor well, but checking the temperatures shows the motherboard is overheating—temperatures above 100°C. Do you know what might have happened and how to fix it? Here are your specifications: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600, Motherboard: MSI a320m Pro-E, GPU: GTX 750ti, RAM: 8GB, Storage: 120GB SSD + 300GB HDD, Power Supply: 500W FSP HYPER, RAM: 1 stick. See the Open Hardware Monitor images.
I got it, sir—it was just a false reading. But sometimes when I run many tasks or play games, the computer shuts down unexpectedly. It usually stops after a short time, and when I try to turn it back on, it won’t power up again. I need to turn off the PSU, hold the power button, then reopen it. What do you think might be causing this issue?
Yes. It used to shut down occasionally, but now it powers off quicker. By the way, my previous screen was just 768p, while mine is now 1080p.
I understand. I don’t think I should switch another PSU. I don’t have an extra ATM. Do you think the PSU’s wattage is enough for all the parts? I plan to replace the GPU with a GTX 1060 3GB and add dual monitors on it. One will be 1080p at 144Hz, the other 768p at 60Hz.
The 500W power supply comfortably supports your GPU and CPU. However, if the PSU isn't working properly, it might struggle to provide the necessary power.
