System shuts down during high demand periods
System shuts down during high demand periods
My computer shuts down when under heavy use, this occurs intermittently. It was quite an issue about two months ago, but it seems to have improved now. Details: i5 6500 B150 from ASUS, 6GB RAM from Gigabyte (two sticks at 8GB each, both at 2133MHz), Urano VX 650 with 80+ rating, 5 or 6 years old. GPU drivers were updated and the problem worsened. Anyone have suggestions on fixing it or should I consider taking it to a technician? Also, it also reports a 16GB memory issue.
Urano vx 650 likely matches an 80+ bronze piece from around 5 to 6 years ago.
What are the most recent updates? Cleaning the motherboard, reapplying paste to the chipset, and swapping thermal pads are common tasks.
