System shuts down unexpectedly during gameplay without clear cause.
System shuts down unexpectedly during gameplay without clear cause.
Hello, I've faced this problem for a couple of weeks where my PC shuts down during gameplay. It sometimes happens right when I begin a match, and other times after a couple of hours. I've tried swapping the power supply unit, updating GPU drivers, and checking the chipset drivers, but nothing seems to help. Interestingly, stress testing my CPU and GPU works flawlessly—no reboots or shutdowns occur. I've tested multiple scenarios, including running games like Rainbow Six Siege, Farcry 4, and Farcry 5, as well as benchmarking with Cinebench. The issue persists across different configurations, so it might be related to hardware or software. Specs: Core i5 6400 rx560, 16GB RAM (exact model not remembered), Thermaltake Litepower 550W PSU, tested on Rainbow Six Siege, A Way Out, Farcry 4, Farcry 5, and Benchmark Heaven.

Discussing optimal settings: CPU and GPU performance should sit between 40-70. Avoid overclocking. Clear CMOS and reset BIOS. Consider changing MB and reinstalling Windows.
