System unexpectedly powers off during gameplay.
System unexpectedly powers off during gameplay.
Hello, I'm facing an unusual issue where my PC crashes right after about five minutes of gaming. I suspect the power supply unit, but after installing the Furmark and AIDA64 stress tests, everything works fine. Could you please let me know what else I should check? I've tried updating the BIOS, reinstalling Windows configuration, and using MSI Z270-A Pro (MS-7A71) with the correct CPU, Intel Core i7-7700K, Nvidia GTX1080 driver 456.71.

Did you install the right graphics drivers?
Has the CPU received enough cooling?
Is the RAM correctly installed?
Is the HDD functioning properly?
I hope this assists you.
Thank you for your response. Yes, the GPU drivers are current. The AIO water cooling keeps temperatures below 100°C during heavy use. I can run the PC continuously for about four days. However, games like Assetto Corsa and Dying Light 2 cause crashes once I start playing. Browsing and general web use work fine.
It seems PSU protection was triggered unexpectedly in Ark: Survival Evolved. It only happened once, but it led to the GPU hitting its limits and then the power supply cutting out. No benchmark results were recorded, not even on Heaven or Furmark. The issue appears to occur under specific conditions, though the exact triggers and patterns aren't clear.
I was checking some details about the setup and noticed your dual PSUs are nearing the limit for the GPU. Based on the recommended wattage of 550W and your system's power needs, it seems you're underpowering everything. You might want to consider a PSU in the 800-850W range to ensure stability. Let me know if you need more advice!
Which game is this? Which moment stands out in it? When you lay a foundation? When the dragon unleashes flames? When the mermaid performs her song? And when the Ferrari zooms past you at turn five on Laguna Seca? It feels like it starts right after just five minutes into the experience.
