Pc has been shutting down for several months now. During certain games it completely powers off, and I can’t restart it. I have to turn the power off and wait 10-20 minutes before it comes back on. I swapped my old hard drive for a new SSD, upgraded the power supply, and just recently bought a new GPU. It still works fine. The CPU temperatures stayed below 60°C while playing BG3, and the GPU was around 65°C. I’m unsure what’s causing it to turn off. The parts I haven’t changed are the CPU, RAM, and motherboard. I’m planning to get a new CPU cooler tomorrow, but I doubt it will help. Any advice on why this is happening would be helpful.
