I have a friend dealing with a peculiar problem where his PC suddenly shuts down without any blue screen, just like the fans begin to speed up. I noticed this might be linked to the power supply unit. I've suggested he connect the computer to a wall outlet instead of using an extension cord, thinking it could be the cause. I'm more curious about whether the PSU or the GPU is the issue. The PSU he has is a Corsair 750 watt and the GPU is a 3060; I’m not sure of the exact models but can look them up. Online searches also mentioned that an Xbox Game Bar might be responsible, but disabling it didn’t help. He has already updated the GPU driver using DDU and reset Windows. Anyone know if this could be related to the PSU or what the real problem is?
The PSU is a Corsair 750 watt, the GPU is a 3060 Corsair, and the unit belongs to the brand Corsair. The advertised power rating is 750W. What model is it and how old is it? If you owned it for some time, what was its previous performance before the RTX3060? When sharing troubleshooting threads, it's important to provide full system specifications. Please list your build details clearly: CPU, CPU cooler, motherboard, RAM, SSD/HDD, GPU, PSU, chassis, OS, monitor. Include the age of the PSU as well, along with its make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard is also required at this time.
I wonder if the fans are increasing due to higher temperatures during the issue. You might want to use a tool such as HWMonitor to check the temperatures while it runs.
