I believe I've solved the issue, see above. It was degraded capacitors that are now more sensitive to the heat from the GPU.

Who has two thumbs and found a solution? points to chest with thumbs THIS GUY Okay, with alceryes push I decided to investigate issues with the motherboard. I knew it wasn't the CPU or anything near the CPU as a stress test found nothing, but a GPU stress test caused a system shut off...

I have found a POTENTIAL issue which may cause this. See the PCIE slot ABOVE the battery? That is currently where my GPU is inserted, now also notice the capacitor below it on the left. I noticed that my GPU covers this capacitor, and potentially could overheat from the GPU running. So...

I have run Prime95 for about 60 min and had temps of 75 - 80 C for the duration. There was no wanrings or errors and no sudden shutdown. That tells me that it's unlikely to be any issue with CPU or capacitor issues near the CPU, however I will look near the GPU to see if any capacitors are...

So you're suggesting two different GPUs are likely to cause the same transient power spikes? It seems strange to me that it would happen for two different GPUs. I've also replaced the PSU so it's doubtful that it's an overheating PSU, and as I stated CPU is not overheating. I will try to...

I recall this started to happen some time last year or the year before, and I just gave up playing games. I recently thought to myself 'hey, why did I stop playing games' and tried it out, then it all came flooding back this issue and why I never tried to play games again. So basically this...

Okay, I have updated the BIOS to 5.90 and I am still getting this same issue. 20 minutes of game play and then BOOM, blackout system shuts off.

I have updated to V5.9 in the BIOS, thanks for the heads up about later version of BIOS not supporting my CPU - that could have been a mess. I am going to try running the games now and see if anything has changed. See above for the RAM info.

RAM part number: CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 Version number: 1.20V ver 5.30

PSU: EVGA 500W Gold Ram: Corsair, x2 8Gb SSD: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB (OS operates on this) HDD: WDC HD 1TB (contains images of backups from SSD) Motherboard: AsRock AB350M Pro4

Replaced a Silverstone 500W with a EVGA GOLD 500W PSU

I will give this a go, but I'm doubtful.
