    Question Computer shuts down when playing video games. Power button does not turn it back on until flipping PSU switch.

    One thing I would like to add is that I tried running a torture test through Prime95 on my CPU while simultaneously running MSI Kombustor for my gpu, and no crash while maxing out the load. What may be a coincidence, this has only happened with Steam games so far.
