So I've been using this system for a while and so far it has been doing pretty well...apart from this weird issue. For some reason, within certain games, doing very specific actions will end up causing the PC to completely shut down and restart (as in the power completely cuts out).
I've noticed it happening in the following scenario's
Automobalista - Literally choosing certain cars and doing races with them causes the problem within seconds into the race. Most cars however work completely fine
Subnautica - Doing one action at a very specific area in the game leads to the problem. Otherwise completely fine
Modern Warfare - Sometimes when loading a multiplayer match it will occur. Other times it can go for a few matches without any issues.
I'm honestly very confused by this because like I said, it only happens in very weird scenarios. I've tried many different games/benchmarks yet never ran into those problems. I thought it had to do with the graphical intensity, so I tried many other games varying from intense to not and the issue never occurred with them. Weirdly enough, the first two issues seemingly got fixed with a Windows update (though need to do more testing to find out) whereas the problem with Modern Warfare only started happening more frequently with said update.
I want to say it's a PSU fault, but I'm finding it hard to deduce that because it's difficult to actually reproduce the crash, just happens when I least expect it to (which is annoying because I'm trying to use HW monitor to see if anything strange happens before it crashes). And unfortunately, I don't have spare PSU's/GPU's that would help accurately debug the issue
Event Viewer just gives the "Previous shutdown was unexpected" same thing with Reliability Manager I'm afraid.
GPU is only about a month old, PSU is ~5 months old I'd say, both seemingly work fine normally though.
