So this problem just started today when it suddenly just shut off. I tried starting it back up but it would only last a few seconds before shutting off; the computer would automatically boot itself back up but again only last a few seconds before shutting off and the process would keep looping until I manually force a shutdown.
After searching some theories online, and common knowledge, I believe it’s a PSU problem.
I like to say I’m tech savvy and I understand the basics but considering it was custom built by recommendations from a local computer shop, im not entirely sure with each components compatibility with each other. Which is where I’m at now, asking for advice on whether I should upgrade/change parts to maximise their efficiency since I feel as though I’m not.
Corsair Vs650 Watts PSU
ASUS Gtx1070 08G graphics card
Intel I5-6600ti CPU
ASUS Z170-P D3 motherboard
16gb ram
I DID have a thermaltake basic mid range fan attached but the power cuts were still occurring even with it detached.
I mainly play heavy graphic dependent FPS games like BF4 and recently apex legends. But I find myself having to decrease the graphics as much as possible to get frames and even then they’re not the smoothest.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. Don’t hesitate to ask for further detail and I apologise for any ignorance in my explanation and/or responses.
Just fyi- the case is extremely basic; the PSU and Graphics Card fans are facing each other in close proximity. So it’s a five that I’ll be upgrading the case.
