Before going too far, here is my PC parts list for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/agrippy/saved/xb9V7P
About a week ago I was playing Warzone when my computer shut off and didn't turn back on. The shut off was accompanied by a popping noise. After going through some initial tests, I confirmed the PSU was bad and replaced it with a new one. Come to find out, the 500gb SSD had also shorted. Once both components were removed and PSU replaced I was able to get my computer working again. Was able to play my normal games for several days without issue. Until today.
About 20 minutes into Warzone today and my computer shut off again, this time immediately turning back on. This repeated every time I tried playing any game. After watching CPU temps I noticed it spiking to 80c right before it would shut off. As part of my trouble shooting process when I had the PSU issue the week before I had switched everything over to a spare MOBO I have to make sure it wasn't my MOBO causing the issue. So when taking my PC apart the couple times I did to switch MOBO's i had to remove the CPU cooler and reapply thermal paste. The cooler is the stock cooler that came with my CPU and I haven't had issues with it the past few years. Would the two recent moves from current MOBO to test MOBO back to current MOBO have caused an issue to pop up with it's cooling efficiency? Or should I look elsewhere for a fix.
Any help appreciated!
