[SOLVED] Hard Crash?

[AmishTurtle]

Hey all,
Just recently I have been having an issue with playing any game on my computer. When pulling up a game/benchmark it crashes my entire computer after about the first 2-5 minutes in the game. First it makes a bunch of red, purple, and green, and blue pixels in small patches on my screen. It does not matter if I am in or out of the game screen the pixels still come up. Then my computer screen goes black and my computer shuts down. I have had this PC for about 8 months and have had no issues. No new programs have been installed. I have tried verifying the game cache and updating my drivers. I am thinking it has something to do with the PSU? I am at a loss right now guys, please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Specs:

GPU: GTX 1080 TI
CPU: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz, 3696 Mhz
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200
MORE DETAILED CPUID ATTACHED

Try to get some temperature readings using something like CPUID before it shuts down. If it's overheating...might be a question of fan settings, or a fan has failed. Thermal paste on the cpu.

1. Make sure cables are snug from card to monitor
2. from psu to gpu
3. if you're using you're brother's uncle's aunt's hdmi (or other) connector, time to replace it
4. Yeah it could be the gpu, they do fail
5. Yeah it could be the psu " " "

If you have stuff that you can disconnect to reduce power load--extra drives, maybe extra ram, try disconnecting the extra drives or reducing the ram from 32 to 16 or from 16 to 8, if the system works better it might be because psu is losing its umpf.

Good luck,

Your GPU and entire system could be a bit voltage starved due to a marginal PSU, or, GPU failing..

I'd try a known good PSU first since the whole system is powering off....

This is my PSU I don't see why this would not work. My only guess is it could be failing. I dont have another PSU to test my PC on.

That is a nice PSU. But even good psus have problems. Read the one star reviews at Newegg. I will venture my guess that it's a failling gpu and/or a failing monitor. Odd color blotching can be a monitor problem.

high chance your psu is failing.
when pc's hard crash when under load, it is the cpu (which is unlikely) or the psu.
but these pixel problems and patches is weird.
it may be because the psu is failing, the gpu has power problems. if there are stutters at the same time from your cpu, it actually is a power problem. try another psu and verify.
when a psu fails it is within warranty on all websites.
