Question I am stuck!!

[marcuv]

Hi guys. I have a system build by me a while ago. It's a i9 9900, Gyga z390 WIFI Pro MB, 32GB RAM Corsair Dominion 3200, GPU Nvidia 3070 Ti FE. The issue i have is that every time I start the game I usually play (WoT), as well as other games like RDR, games starts, I can play for 30-40 seconds and suddenly the computer crashes remaining in a state where i have my light on on the MB and everything else is shut. To restart i need to shut my PSU after which I can restart it. Now, initially I believed is the GPU, which I changed it with my son's but the problem persist with the difference that i can play maybe a minute or two more. So, I have a feeling is the MB but I am not sure really and before I buy a new one I would like to know if any tests are available to be sure. I have no errors, no strange behaviours other than the ones I described. As well if I do not play anything computer is working fine. Any help is appreciated!!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

That is typical symptom with PSU problems, when PSU protections get tripped.
What model PSU are you using?
It probably is insufficient for your hardware.

RTX 3070 ti requires minimum 750W PSU.

I have a PSU of 750W BeQuiet. Worked with this PSU for 4 years with no issues. Could be indeed this?

have a PSU of 750W BeQuiet

this is the manufacturer, not the model.
they also offer some lower quality units unable to handle heavy usage like gaming.

Thanks for that. Is there any way to test it?

first, knowing what the actual model name is can help determine the likely hood that it is failing.

to test if it is causing you any issue try switching it out with a known quality unit.
