Hello all-
Last year I build a Win 10 gaming rig with the following componets-
GPU-Nvidia RTX 2070
MB Asus ROG Strix X470-F
RAM- 16GB DDR 4 3200Mhz
1 TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD
4 case fans
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with included fan/heat sink
Creative Sound Blaster Z
750 Watt PSU.
LG SATA DVD-RW
For awhile the computer has been powering itself off at odd times; sometimes if l‘m not using it, other times I might be playing DOOM, recently it powered down when I was ripping a DVD. When I say ‘power down’ it doesn’t go through a ‘shut down’ sequence, the power just turns off like someone flipped a switch. A few times when it behaves like this, I will turn off the power manually, wait a few minutes, turn the power back on and hit the case switch and the it will ‘try‘ to power on (the fans will kick ) but then it will shut down again. It’s not overheating because it’s turned off when sitting idle and also I’ve monitoring the CPU temp more than a few times when playing intense games and it rarely gets above 45 degrees. I DID try to over clock the CPU once while ago and it turned itself off in a similar fashion.
I’ve also tested the PSU with a PSU tester and it’s fine.
Is it possible a 750 watt PSU isn’t sufficient for my components? Anything else that might be causing the issue??
Thanks!
