Hello!
As the title says my computer shuts off when i game, but only under a very specific cenario... My computer only shuts off when the game i play either gets very high fps or when the scene that the GPU is trying to process (100% power GPU) is too great. E.g. when i play Stalker: GAMMA on my computer and i have settings that give me ~40-50 fps the computer will never turn off no matter how long i play for, but, if the settings are perfect and i get ~90-100 fps, the game will run for about 15 minutes before the computer shuts off.
One intresting thing is that when i try to turn the computer on again, no matter how many times I press the power button on the top of my computer, it won't turn on. But if I turn off the power supply for 5 sec then turn it on, the computer starts right up!
Specs:
AMD ryzen 3700x
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 TI VISION OC
16 GB RAM (corsair lpx vengance - 3600 MHz)
750W PSU (I think it's a corsair CM750?)
DeepCool gammax L240
I built this computer in 2019, but it has been upgraded since then (GPU, PSU, watercooler, CPU).
Before the upgrades I lived at home with my parents (I was 15) but have since moved out. My new appartement has kinda shady electrical outlets (mabye the problem?) but I'm not sure what that problem would be.
For those of you thinking this might be a thermal problem I can assure you that I've run extensive tests with every single piece of software and can tell you that my GPU NEVER goes above 60 centigrade (140 F)and my CPU NEVER goes above 70 centigrade (158 F).
I think the problem has something to do with the power supply, why? Well after my PC shuts down I feel on the underside and back of the PSU and it's warm to the touch but the things I don't understand are:
If anyone know what this problem might be related to please feel free to post a reply, any advice is greatly appreciated!!

1. The PSU is only 8 months old.
2. The PSU has it's fan pointing downwards and has nothing blocking it's airflow (my desk has a grill on where my PC stands).
3. The wattage of my computer is also calculated and 750W should be more than enough.
