Question My pc is crashlp!

[alexcoulter111]

I have been playing games recently and my pc is crashing. Sometimes it is as soon as it is opened and sometimes after half an hour. I tried installing different drivers but that did nothing. The only other psu I have is a smart rgb 500w and not sure if I should try that instead. What do you think? p.s sometimes it turns off but sometimes it stays on and just does not display anything which is why I thought it was the drivers. not so sure now.

Specs:
i5 9600k
gtx 1080
z370-g
16gb 2400mhz
corsair h60 cooler
500gb m.2ssd
silverstone strider plus 600w fully modular
phantoms p300

My PC does the EXACT same. I would check the event viewer and see if any event occurs (for mine, it would sometimes say display drivers crashed).

Since you do have the PSU at hand, I would also try that. It's worth the time trying it rather than wasting time trying other stuff if it does turn out to be the PSU.

Also, if you have another output device then I would try that too (e.g. try output from CPU if there is one- I know nothing about Intel CPU's so I haven't looked it up myself)

What is even worse is now it is turning off before windows can load...

check cpu temp in bios?
boot with 1 stick of ram
boot with the gpu out and run with igpu?
