Question My power shuts off when I play a game

[Huggzar]

Anytime i play a big game, especially VR games like blade and sorcery the power in my room shuts off and I have to reset the breaker, there was another thread but they didn’t say anything about their breaker being flipped.

Specs are
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Radeon RX 580
Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3

Let me know if you need any more info

Sounds like you are exceeding the rating of your circuit breaker. Perhaps you have something such as an air conditioner running at the same time.

So if I unplug other things, that would help?

That would tell you if my hypothesis is correct. If you can duplicate the problem, then disconnect other things on the same circuit and see if it resolves the problem.
