Hey everyone! I recently built a PC and seem to be having a problem with the PSU or video card heat I think.
The system will randomly go into sleep mode in Windows 10. This is a new build and at first I was getting random system reboots with my new video card nearly constantly with a few stable hours at best, this occurred on Windows and Linux no matter what was running. So I switched to my old card and the system became stable. Except now it has randomly powered down twice into sleep mode. Both times while playing modded minecraft. Windows will go into sleep mode with no warning of doing so, it will then power up with no problem.
Trying it with no video card seemed to allow it to run stable, although I tried for about 45 minutes. I also tried with an an even older PCIE x16 card and it seemed stable as well.
CPU temperatures are stable with no spikes, GPU is running warm (it’s an old one) at about 40 idle/70ish when it’s been drawn on heavily.
I’ve checked all internal connections, risers, screws, video card, ram, thermal paste on CPU, CPU heatsink. No tested cards required direct PSU connections.
The only Windows Event Log is ID 41 kernal power error. This case only has 2 80mm fans, intake/outtake and space for 80mm despite being a mid size. I am unsure if I am having a heat problem or a PSU problem.
Any help is appreciated!
