I've gone to the extents I know and I can't figure it out so I come looking for a savior. Just built my new high end PC for work and gaming in January this year. Here are my Specs:
i9 13900k
Msi Gaming Trio 4090
64gb 2x32 6000mhz Ram G skill trident
Asus Maximus Hero z790
H150i Elite Capellix AIO
1600 Seasonic Prime TX PSU
1 tb 990 Pro NVME
2 tb 990 Pro NVME
Everything worked great and still works great I have no performance degradation or any issues on that front. My problem is my PC will shutdown with no BSOD. Its just instant. But I can turn it right back on instantly too. Now here's the weird part and what is stumping me. I can consistently recreate the shutdowns at least once a day. The PC only shuts down while playing certain games and while having Chrome open. Either Chrome just open or it open and watching videos. That is the only noticeable pattern. The time it takes to shutdown is not consistent but it will at least once a day if I am doing those two things at the same time. There are no Event logs in the viewer to show anything going wrong, it only shows the system was not shut down properly. The hard part is once it does it one time its hard to recreate in the same day, sometimes I cant get it to do it again till the following day, making this difficult to debug.
My Thermals are great everywhere so that's out of the picture. I reseated all power cables and checked connections. After my changes tonight I will reseat GPU and Ram if it happens again. All my drivers are current including Bios. I only bought a 1600w PSU because the 1300w went out of stock the moment I went to buy everything, 1600w is far more than I need but I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea with the 4090s power spikes. So it could be a faulty PSU but the specifics of the issue make me feel like its more Software/Driver related. It can happen once then not again the whole time the PC is up. I just switched to High performance power plan but the issue persists. I also ran Memtest and found no issues. I have no overclocks running. Only thing I have changed in Bios is a slight undervolt for my CPU but even then when I first had the issue I turned that off and issue persisted so I turned it back on. At this point I don't know what to try next besides some other stress tests, one for CPU and Power Supply. With this latest crash I have disabled my CPU's C states incase that is causing any issues. I did see a few ACPI warnings in event viewer which is similar to LTT video on diagnosing shutdown issues which lead me to turn of C States in CPU. Another culprit I have in mind is Windows HAGs. I've seen people have a few issues with that. I could really use any help here. I'm hoping there's no damage being done in these shutdowns but regardless I would prefer if they stopped. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts? Thank you for reading my book and helping.
