Yoo so I just built a new pc for gaming

-I7 12th gen

-MSI z690 edge wifi

-MSI 3080

-16gb ram

- EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+, 80 Plus Gold 1000W

I got the build up and running no problems, drivers were fine temps were well beyond fine (custom water cooled) ran a couple benchmarks everything checked out perfectly so I downloaded GTA 5 loaded it up and the moment I spawned in PC just shut down completely, no warnings just boom gone. I did the normal, wait a second then see if I can power it up again and nothing. checked for motherboard and psu cables, felt for high temps and nothing was wrong sooooo I thought maybe the PSU went boom so I grabbed my bridge tool and my pump ran fine so it wasn’t the PSU….I got no idea what’s going on or what to do, I haven’t overclocked anything or messed with the bios. The motherboard just died randomly after running a game

If the board is within the return/replacement window of the store you bought it from, just get a replacement.

In reliability studies, if something's going to fail suddenly, it either does it within the first 30 days or years afterwards.
Yeah I was trying to avoid that cause it would set me back about 2 weeks
