I got a new PSU and new case as an upgrade to refresh the build. First week of usage PSU was fine, able to play games without problems. But when I watch youtube videos sometimes the PC just shuts off without warning. Windows event log says Kernal ID 41. Second week of usage looks fine, gpu on overclock doesn't appear to have any issues, but then while I was playing a game 30 mins in, PC shuts off again. Try to turn it back on then after 2-5 secs it turns off again. Tried this several times, same result. But if I leave my PC for like 5-10 mins, it turns itself back on. Could it really be PSU that the so called silent zero RPM feature not turning the fan on when needed? Or just a faulty PSU?
The rest of my build is the same, except the case and PSU. my old PSU was also a Corsair CX600 and it had no issues for past 8 years.
I also heard Corsair icue and Corsair Link may by the culprit?? I tried icue it did cause some weird issues, but i haven't noticed that much with Link. Though I am running MSI after burner, rivatuner and Link. Could be a software incompatibility?
I even reseated all power cables, gpu, ram, heatsink with new thermal paste, doesn't look like anything is loose or mobo touching the case etc....Even resetted cmos.
Anyone have any ideas as to what the heck is going on?
