Built a new Ryzen PC last year. Worked perfectly for a few months, then moved to a new home. This is where it gets a little weird. It just started powering off, I quickly realized that it happened when I was playing WoW+watching a Periscope video on the 2nd monitor. As long as I wasn't watching Periscope, everything ran ok. I put some effort into figuring out but not a ton. Since then I've seen the same issue crop up a few times but it was always the same, running a game+a streaming site. As mentioned, the PC just powers down cold, no dump, nothing in event logs. Makes you think hardware issue right? This is where it gets a tad stranger. Just finished Banner Saga and it worked perfectly, just installed Banner Saga 2 tonight and I can't get through an in game video at all without a power off, even with no browser open.
What I've tried
Upgraded Video drivers
Upgraded Bios
Ran game in compatability mode for Windows 7
Changed Memory timings
Uninstalled Flash
Installed Adobe Air (apparently it's used by Banner Saga)
Worth mentioning as it contradicts most hardware issues like heat/insecure CPU cooler, insufficient PSU etc. I can multibox 9 WoW accounts ALL DAY LONG and play a movie on a 2nd screen and browse the web on a 3rd it will never crash as long as I don't go to a streaming site. This is insanely more resource intensive than anything a simple game like Banner Saga can dish out so it feels like a software/driver issue but software problems don't generally power down your PC......
Generally pretty good as whittling away at a problem until I find the answer but this one has me scratching my head. Could use some suggestions!
