Hi, I'm having problems with my (fairly) new gaming PC. At first, everything worked just fine, even on the most demanding games, I've never had an overheating issue. But a month ago, something strange started to happen.
I was playing Injustice 2 and while I was picking my character, suddenly everything went black (no BSOD), coolers, leds, everything shut off. Then it tried to reboot, like 3 or 4 times. Coolers would go crazy for 2 or 3 seconds and then it would shut off again and attempt to reboot after a couple seconds. First time I went to the BIOS to see if it was a temp issue, but my CPU was working at around 26°C and GPU was at 32°C.
At first, this happened only while playing Injustice 2, but then it started happening while playing other games. It also happened while picking a character in MK X, after a LoL match, while playing MMOs like SWTOR or TESO, and now it also started to happen while not gaming at all. Like, yesterday I was about to shut down the PC, and right when I clicked "shut down", it happened again. And since then, it began to happen while trying to boot. Sometimes it would reach the windows login screen before rebooting; sometimes, after exiting the BIOS.
I'm at a loss at what could be causing this issue. I think it may be a MB issue, or maybe a RAM issue, but I can't be sure.
My specs are:
CPU: Intel I7 8700k 3.7 Ghz
MoBo: Aorus Z370 Gaming 3
RAM: Corsair Venheance LPX 3200mhz 2x8 Gb
HDD & SDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1tb / Kingston SSD 240 Gb
GPU: GTX 1070 Ti Asus Strix
PSU: XFX XTR 750W 80+ Gold
Everything is less than 6 months old, except for the PSU, which is about 2 and a half years old.
PS: I don't know if this makes any difference, but most times I had this problem, I was entering or exiting a menu, or switching options inside a menu, or in things like character select.
EDIT: It just happened again, right after posting this.
