Specs:
CPU: FX 8320
CPU COOLER: Corsair H80i
MOBO: asrock 970 extreme3 am3+ r2.0
GPU: GTX 980 TI
RAM: 2x8gb Kingston HyperX 1866
HDD: 1TB SSHD Seagate
PSU: EVGA 600B
My computer has been shutting down randomly, during gameplay and regular day-to-day activities, for the past few months. For a while it stopped occuring as often, but then about 2 weeks ago it really started to pick up again (Nearly daily). During this time, it seemed like it would happen most often about an hour from when I first started it for the day, but then rarely ever again after that. One day, it shut down, and I tried restarting it, but then there was a spark and a bang, and I didn't dare try starting it again. I couldn't tell where exactly it had come from inside my computer, but I had guessed that it was the power supply, and so I bought a new one (Old one was a EVGA 750B, approx. ~6 years old). I thought that must've solved the problem, but its shut down randomly twice in one week again. It almost certainly hasn't been load temps because my CPU rarely reaches over 45C, if ever, and normally hovers around 35-40 during the games I play. I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be the mobo because of the relatively poor power phase set up, but I'd rather exhaust my other options before shelling out for basically a new pc. Thanks in advance!
