Hello,

I've bought 3080 two days ago, I noticed that my PC completely shuts down after playing any game for more than half an hour but the RAM lights keep working. I am using it with Seasonic 650W 80+PLUS PSU and a Ryzen 3600 processor, RAM 3200 X-AMP


I'm watching the temperature. The processor does not exceed 60 and the card does not exceed 72!
So where is the problem? Is it because the card can't get enough power from the PSU, or the motherboard is the reason cuz it's since 1st Ryzen Gen? In addition, I changed the RAM but the problem still exists, so it will be between the motherboard or is the PSU weaker than the capabilities of the GPU?

Here is my full pc components:

" Is it because the card can't get enough power from the PSU "
I think it's possible.
That's a 320 watt GPU.
Nvidia recommends a minimum 750 watt PSU.
Even though Nvidia tends to recommend high imo....I wouldn't be running 100 watts lower than their minimum recommendation.
...and the fact that the problem seemed to start when you added the GPU.
 
a 650 altho high quality isn't really the best option to power up a 3080. Transient spikes are a thing, and those are most likely triggering the psu ocp and you have the shut downs. I would honestly upgrade it to a 750 even because nvidia itself suggest a 750 w psu to run a 3080 safely.
 
What exact psu? Although it’s unlikely an 80+ model is adequate quality to run a 3080.

I ordered a new 850W PSU and it is coming in two days, I hope it solves the problem .. Thank you guys for your responses and I hope there is no more problems after changing the psu!
Because when I posted this thread I would like to know if you think there are other reasons behind the sudden shutdown or not

What exact psu did you get? Not surprised you had issues, I have read it’s not uncommon with the Focus series.

I think that if you use a quality 850 watt PSU...that your problem will likely go away.

In the situation you described....which I've come across many times...the vast majority of the time.....it was the PSU.

" I would like to know if you think there are other reasons"
The main other reason would be temps.....and yours seem fine.
 
I have plenty of friends running seasonic gold with their 3000 series card and they never had issue. I guess it's all about the date of manufacturing. I heard model prior 2018 might have issues, but again my anedoctal evidence says the opposite. So...
