Hi all,

I've been having some weird problems with my PC recently.
Whenever I have a sitdown to play some video games (PUBG, AOE3, Fortnite),
my pc randomly shuts off - no error message no nothing.
It then tries to restart it self. There have been occasion when it tries
to restart itself but it put in an infinite loop of restarting. - hope that make sense

My temps are perfectly fine and here are my specs

i7 4770k - 60C on max load
gtx 1070 8gb - 70C on max load
asrock z87 extreme 4 - 40 on max load
Corsair R650 Fully mod Gold
and 3tb hdd and 256 ssd
Ive also got the h440 case

Any solutions would be appreciated

What i've tried so far:

Reinstalling the GPU in safe mode
Reinstalling the Drivers - deleting and fresh install

Please help 😉

I think you mean RM650, not R650. As far as I can know, or can see, there has never been an R650 made by Corsair.

How old is this power supply?

Do you have or can you borrow another power supply to verify that the PSU is not the issue?

This could really only be a bad power supply or failing motherboard. I would make sure that you have the latest bios installed first though. Could be that the current motherboard bios doesn't like something about the driver framework for your graphics card, but that's unlikely as these kinds of problems usually result in blue screen errors or freezing, not full on shut downs. That is usually a bad PSU or motherboard.
