Hey guys! I’ve been trying to game on my PC for some time now but it keeps closing by itself after ~30 minutes of playing (namely Hades).
Here are my current specs:
Gigabyte GA-H97-GAMING 3 4DDR3 (REV 1.0)
Intel i7-4790 3.6GHz 4Cores 8MB Cache
MSI R9 290 GAMING 4G DDR5
2 8GB Kingston Hyper X DDR3-1600 CL10 240-Pin DIMM Blue
240GB Intel 730 Series SSD (550/270MBs)
Samsung SH-224DB/BEBS Sata Vlack Internal 24X Speed Plus DVD RW Drive
TP-LINK TL-WN951N
WD 1TB Black Series (WD1003FZEX) SATA III 7200RPM 64MB 3.5" "Internal"
Corsair CX750M Modular ATX PSU 80 Plus Bronze
First thought it might be because I hadn’t changed my thermal paste in a long time, so I applied new thermal paste and cleaned the whole thing as much as I could with compressed air and a vacuum cleaner. Sadly the problem persists and here I am asking for help! I used to believe it might have something to do with my graphics card as the shutdown occurs much more commonly when using that instead of the integrated intel graphics, I just find it weird because if it did overheat I would expect it to slow down (drop frames) or something like that. Overall it does not get super hot, so I think that this isn't an overheating issue.
When plugging the hdmi cable to the motherboard and using the intel integrated graphics, the performance is obviously inferior, but it takes a lot more stress for the PC to shutdown (namely playing PC Building Simulator).
I have also deleted and reinstalled the graphics card's drivers to no help.
So what I'm thinking at the moment is that there might be a a problem with the PSU - that when just using the CPU by itself the power is handled fine, but when using the graphics card it is not enough, or something like that.
EDIT: did a UserBenchmark and the graphics card was shown to be underperforming:
