PC shutting down please help :(

[lebleu514]

Hi , I recently built a pc this summer after saving up money for a while. I recently started to get weird problem and I have a hard time trying to troubleshoot it. Back when COD beta was open and I was playing my pc started shutting down and rebooting but it stopped after a while (it was the only game that did this) but just recently I bough ACO and after an hour of gameplay my pc always shut down and it started shutting down on games like csgo. I checked the temperatures but they are always in the mid 70's when playing ACO and mid 50's while playing csgo, I don't think it's the PSU because I have a B600W from EVGA and it should be more than enough to power my cpu (i5-7600k) and my gpu (GTX 1080) I should mention that my cpu is not water cooled and it's OC'ed at 4.2ghz maybe I should underclock it a little bit?

When you overclock your cpu, you have to make sure that it is stable, up your voltage a little bit and see how it goes. You can also try to reset it to defaults and see if it fixes your problem

Did the PC perform without this issue prior to any recent work done? If so, that is your answer. Try undoing what you did to see if the problem persists, then revisit the forum with an update.

Yeti_Yeti, I'am at work but when I overclocked my cpu I did not change the voltage. But this does not explain a lot because my pc was performing super well in games like witcher 3, rust, csgo.

can you check your Event Viewer logs? if you only found Kernel 41 errors and no other driver/system errors before that. then we can rule out its only happening on the BIOS/hardware level.

restarts could be cause by a throttle on your gpu/ram when it reaches critical clock speeds as well. not only because of temps. maybe you can lower your blck a bit. idk. oc is just different from machine to machine. you can however try to confirm its in your clock settings by reducing all its optimized defaults in your BIOS (depnding on your mobo) and see how it goes from there.
