Question PC Shutting down when loading some games

[lskzn]

I have a 5800x + 2080 super and in some games in won't get pass loadingscreen/menu
I suspected it would be because of power limitations from my TX650M psu, went to event view logs and there were a bunch of kernel power critical error events,
I borrowed a thermaltake thoughpower GT750w psu from a friend to run some tests and the pc still shutting down when I try to play some games but that doesnt make sense because there's some games that are heavier on graphics and will run fine.

List o games that shutt down the pc:
Palworld
Soulstone Survivors
Smite 2
Legacy Steel and Sorcery
Bapbap
Games that run w/o problems with medium/high+ graphics and decent fps:
Marvel rivals
Wukong blackmyth
Throne and Liberty
The ascent
Deadlock
Helldivers 2
The division 2

This is my system spec

What I've done until now and didn't work:
Upgrade to higher wattage psu: 650w to 750w
Reduced power limit by 20-25% using MSI Afterburner
Upgraded from old driver to newest one: 560. to 576.
Deeply cleaned pc making dust free (6 months build up)

Running cinebench and furmark for 5min w/o problems

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I borrowed a thermaltake 750w psu from a friend
Thermaltake is the brand of the unit while 750W is the advertsied wattage of the PSU, we'll need to know the model and age of the unit. Considering you borrowed it from a friend, what did the PSU power on your friend's rig?

Do you have more than one drive? Are the game that cause the problem on the same drive as those that don't?

Regarding the age of psu and bios version I'll need to double check when I get home
For the borrowed psu It's a Toughpower GT750W ATX 3.1 UK Spec, he bought it 3 months ago and it was powering a budget setup (Gigabyte GTX 1650+ Zeon 2680 V4 Kit from Aliexpress)

Yes, I do.

The games that cause the unexpected power loss are on the same driver

Try moving one of the games that have a problem to another drive and see if it still happens.

Hi, I agree with Teknoman2 with moving your game to a separate drive from Windows and see if the same things are happening. Just a suggestion maybe repaste your CPU with good quality thermal paste. Your Cooler is more than capable of keeping the CPU cool in gaming environments. The CPU overheating can cause crashes and other problems that you don't need. I am an old school gamer from way back in 2000 and up to today. I have always had my games on a separate drive with a shortcut to the desktop in the various versions of the Windows OS's over the years. If Windows has issues you don't have to reload your games if they are on a separate drive. I hope you can find the cause of your issues and enjoy your PC once again. There are people here who can help you. Cheers.

All my games are on a driver separated from OS
