[SOLVED] PC turns off often and needs a few minutes idle

[Ivenius]

Hi,

Since a few days my PC sometimes will stop working, the screen will turn into blue stripes, and I wont be able to do anything but turn the computer off.

Then, when I turn it back on, it will work, the fans will work, but the monitor will not have the signal. I cant even open bios. There is also no "beep" sound whatsoever.

I need to plug everything out and try again in like 30min, sometimes multiple times, then it starts working normally. I tried multiple monitors, all of them have no signal. I disabled OC, I tried increasing core volts for the CPU to 1.35v, still same issues. Also there is nothing in the system events log about this.

What could be the problem?

Can you tell us the exact specs of your system?

I would go for some overheating issue, you should monitor temps while putting the PC under load.
If you have a dedicated GPU, I'd say look at that first.

Thanks. The temps on the CPU are fine, I'll be monitoring the GPU.

Oh yes, the 980Ti is definitely a power hungry (and therefore, very hot) beast. My bet would be on that.
