Hi all you can just call me Josh, I humbly request help with an issue I have been having for two days now. I'm at my wits end here.
The issue - while playing games, my pc will randomly shut off not blue screen just no power and restart. The two games it happens so far with where Overwatch which happened first and I thought it was an overheating issue, and the second was with Anon 2205. I haven't played anything else because I was spooked.
The backstory - this as I said started to happen two days ago, after a black out on my street but the thing is I have a UPS unit and was able to safely shut down my pc. I also recently upgraded my GPU, from a GTX 760SC to a GTX 1080 Ti.
The specs -
CPU - i7 5820k
PSU - Corsair HX850
Mainboard - Gigabyte X99-UD3 (I'm aware it's not the best board)
GPU - GTX 1080Ti FTW3
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX ddr4 16gb
Cooling - Corsair h100i
I know it's a mash up of parts but I'm slowly upgrading please don't judge me....
Intial speculation - I thought because overwatch has a history of some people haveing overheating issues with it, it was that and that's why I initially thought ahh cramped case it's just hearing up, but I monitored the temp in the case for anno and the hottest it the gpu every got was maybe 45°C so it's running cool and that was while I was streaming. Im pulling out my hair at this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
