Hello! I am encountering random shutdowns of my PC and not sure what is wrong with it, would like to ask for some help here. The shut down happens at idle or web browsing and even at gaming. No BSOD just when it happens it gets shut down immediately.
These are the PC specs:

Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
Intel Core i7 4790K (no overclocking)
16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 Ram
ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO
ASUS GTX 1080
Samsung SSD 850 PRO 128GB SSD
SAMSUNG SSD PM851 mSATA 512GB SSD
Corsair RM750

What I already tried to do:
-Downloading proper drivers
-Resetting bios
-Did memtest no error
-Run cpu and gpu programs but it happens totally randomly so not at load

Thank you for the help! :)
 
You could really only put it down to one thing if it is random in nature, and what state your system is in when it does be it at it`s most idle in power consumption, or when under heavy power consumption such as playing a game.

And that would be down to the power supply unit fitted to the system, based on how old it is in years and how much up time powering the whole system it has run for Xalyy.

Even a power supply that is less or just over two years old will beging to degrade in the level of constant sustained power it efficiently can deliver.

The only other two things that may cause it to power off during hi and low power demand would be how hot the cpu gets. And if there is a thermal shutdown value set in the bios of the motherboard that can be ajusted to trigger a complete power down of your system.

It can be sometimes as simple as adding a few more Mv to the cpu core also as an under powered cpu can cause a system power down.

Like wise system memory that needs a slight Mv increase.

Or a fact that in the bios the power management options for APCI mode are not set right.

All of the points mentioned here should be checked with your system.
Short of that is to try a slightly higher rated Psu in watts and amps.

Power supplys on there own can also signal a power shutdown due to the inner components of the PSU becoming to hot so it`s important to check the Psu has a good air flow of cold air.
And the fan of the Psu is working as it should Xalyy.


 


The PSU is like 1 year old and had about 8-12 hour average usage per day.
It doesnt seems like its the temperatures in Idle I get 40-50c and in prime95 bend test 60-75c which is totally normal.
I could try adding few more mv to cpu and ram.
Not sure about the APCI settings what I have currently. How should it be set right?
Cant really try an other psu at the moment.
I touched the PSU and it seems cool also this psu has like a no fan mode so the fan doesn't turn on unless it is at a certain temperature.



GPU temps fine too. Even at load no more than 70c.



Yes I know I should get a BSOD atleast or something. But you just have an RM power supply in your signature and you are telling me they are not great :ouch:
Anyway I am not buying any other Corsair PSU's anymore this is my second Corsair PSU which seems to have issues, I cant say for sure so far that it is the PSU but the fact that I had problems with an other corsair PSU in my old PC is an interesting point.

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

These are the error and warning messages that I get in event viewer.
