So my PC is a half decent spec. I like to live stream and play games but I don't feel it's performing as well as it should.

One problem is FPS lag/stutters when gaming & Streaming (which I do understand streaming takes a toll), another issue which is causing concern is that when I try and run 3DMark Time Spy... the stress test gets around 1 minute 15 in and my whole system shuts off then restarts itself.

I have no idea what the problem could be, I'm thinking PSU as it does make a bit of a buzz under load but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Spec:
CPU: Intel i7-7700k
CPU Cooling: Corsair Hydro H55 Liquid Cooler
GPU: Gigabyte 1080Ti Aorus Xtreme
Motherboard: MSI z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
SSD: 240GB Kingston UV400
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
RAM: 16GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 3200Mhz
Power Supply: Novatech 1000W Power Station V2

Thanks!
 
Solution
I would look at seeing if there is any bios updates for your board but other than that then I would have to look at the PSU
I would also check the temps are good

Thanks, I'll give that a go. Whats your program of choice for checking temps etc?

So my temps after a few weeks seem fine. I adjusted the direction of some fans and added new ones to get the temps even lower. But it still shuts off and restarts itself mid Time Spy.

Think I'm just going to fork out for another PSU and see how that goes...

I'm looking at the following one:

AORUS P850W 850 Watt 80+ GOLD Fully Modular PSU

Hopefully it's decent.
