Hello,
I recently rebuilt my system, retaining only the motherboard and cpu from previous build. I am experiencing random system shut downs. It almost completely shuts down everything. Except the Corsair Vengence rgb ram is still lit up on the motherboard. I have to switch psu off and then turn it back on to reboot.
When I first built the system I had the GPU in an upright position. The shut downs were pretty frequent, sometimes only a few minutes.
It only seems to shut down when I am playing a game. It hasnt happened when streaming tv or browsing the net.
It isnt overheating. The Kraken shows the temps and the gpu rarely exceeds 60 degrees. Same with CPU. They are both normally around 50-60 degrees when gaming. It has shut down when playing the new Dead Space and also Darktide but also Magic Arena, which I cant imagine is particularly demanding.
I have tried slotting the GPU horizontally into the motherboard. This seemed to help. I went about 3 days without the system shutting down. Now its started again and is shutting down once or twice a day. Again, only when gaming.
I have white extender cables on MB and CPU, took them off and directly connected cables from brand new corsair psu, in case it was a bad cable. I bought a white 12pvwr cable off amazon, dont know if maybe thats faulty or if it might be the graphics card?
I read a post online that suggested it may be the RAM speeds on bios. So I tried changing them from 3600 to 3200. I also tried turning a-xmp off. Neither changed anything. Shut downs continued.
btw, I am aware that the cpu will bottleneck the gpu but not to the extent of shutting the system down.
When I first opened the gpu I found that the plastic bag inside that the gpu was wrapped in was ripped in two places. This suggested to me that the gpu may have suffered a knock but dismissed the thought at the time.
Any thoughts? Could really do with some help.
Thanks
Update:
I have tried switching out the graphics card for my old GTX 1060, still had shut downs. Tried updating bios and chip drivers, still had shut downs. Next I am going to try replacing the psu I think.
