Does any one know why my computer keeps shutting of. Thought it was the PSU but got a new one today. It only happens when i play games.

 

[Abbas Shahrour]

what's the wattage on the psu and your gpu cpu?

 

[Robin Hutley]

500W And a GTX 960 and a FX-6300

 

[Jason Rockley]

Get some temperature software and check that. Sounds more like a thermal issue if it's just happening with gaming.

 

[Brandon Timoszyk]

What model PSU's

 

[FourthRider Zxi]

Heating issues.

 

[Ryan Bloch]

Usually that's an indication of the power supply can put out enough power

 

[William Bares]

Almost always a heat issue. Could be a bad sensor.

 

[Robin Hutley]

Would it be an issue for the pc being plugged into a extender and not straight into the wall?

 

[Joshua Harrah]

Put some more thermal paste on that bitch

 

[Jason Bowman]

Overheating.

 

[Seth Kingery]

Shutting of what?

 

[Michael Boersema]

CPU is getting too hot and BIOS is shutting down the PC to avoid damaging CPU

 

[Erik Bmods]

overheating

 

[Jarrod Freeman]

Do you have a crucial SSD?

 

[Jeremy Chafin]

You either need a even bigger psu or it's overheating. I had a computer that had a 600w psu and it kept shutting off when I played games, i upgraded to a 1200w psu and it definitely fixed the issue

 

[Jeremy Chafin]

You don't need a 1200w for your setup I'm sure, probably a 750 or 800w would be plenty for you

 

[Yan Andrukhov]

you honestly ended up getting a shit tier psu, Get an evga one thats at least silver certified, and maybe higher capacity

 

[Trabin Di'Antillies]

Check temp, fans clear, vid card updates.

Robin Hutley, I have an FX-6300 and an R9 390x. Upgraded from an old 650ti. Had to go from a 550 to a 750 PSU because of power issues.
