pc shuts down and restarts after minutes

poisondrama · May 17, 2022

Good evening, after assembling my new pc, when I go to play after a few minutes (now I don't know why I'm not a chronometer) my pc turns off, and then turns on again after a few minutes, I also try to turn it on manually but it doesn't work, what could it possibly be? Obviously I don't have a spare power supply to try unfortunately.

CPU: Intel i7 2600k
MOBO: Asus p8p67le
GPU: Nvidia GeForce gtx 770
RAM: 14 GB
POWER SUPPLY: xfx pro 750w
CPI COOLER: cooler master hyper tx3i

I'd say PSU. I had the same issue and it was the PSU

FreedomEclipse · May 17, 2022

How are you getting 14gb of ram? Mismatched ram could also cause issues

AlwaysHope · May 17, 2022

Could be anything here, lots of old gear in that system....

Durvelle27 · May 17, 2022

Also curious about RAM as well

Thinking the same and the PSU is tripping.

When it shuts down try unplugging the power to the PC and plug it back and and see if it starts then. But it does sound like your PSU is on it's way out.

eidairaman1 · May 17, 2022

Make sure cooling is not mounted too tight and cpu is correctly aligned with LGA key pins

Check mobo for swollen caps as well.

qubit · May 17, 2022

PSU and / or mobo are the most likely culprits.

You must test another PSU, so buy, beg, borrow or steal one to test with. It's critical that it's a quality brand and not some no name POS which is just as likely to malfunction or even damage your PC as power it.

The RAM amount seems odd, too.

Plus what @eidairaman1 said.

The King · May 17, 2022

I also find the RAM config suspect.

If the PC is turning off when gaming and only turning back on after a few minutes. It may be an overheating issue.

When last did you give it a good clean and change the thermal paste on both the CPU and GPU?

Blowing out dust bunnies from the PSU can also help with PSU issues.

the strange thing is that it only happens to me with one game, because playing other games everything is fine, I also tried to play fortnite and it doesn't happen, so I exclude hardware defects, maybe it's how you say it is the ram since the game in question with which it occurs requires at least 4, maybe it's a ram problem

Can you please give us more information about the RAM. Just stating 14GB is not helpful

Keullo-e · May 17, 2022

Simple. 8GB + 4GB + 2x1GB or 3x4GB + 2GB.

Size means nothing

We need to know speed, Brand, If its running dual channel or single channel, etc....

Ah, I just thought that you were thinking how is that configuration possible.

Nope I have a good understanding of RAM configs and size

I'm more curious about the type of RAM though as RAM can also cause system crashes and reboots

Hi,
Actually it is helpful because right off the bat we know op is using mixed memory.

Keullo-e · May 17, 2022

Yeah... I'd still suspect the PSU, as that's over 10 years old product line.

Mixed memory isn't bad if the RAM is the same speed

Hi,
It's not some thing an amateur should be dealing with.
But 14gb could just as easily be a typo indeed more info needed :cool:

68Olds · May 17, 2022

Go to System Properties, Advanced Tab. Click Startup & Recovery Settings button. Uncheck the Automatically Restart box so if you are getting a BSOD, you will see it instead of the PC just restarting.

poisondrama · May 17, 2022

1 x 8gb 1600mhz
1x 4 gb 1600mhz
1x 2 gb 1600 mhz
I must have solved it now since I removed the ovp protect function in the bios, it was active

Your hurting yourself with this config

You'll see much better gains using dual channel over single. Even though the speeds are the same neither set matches in size. It should be like 2x4GB+2x8GB and that would give DC

poisondrama · May 17, 2022

I try to leave only the 8 gb only, however I have not solved anything, continuing to give me the same problem

Try just a single stick and see what happens. Also can you test with another PSU

Keullo-e · May 17, 2022

I highly doubt that mixed memory causes shutdowns, I'd try with another PSU as I said, the XFX Pro lineup is over 10 years old already.
