ever

what should I get then?

>>60100917
Mars. Cheap and werks

How old is the pc? Do you have conservative current or temp limits set and overclocked?

>>60101026
About 4 years. I assembled it in summer 2013. Since then I've changed the GPU from a gtx 770 to a gtx 980 ti from evga, overclocked. And a harddrive. It's always worked, then this just happened. Weirdly enough I havent had a new shut-down yet which is the longest since last time.

My 4670k was OC'd but it's all defaults now, it still shut down two times after that so... I dont really know to set temp limits t b h

I think you can turn that off in the BIOS, My ASUS motherboard has an option for it.

>>60101208
yeah but should I? If it protects my more expensive parts I kinda want to keep it

It is probably the 4 year old PSU that's started failing. Some of them do go bad after years of use.

There is also a chance that the PSU is fine and that it's something on your motherboard like a voltage regulator that's failed. OCing your CPU could have caused/contributed to it but it would have happened anyway due to aging.

If I were you I'd start with the PSU, borrow or get one you know is good and test your system with it. If it works fine with another PSU then it's the PSU and if it doesn't then it's probably the motherboard. If this is the case then do the extra step of removing your GPU and see how that goes, just to rule that out. There's a slim chance the GPU is trying to draw more than spec from the PCI-e bus when it's overclocked.

oh anon, buy seasonic or evga next time

>corsair psu
found your problem op

>>60101232
Sound advice, thanks a lot. It happened again just now. Trying to turn off the anti-surge protection is not worth the risk, right?

>>60101253
>>60101292
yeah I know, im buying an EVGA now

>>60101071
Prob the old psu, my cx500 was having shut downs with a 290, replaced with a antec 550 and all has been well since. I would get a new psu, anything fron tier 2 up is fine.

>>60101337
this list

>>60101354
Im thinking on getting the evga g3, its not on the list. Cant go wrong with that one, right? Its probably tier one

>>60101354
list is out of date as fuck
>>60101377
seasonic prime series >= seasonic/evga > all

>>60101492
wops should be

seasonic prime > seaosnic = evga > all

>>60100402
>corsair psu
>not a seasonic psu

Found your problem

>>60101492
seasonic it is then, looking at the MTBF

I'm having this exact same problem only while using Unreal Engine editor. Dual Titan X (first generation pascal) and AX 860. Anyone have any idea whats going on here?

>>60100402
disable asus power surge protection, shits bugged and they had to "fix" this on new motherboards

>>60102255
but its worked so well for the past years

if you still have warranty you might as well RMA it

>>60102189
Probably a faulty unit, but its weird its just one software. So far I havent tested anything but one game so it could be just the software but how is that possible?
