Computer shutting down during gaming.

Correction:
>I kept an eye out on my GPU temps and the max it ever hit was 44C during load.
I meant:
I kept an eye out on my CPU temps and the max it ever hit was 44C during load.

What I experience:
Computer boots, posts and starts up just fine.
Computer shuts down without bluescreen warnings or any warnings into a hard shutdown.
What I've tried:

Rebuilding the computer. x2
Breadboxing
Clearing CMOS via I/O panel button.
Monitoring temps for CPU, GPU, RAM, MOBO
Running Memtest86 (results in no errors)

Max GPU temps?

Event Viewer logs after unexpected shutdown?

But my system is at system defaults when these hard shutdowns happen. Something isn't stable. Perhaps the PSU?

>>193852
>Perhaps the PSU?
Probably that or the mainbaord

>>193855
How can I test either?

>>193857
Swap in another psu or mainboard and see if the unexpected shutdowns continue. If you don't have compatible spares and money is an issue you'll just have to be patient and go through the RMA process. You should contact the support for whatever retailer you purchased from.

That event viewer error just says the computer shut down unexpectedly due to the power cutting off, but not why. The last time I was messing with cpu overclocks I had this happen a lot because I wasn't giving the cpu enough voltage.

It shouldn't happen on stock settings, but it's not impossible either.

You mentioned messing with the bios and OC Genie. What did you overclock to? Is it possible you damaged the cpu?

>If you don't have compatible spares and money is an issue you'll just have to be patient and go through the RMA process. You should contact the support for whatever retailer you purchased from.

Even though the build is a year old? I figured to just go through the manufacturer for RMAing.

>What did you overclock to?
OC Genie enabled a small auto overclock. I had it on for all of 5 minutes before gaming and thus crashing.
>Is it possible you damaged the cpu?
Highly doubt that. The power problem has been ongoing since I recently downloaded a file and got a virus and removed it. I thought it was a virus that caused my hard shutdowns but nope, still happen even after cleaning my system.
The build has been working for all year until this month. I thought it was the/a virus causing these hard shut downs but I've cleaned my computer and they happen.

>>193864
I just meant you could try a new psu if you don't mind buying one instead of waiting for the rma process.

>>193872
I see.

Does it sound like a PSU issue?

>>193883
A faulty PSU could cause a computer to shut down unexpectedly under load, yes.

Does that mean that's what is happening in your case? I can't say.

>>193872
Your case really is a hard one. You seem like you know what you are doing since your process was reasonable, so I assume you didn't do any stupid mistakes like dropping a few screwes behind the mobo-tray.

I also think PSU is your best bet.
OC genie does not apply any deadly voltages, and aside from giving extremely high Vinput or Vcore beyond 1.7v, there aren't a lot of ways to kill a 5930K anyway.

A sudden complete halt with a non-responding power button indicates that something triggers a safety in your PSU. If it is the PSU itself, or some fault in a wire, or a broken cap on the mobo, I can't say.

You could try changing all your cables since your PSU is modular.

>86C
Look no further. The problem is that your GPU is overheating. Your PSU and motherboard are fine.

>>193922
No it's not. These cards are able to go well above that. Not that it's suggested but even a GPU failure wouldn't cause a hard crash/shutdown. It would give a bluescreen error if anything.

>>193921
Nope, checked. I have all the original screws.
I thought the same about OC genie.

I can idle and not use the PC all day without it shutting down but once I start playing games/load it shuts down without any errors.

>>193924
What kind of load will trigger this problem?
Have you tried isolated loads, like CPU-only load with LinX, or GPU-only load with Furmark?

>>193925
I've noticed it shuts down hard when playing overwatch.
I can try those programs out soon, too.

>>193924
>These cards are able to go well above that. Not that it's suggested but even a GPU failure wouldn't cause a hard crash/shutdown. It would give a bluescreen error if anything.
It's probably configured to trigger a hard shutdown for safety reasons if it reaches 90 degrees or something. And for good reason.

>>193926
It's possible that a fault in your graphics card's voltage regulation causes the PSU to panic. If isolated furmark triggers the problem while LinX doesn't, this might be the case.

>>193930
No, these cards start reducing speed at 105°C and shut down around 110°C depending on the manufacturer. They are designed to be able to run at 90°C for years.

OP here. Shit, I just realized my PC was off a few minutes somehow too.
I changed it back to the normal time but it was off about 10 minutes and didnt change it.

Also when the display comes on, the GPU(s) flicker once the display is detected. Not sure if paranoid but signs im noticing.

>>193956
What do you mean "the GPUs flicker"? Do you mean the green LEDs saying "GTX"? That's no problem, my cards did this as well.

>>193965
Yeah. The entire LED on the GPU. I see.

Downloading and running Furmark now. Wish me luck.

Best of luck to you, anon.
At least you were smart and bought EVGA, so if the problem is indeed one of the cards, then the RMA process shouldn't be a problem.

>>193986
PSU is too.

Ah, I forgot. Then just to your tests with Furmark and LinX to get some more dependable info. Then open a ticket and ask their support on their thoughts.
They know their hardware and why their PSU might panic.

This is my furmark result.
No crashes.

You'd usually run it as a long duration stress test like prime for a few minutes to hours, but we can at least say that your GPUs seem to be fairly stable.
If you can also pass a 30 minutes LinX, then PSU itself seems to be the problem.

>>193994
Oh, well I just ran another test with the same settings and allowed it to run for 7 minutes. I pressed esc and didnt get a result. Whats the time duration on the stress test?

Also, trying Linx now. I'll run it for 30 minutes.

Remember to choose "all memory" to also stress your IMC.

Stress test in furmark runs forever. Most people leave it running for hours to test for rock-stable.

But, like I said, a passed 30 minutes LinX and a passed ~10-30 minutes of furmark should be enough info for the EVGA guys to work with. Even just your furmark score instead of running it again, if you are lazy.

>>193999
>>194002
So just select "all" from memory?
I already ran a memtest86 yesterday and RAM was fine.
100 run times okay?

>>194003
Yes, just select "all". It is to stress more parts of your CPU to be able to rule it out as the culprit.
I recommend changing "times" to "minutes" so you will know when it is done. 30 minutes should be enough.
LinX is extremely brutal, so don't expect to use your PC for anything else while it runs.

Ran OCCT instead.
Used Power Supply test and came back just fine without any errors.

I am so perplexed as to what is the problem.

After typing this message >>194039 I started up Overwatch and my PC shut off. Furmark nor OCCT could produce this error.
