I’ve been having this frustrating issue where my PC shuts down randomly when I’m playing demanding games like Helldivers, UFC, and F1. It won’t restart until I unplug and plug the power supply back in. While gaming, I don’t get any overheating warnings, but the shutdowns are becoming really annoying. Any ideas on what’s going on?
1 Answer
It sounds like your power supply unit might be failing. Random shutdowns can often be a sign that the PSU can’t handle the load from your games, especially if you’ve been pushing your hardware hard.
