Hey everyone, I need some help! I was playing GTA V on my GTX 970 when my PC randomly shut down after about an hour of gameplay. Now, it won’t boot at all, and I’m completely stumped as to what could have caused this. Any ideas?
1 Answer
Sounds like you need to troubleshoot a bit. First, check if your PSU is delivering power. Try removing your GPU and leaving just one stick of RAM installed, making sure it’s in the right slot. Then see if it boots up. There could be several reasons why it won’t start.

Thanks a lot! I think I might have figured out my issue… But I should let you know, I’m not super knowledgeable about PC parts. So, my GTX 970 needs at least 500W, but my PSU only delivers 400W. I’m hoping the card’s fine and it’s just the power supply that needs replacing.
