Heat related issue, reapply thermal paste, clean fans etc, dont be stupid.
Cooper Flores
Make sure your CPU isn't overheating. Download like OCCT or something and run it to see if it over heats. Might need a new cooler and some thermal paste.
Lincoln Ross
this
Mason Reed
>increase max processor rate ???
clean your shit. all of it
Jordan Roberts
So, not just the fans in the power supply? All fans? I checked MSI. 40-50 degrees. If the first reply doesn't work I'll do this, thanks.
Juan Peterson
check your thermals using "real temp" and check for thermal shut down. Maybe try updating your motherboard bios by flashing it
Jaxson Wright
>So, not just the fans in the power supply? All fans? The CPU fans (core, video) in particualr.
Jeremiah Campbell
I had this problem my bois just needed to be updated. As well who ever is helping you is a fucking idiot, what does proccessor rate mean? Like the Ghz?
Lucas Russell
CX PSUs are Shit. Get an EVGA GS, G2, G3, PS, P2, T2, B2, B3, or GQ. Check CPU temps. Also run memtest.
1. check temps while gaming 2. update bios, windows update 3. try gaming without gpu (assuming you have an intel cpu with integrated graphics). could very well be gpu instability/driver crash. other anons probably know how to better troubleshoot this sort of issue, but running without gpu in the pci slot is one way to do it.
Adam Walker
overheating dipshit
Adrian Smith
go to your motherboard manufactures website and look for a software update, tell me the mobo version and ill send u a link
You see, Mr. President...when your PC overheats, it shuts itself off to prevent serious damage. It's happening during gaming because your computer is working hard (thereby getting hot), and your cooling isn't keeping up with the heat.
Josiah Diaz
thank you. Everyone was talking about BIOS and I was totally lost, this should help out.
Hudson Perez
For everyone who asked, my motherboard is ASUS branded.
Nicholas Phillips
You need to go back to a save point on your computer before you installed that bullshit to make sure you didn’t get a virus. Your computer auto saves freeze points in time that it can go back too. Somebody here will rasily know the exact name of what i am talking about it is just slipping my mind at the moment. If it doesn’t work then ou have atleast weeded out the thought of a virus from all the gay donkey porn you downloaded for your home screen
Better save all the shit you know you need on a seperate hard drive before you do it faggot. Your welcome
Aaron Flores
yeah i was the only one talking about bios and sent u that link
Colton Miller
not this
Nolan Cox
I've had this issue with laptops because the processor was overheating and would kill it. I keep trying to fucking tell people not to game on laptops and everyone's like "hur dur alienware makes gaming laptops so fuck you" like a give a fuck and don't know what I'm talking about.
Joseph Evans
Nobody asked you
Juan King
I had that same issue twice for two different reasons, A. You accidentally overclocked your cpu in the bios, reset it. Or B.your heatsink isint situated properly, check those
Benjamin Young
Well, I run a desktop so it's all good there.
Mason Nguyen
nobody asked for ur shit advice on save points. that won't fix shit and he'll lose data since that store point
Joseph Davis
We need your IP address in order to help you?
Tyler Richardson
op be more specific what type of asus
Thomas Williams
OP got this problem right after he downloaded some bullshit, go be a faggot somewhere else
Ethan Adams
Honestly??? do you know how to torrent? go get revo uninstaller and start uninstalling things with the advanced option, block programs from startup, run malwarebytes Full scan with rootkit enabled once (takes HOURS dont be lazy FUCK) delete everything it finds except those things you are 100% are not viruses.
Basic shit man, stop being a normie FUCK i hate this world.
Ryan Reyes
Reset your pc, if it doesnt work after that try to borrow a freinds psu, if that doesnt work test your graphics card on another computer, if that works then your cpu is fucked. Its probably not ram
William Rodriguez
easily a coincidence and what virus shuts of a pc only when gaming. how fucked in the head are you
Jose Cruz
man im leaving op is a fuckin idiot, download the newest bios and install it
Jack Barnes
The kind that makes your mom squirt out little shits like you. He needs to go back to that point in time to weed it out. If he is having heating issues with a gay assass game he should have gotten heating issues well before this. OP needs to do a recovery. And you need to be late term aborted
Jose Barnes
My PC would do that when playing pubg after I overclocked my cpu. Raising the voltage a few ticks ended up fixing it.
Brandon Jackson
Pic has greatest hair dye I've ever seen. Top quality for sure
Gavin Butler
Your hardware stats and age of components please.
Jason Wright
How does the computer shut down?
I had an issue where my computer would freeze, often with whatever audio was playing screeching at me, and the only solution was doing a hard shut down.
I deleted and reinstalled my nvidia drivers and haven't had a problem since.
Asher Lewis
make sure your processor's heat sink is properly seated. I recently dealt with what seemed like random shutdowns, crashes, and blue screens. Turned out to be my processor overheating because the heat sink was becoming loose. Buy and reapply thermal paste, and make sure the heatsink is on tight.
Xavier Gonzalez
fpbp /thread Get cpu-z or some related app that detects cpu temp Look up how to apply thermal paste to cpu and don't be a retard
Asher Perez
First two replies spot on, your computer is overheating. Clean the inside, clean the fans, if that doesn't work it could be a number of things, could even be the motherboard reading the temp wrong.
Dominic Hughes
There seems to be a consistency with people talking about overclocked CPUs. There's a couple things on my agenda for later.
1) reapply thermal paste 2) clean fans 3) software update for motherboard/BIOS update (possibly the same thing, will research later) 4) Check if CPU is fucked (replace if it is) 5) reset win10 to factory settings (about time I did that anyway) 6) Fix overclocked CPU (if it's overclocked) 7) Check if heat sink is properly seated You guys have been a help.
Connor Peterson
Not OP, but he's said it just turns completely off. Like if he yanked the plug on it.
