Hello, I am new to PC and just built my first PC. I haven’t had any trouble hooking it up and setting it up. Computer is fine while browsing, etc and basically not gaming.
When I was playing a few games like RDR2 and Outer Worlds, the computer randomly shut down and restarted. No errors popped up, and event viewer says kernel power.
I have checked the following:
- Cinebench test comes out fine
- Memory test is fine
- CPU and GPU is not overheating, temps are good
- Voltage appears to be normal
- Stats seemed normal right before computer shut off while gaming which happens a few minutes after actually playing the game. Not doing 4K or anything crazy and it was just those two games.
- I’ve reseated the RAM, cooler, GPU just incase and the cables going to PSU.
- Plugged computer into outlet directly thinking it was the surge protector
Computer specs:
- Intel i9-13900k
- MSI Z690 Carbon Wifi motherboard
- 32gb RAM (16x2) Corsair Dominator - 5600mhz
- Corsair 1000 watt 80+ platinum PSU
- Corsair iCUE H150i AIO Cooler (top exhaust)
- AMD Radeon RX7900 XT
- 3 Front intake fans (iCUE)
- 1 back exhaust fan (Corsair case fan)
I do have ONE pci-e cable coming from the power supply and the other end has TWO 6+2 pins. Could not using two separate cables be causing the issue?
