New PC randomly cuts power while playing war thunder

[TheGeeza]

New PC randomly cuts power while playing war thunder. I play war thunder for about 5-10 minutes before the PC completely cuts power. It seems to just be while playing this game as i have tested other games since i noticed the problem. Could this be a faulty motherboard? My friend built the PC and told me that he had dropped the processor during installation. It landed on the top and not the bottom .Thanks in advance for any help

Does it come up with any error messages when you switch it back on?

 

[TheGeeza]

Hi, No there are no error messages. It has completely cut power. I did have to restart it manually via the front panel, However the PC does restart automatically now.

Have you overclocked anything? What sort of temps are you getting?

 

[TheGeeza]

No overclocks and the temps seem fine. 32 degrees on CPU under light load and 27 degrees on the GPU.

Have you tried reinstalling the game(s) that are causing the problem? I doubt its a hardware thing as you have mentioned it only occurs on one game.

 

[TheGeeza]

I've tried re installing the game and it stopped the power cuts for a couple of seconds and then it started again.

 

[steaky360]

I'm pretty baffled to be honest. Try to reinstall the game again would be my suggestion, its very strange that it worked 'temporarily'.

 

[TheGeeza]

I tried re-installing the game and I still get the same problem. Thanks for the help though

Check your RAM with Memtest, let it run overnight. There should be zero errors in the morning.

 

[TheGeeza]

It has started to do it just cause 2 as well now although it has stopped doing it in war thunder :/

 

[steaky360]

Might be worth trying to run a few tests, run memtest as ubuysa suggested above and also run a few benchmarks (trying to stress your GPU/CPU) see if it crashes at all during those.

When I had a Samsung RV510 laptop, myself and my son used to play it, one day after not very long, the laptop kept crashing, so I removed the game, rebooted the laptop, and then I reinstalled the game............and everything was fine!

Thanks for the help. It turned out to be a faulty power supply
