Hi dear users. I have had an problem today.



My pc:

10850K stock 4800mhz stock Kraken X73 good temps

2x16 GB DDR4 GSKILL 3000mhz XMP

Seasonic Tx-850 Ultra Titanium

Gigabyte Rtx 3090 Gaming stock power 100%

Aorus Z490 Pro Gaming

1 TB SSD



I bought machine and plugged in march 2021. No single issue,no reboots,no shutdowns. I played all games for many hours,no issues. Today…i launched Metro Exodus and after cinematic part pc just shutdown. I rebooted again and its fine again.



Happened when gpu load change from 0% to 99%.



My question is. It was psu issue or maybe other hardware?





I remember that when pc goes off ,pc case lights flickered once and monitor flickered. That not happens when i shutting down manually.



i am running now game and no shutdowns. Happened today once. Also i have pc until march 2021 and thats like today never happened.



Is psu going just bad,rma or what you recommend for me. Thank you

If it happened just once, too early to tell. Maybe a brownout?

If it happens again, wouldn't hurt to try another PSU if you have one available.

4 days ago…i launched Metro Exodus and after cinematic when is press E button part pc just shutdown. I rebooted again and its fine again.

Happened after launching game on intro advertisements part.

My question is. It was psu issue or maybe other hardware?

I remember that when pc goes off ,pc case lights flickered for a second and then turned off completely. That flicker not happens when i shutting down pc manually.

i am running now game and no shutdowns. Happened once 4 days ago. Also i have pc until march 2021 and thats like today never happened.

Is psu going just bad,rma or what you recommend for me. Thank you

ps:So I am a bit confused. Everyone is saying that it is likely the psu with a problem...but they are also saying if it was the PSU’s over current protection, then I would HAVE to switch the flip in the back. I don’t have to flip switch.

happened once in 7 months of use.Also after shutdown I don’t have to flip switch on the back of psu
