I thought it was fixed, but it shut off twice on me today. I'm stumped.

See my post above about testing your RAM.

What brand was the old one? Corsair TX850. It was 3 1/2 years old. That is not a bad stretch. I have rarely had a PSU last that long. |

Could it be related to iRacing? It has only ever shut off when in an iRacing session or when loading an iRacing session. Actually yesterday was the first time it shut off while loading an iRacing session and it did it twice.
I did a test today. I turned on the PC and did a little internet browsing, then left it on. It has been on now for over 7 hours straight with no problems. I haven't done anything except move the mouse occasionally to make sure it doesn't go to sleep. I'm going to try to go into an iRacing session and see how long it lasts. More to come.

Test failed. The pc was on for over 9 hours straight with no problems.
I went into an iRacing practice session and it shut off within 15 minutes.
I'm tired of messing with it. I ordered a new pc. It was time for an upgrade anyway.

I guess since you ordered a new one this is of no use, but I'll post it anyway.
I was going to suggest you try other games to see if it did it then also, because if it did, it may well be the PCI power cable on the GPU drawing to much juice, or having small short circuits because of dust.

Thank you for the advice Dan. I would still like to figure out what is wrong with it because I have a friend who is interested in buying it. That just gave me an idea. I still have the old video card, there is nothing wrong with it, I just wanted to upgrade. I can put that back in and try it to see if it is the video card or Windows 10. Those are the 2 things I changed before I started having problems. |
