Hey so I have struggled with this problem for quite some time now. While playing my pc ramdomly shuts down and restarts. In event viewer I just get a crash notice, nothing really helpful. I upgraded to a 3080 at the beginning of the year and got a new Psu to support it; Seasonic Focus Px Fully Modular Power Supply, 80Plus, PLatinum. I´m thinking the psu might be busted or not sufficient but I can´t refund it anymore so I was wondering if any of you guys have any idea? Also I´m undervolting my system since I get fewer restarts that way; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQHyoNr-pQY&t=4s this as a base but using just +500 core clock since it ran more stable. Use my pc a lot for music and recording and unplugged all guitars and stuff, problem still persists. Happens while playing everything besides league of legends ^^, ranges from Jedi survivor to Mafia 3. Bios and drivers should all be up to date.
Would really appreciate the help! Cheers…

Focusrite 3rd gen solo as audio interface, dunno if it´s really a difference in power consumption

Probably heat related. Have you done any thermal testing on your CPU and GPU yet?
Temps are fine but Ill test again. When gaming it´s aboout 70-80°C depending on game.
I don’t think we know enough.
In the Event Viewer you just get the kernal power entries around the time of the shutdown? Nothing else?
Your specs are fine, but what is the wattage on the psu? Sounds like you got a shit ton of stuff plugged into the PC one way or the other because of your music… but it also sounds like you unplugged everything and tested.
So, you don’t reboot during LoL but everything else you do.
How extensively have you tested this? Like how many (rough estimate) LoL games have you played since upgrading to the new PSU/Vidcard combo?
Did this all start immediately after upgrading?
Event viewer: Event 41 Kernel Power
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
Before and after I get: Event 6008
The previous system shutdown at 13:28:55 on 14/11/2023 was unexpected.
Event 1101
Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0
Thanks for you answer.
I just get sth like “unexpected shutdown” but let me check it again after it happens again.
Damn, forgot to write that down. It´s an 850 wattage one.
Yeah I unplugged everything and it didn´t really work any better. Problem is I can´t really recreate the problem. Sometimes it works for a bit, other times it crashes every 5 minutes…
Yes, only while playing games but yeah lol is the only thing that runs consistently (haven´t tried cs2 or sth tho). I would say I put quite a few 100 games in since I upgraded so thats quite some “testing” ^^.
Hmm I think at the start it was quite fine, but I don´t really remember anymore when exactly this all started… Could also be I wasn´t playing that demanding games back then.
