Hello again everyone,

Currently, as title says, my pc shutsdown while gaming, only when it's high resourcing games, small games like Bloons TD doesn't effect the pc or doesn't shut it down anytime.
I'm also using a UPS, I have no idea if it limits the power on the PSU.
If you need more info let me know please :(


PS: My pc specs are listed under my profile, if someone could help, would be awesome.
 
So other can assist let get a speccy report.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
 
Small update:

A game like Lost Ark or New World would shut down my PC after a while

A game like League of Legends is perfectly fine.

(it's not related to temperatures, almost 100% sure about it)

Ok I did clear Driver Booster, I don't even know why it was installed, I guess a friend of mine recommended it and I did.

I disabled Hibernate, thank you Rustys!

I'll probably get a new PSU if PSU is the issue. The only thing I see it can be the issue is for sure the PSU.

Hey @Malnutrition @Rustys

After changing the PSU (from 650W to 1200W), I'm not having issues anymore.
Do you still want me to do the "MINITOOLBOX" things? or no need. (since you guys did help me with the Driver Booster thing)

Thank you for everything. <3 you are all amazing
