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 OC

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 when is press E button 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

ps:

ps:

I repeated launching game maybe 50 times again and no shutdown.

Hard to say if it just happened once. Could have just been a hiccup in power just long enough to cause your system to power off.

If you keep using the system without any issues, I'd chalk it up to just being a fluke. If the issue were to persist, then you should start trying to figure out the problem.

If it doesn't happen anymore then you should be fine, demanding games can make your GPU go to 100% load. You can try to undervolt it or lower it's clock speeds.
