Hi All,
My PC has suddenly started to experience some abrupt power loss. This happened first some time last week, and as a one off - didn't think too much of it - but last night occurred 5-6 times, before leaving it for the night.
The first time, the PC was unresponsive even when trying to power back on via the front IO. It wasn't until I turned off/on via the PSU switch and tried the IO again that things sprung back to life. Since then however... I have not had to do this again and the IO has power cycled correctly.
I don't believe this is a temp issue. Whilst this first occurred in game (I didn't have a temp reading then). The subsequent times last night have occurred both in and out of games, within the first 5/10 minutes of booting. The PC seems to boot fine and without issue. It does make a beep but it always has - suspect this is just a successful POST noise. Where I have been able to test temps, I could see my CPU idling at 33/34c and GPU at 44c. I have had a visual check and PC seems fine when it is running, although I haven't found myself catching the moment it dies.
Specs below:
*** I have since upgraded this to 32GB - this was done a few months ago and have been running fine until last week, so doubtful this is the issue.
I have raised a support ticket into PCSpecialists, but appreciate any input here from you fine folk!
