Hey guys, I need help with something. My PC shutdowns every 30-40 minutes without no evidence of what it's killing it. It's been like this for months and it's terrible for gaming in it lol.
It's a complex case of a PC that works but turns itself off every time in like 40-60 minutes of use.
To start things off, it's a simple/humble build that I use cause I'm from the 3rd world. I'm going to separate the build, then what I tried and some other info that I think is pertinent.
The build:
CPU: i5 - 2500k
Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M LX
Ram: 16gb DDR3 (2 Sticks of 8gb)
Storage: 2 HDD's (500gb empty) (320gb main)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5570 (1gb)
Here's what I already tried:
I've tried switching the RAMs, I've tried cleaning them with an eraser (the right way).
Tried another motherboard with another CPU (i3 550k), didn't work.
I thought it was the HDD but I added a new one and still same issue. (Yes, I've tried them individually like most of the parts)
I've tried taking the GPU off, same issue.
I've tried taking the Power button off, yes, a friend of mine told me that it could be the case cause it had happened to him.
Just so y'all know, none of the parts are overheating and thermal paste has been added in the processor and even in that lil part that has two plastic pins that lock a heat dissipator.
I've switched the PSU thinking it would help... It didn't.
I've switched cables for the PSU, still nun.
I've switched the Outlet as well (in another room)
It's not a timer or something like that, I've tried looking for everything related, found nothing.
That's pretty much it. At the moment I'm trying to fix something that I think might have something to do with that. My HDD is almost always at 100% use, my friend is helping me.
Also, whenever it's close to turning itself off, the HDD that's empty always turns it off first (you can hear it) and then after a few seconds the whole thing shutdown.
Anyways, if you're a tech god, I hope you understand that I'm not a tech god. I'm as dumb as a rock, but I'm really trying.
