I just built a new PC, but I'm facing a strange issue: the power in my room keeps shutting off after a few hours of use. I don't think it's a wattage problem, since I only have two monitors and one gaming PC plugged into the outlet, along with a couple of phone chargers that aren't being used. The circuit is rated for 15A. Any idea what's causing this?

Have you checked what else is on the same circuit? It might help to flip the breaker and see if anything else loses power along with your setup. Sometimes other devices can overload the circuit without you realizing it.
This might be a bit different, but I recommend using a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). I have my PC and monitors connected to one because occasionally the power dips low enough to restart everything. The UPS stabilizes the voltage and gives you time to shut everything down if the power goes out completely. It could save you a lot of headaches!
I've unplugged everything else except for my computer and monitors, but I'm still having the same issue.
