Hey everyone, I just built a new gaming PC, and everything seems to be working fine. My BIOS is updated, the temperatures range from 30-70 degrees, and all the hardware components are compatible and recognized by the system (like RAM, GPU, CPU). However, I'm experiencing random shutdowns, both when the PC is idle and under load, and I can't seem to pinpoint the cause. I've double-checked all the connections to rule out any connectivity issues and even bought a second power supply just in case the first one didn't provide enough wattage, but that didn't solve the problem either. I also switched the RAM positions from slots 2 to 4 and 4 to 2, and I made sure that I removed that small piece from the cooler that could lead to overheating. Now I'm out of ideas! Does anyone have suggestions on what could be causing these shutdowns?

Have you checked the event log for any insights regarding the shutdowns? It might help to know if it's the whole PC that shuts down or just specific components like the monitor. Do you still hear sound after the shutdown?
The event log is completely clear, like nothing happened at all. The entire PC shuts off suddenly, just like turning off a light switch. When I press the power button again, it starts up smoothly without any restarts or blue screens. FPS is always perfect, too.
