I've been experiencing an issue where my PC shuts down randomly while I'm using it. I was playing Roblox with friends when it happened, and initially, I thought it might be a power outage, but my monitor stayed on and my phone was still charging. I suspected it could be overheating, so I cleaned out the dust and let it cool down. After that, I ran some benchmarks and checked the temperatures of my GPU and CPU, and everything seemed normal. The power supply is fairly new, as I bought a be quiet! system power 9 cm 600w in January 2025, and I'm using an adapter from UK to EU. This is the second time it has shut off.

Just a heads up, a 600w power supply may not be sufficient for your setup, especially with an RTX 3050. It could be worth looking into a more powerful PSU if the issues persist.
How old is your system? It might be a good idea to run a memory test with something like memtest86 for a few hours. There's a chance your RAM could be causing the shutdowns.
I'm not sure about the age since I got it from my brother, but I played some games and watched YouTube for about 3 hours without any crashes.
That’s interesting! A repair shop recommended this PSU when I had a problem with my old one, so I thought it should be good enough.
