I'm having a frustrating issue with my computer. Whenever I try to play games like Palworld and modded Minecraft, my PC unexpectedly shuts down, leaving me with a black screen. I recently upgraded to an RTX 3060 but I'm not sure if that's causing the problem. I also swapped out the PSU, but that didn't help either. I've checked temperatures, and my GPU stays below 60°C and my CPU under 70°C before it shuts off. I'm starting to wonder if my motherboard could be the culprit. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be going wrong? Here are my specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: RTX 3060 12GB
- Motherboard: A320M-HDV r4.0
- PSU: High Power 600W.

When troubleshooting, make sure to double-check all your cables to ensure everything is properly connected. If the power just cuts out, it might indicate a hardware failure rather than a software issue. Since you mentioned the PSU swap didn’t help, you might be looking at a possible GPU issue as well.
It sounds like your PC might be completely losing power instead of just the monitor going black. Have you checked if there are any power issues like a loose connection or a faulty PSU? If everything seems fine with the connections, it could be worth testing your RAM or running a diagnostic check on the motherboard.
