Chef Sk1llz Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 So recently built my first computer, although seems like it will randomly power off example once 2 OSBuddy clients are loaded it shuts down at random. It doesn't seem to be overheating and I have plenty of hardware to be running it. What am I missing where I should be troubleshooting the issue? It is a micro tower I bought a full tower and plan on rebuilding it in new tower allowing better air flow and in general so it isn't cram.
Isolate Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) if you're sure it's not overheating how does your PSU compare to everything you've put in there? It's not safe to go as close to a PSU calculator as you can because that'd be enough to turn it on, but the moment it needs more power draw than it can get it'll just turn off Edited January 30, 2017 by Isolate I can't spell
Chef Sk1llz Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 I was pretty confident the PSU I have is more then sufficient. It's a 400W although I do have a 550W I planned on using in the new case. Running windows 7.

RDM Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Download Speedfan or CPUID Monitor, both of them can tell you your temps, cpu usage, video card usage, fan speed etc. Id also recommend running Prime95 to see if its a CPU issue ie unstable which could cause it to shutdown

Sorry still getting familiar with hardware aspect. It'd be stock.

If that doesn't ring any bells I think you're having temp issues

If that doesn't ring any bells I think you're having temp issues I'm pretty confident I know what you're referring to. So should I attempt to move it to the new case re-apply the thermal paste and see if the problem solves it self? If not order a new CPU? Should I get same one or is my notherboard able to handle an upgraded one?
Chef Sk1llz Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Now this is in the new larger case right now. I'm not sure what temps i should be at or really what these is telling me. Although some feedback would be nice don't mind compensating you for your help. @Isolate @RDM

AMD cpu's are know to be frying pans. Run Prime95 for 20-30 mins while doing a cpu stress test to see if its the cpu itself that's not stable with the core clock
Chef Sk1llz Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 I ran the stress test the temps went up a little, but never shutdown or overheated. Is it worth adding aboard case fan? How do I know if my case can have another?
RDM Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Im doing the stress test on mine atm since im overclocking it, temp 1 which is the cpu is at 69c on water and stock voltage. Link a webpage to your case https://gyazo.com/843a0f5bb6a69bf0cdc51aa26a3c11a3 Edited February 1, 2017 by RDM
