Can you get a program such as msi afterburner/hwinfo and look at your cpu/gpu temps? Or even just go into the bios and see what the cpu is running at. Another thing would be to reseat all the psu cables and check you've not missed any, as well as booting with one stick of ram to see if that helps. Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/buildapc on Reddit: SO's PC Shutting down after Furmark Test
March 2, 2024 -

Thank you for giving your time to help me with this.

I am new to building PC and built a PC for my SO for her first PC. When she played BG3, her PC suddenly shuts down after opening a New Game. I am confused to why is this happening. I tried running Furmark to stress test the GPU and bam, after 1-2 minutes of stress testing, her PC suddenly shut down. For reference, she's using these specs for her PC :

CPU : i5 14600kf

GPU : RTX4070 Gigabyte Windforce OC

PSU : Corsair RM750e 80+ Gold

RAM : VENGEANCE LPX Series 32GB

Motherboard : Asrock B760M Pro RS/D4 WiFi

CPU Cooler : Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120SE

I don't know if this is helpful but the Motherboard's PSC (Post Status Checker) in the VGA, DRAM, BOOT section turns red when booting and it turns off after finishing boot up.

Kinda sad that my GF's first PC experience will be this. I feel really bad and want to make it up to her by fixing it if possible.

Do you guys/girls have any idea what's causing this?

Just as I am typing this, the PC shutdown by itself in the lockscreen after restarting by itself.

edit: grammar

edit 2 : Ran a Furmark CPU Burner test for 2 minutes and it didn't shut down

edit 3 : Changed RTX4060 to RTX4070 cause my brains fried
