Windows 10: Gaming pc randomly shutting off while gaming with no warning

I'm about at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on. My custom built gaming pc has been randomly crashing while i've been playing games, i think ones with lots of particle effects are a big trigger for it. Notable examples are Final Fantasy XIV and Infinity Nikki. There is nothing showing up in event viewer, and there is no minidump or bluescreen. It just freezes for a second and then powers off. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX 6600 if thats relevant.

Random shut down while gaming

Everything with the exception of the case is brand new. It's a new 650W PSU. The games I play are maxed, but I've also recently discovered that the random shut down will happen while doing light workloads like writing in a word document, no games open.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately the PC will still randomly shut down, even when a game isn't open.

 

Computer randomly shutting down during gaming

Hello,

My computer is randomly shutting down while playing intensive games such as path of exile or guild wars 2. I will be in game, and instantly the computer screen turns black, and then restarts - no blue screen or error message.

It happens randomly, sometimes ill go the entire night with no issues, others it will restart multiple times a night. As far as I can tell, temperatures are fine. PC is only a couple of years old, was built brand new with all new components. I don't overclock.

Any help would be appreciated.
