    Hi, I was wondering has anyone else had any of these issues.
    My pc is randomly powering off at specific points when I play pubg, no BSOD.
    I've tested the PSU/Ram/Cpu/Gpu and none seem to have any issues, I'm hoping its just a bug in windows.

    Something is faulty, most likely the PSU? Windows bug wouldn't cause a hard shutdown.

    It's probably something going funky with the PSU under heavy load.

    Thermal shutdown may not cause any events either

    I used a simple psu tester and watched and no errors from it. Not perfect test though

    Cleaned out the psu and so far it hasn't happened again. Moved house twice in last two months so got very dusty. I'm hoping that's all it was.

    GPU has enough power? All the aux power slots are connected?

    Its a 1080 so only needs one 8pin.
    Both 8pins for CPU are connected. 1950x.
    When I'm home i will run Furmark & prime together for an hour see what happens.

    I have Prime95 and Furmark running running at the same time. Its running without issue now.
    Fix:
    Cleaning out the PSU of dust from the move.
    Cause:
    My Stupidity in forgetting the PSU when I cleaned the rest of the system after the moves :D. (Their was loads of dust).

    Issue still kept happening, replaced psu and continued.
    Finally fixed by disabling Windows fast startup. For some reason windows fast startup is known to have a bug that causes this in Windows 10.
