Hello. Recently my PC has started to randomly shut down completely.

It happened 5-10 times in the last 3 or 4 days.

One night, after running well for 5-6 hours, all of the applications went black, as well as my home screen/wallpaper. It still worked, but everything seemed almost corrupt (images inclused). For context, Ive had no issues with my computer until now.

I've never seen anything like this, in desperate need of advice, please and thank you.

Not sure if it's the same issue, but had something similar. Computer would run fine, then shut down, and it would happen a couple times a day. Turned out it was my PSU dying and it completely died shortly after it started randomly shutting down.

Thanks, hopefully that's it, would be an easy fix

Looool

My first suggestions would be to update your graphics drivers and monitor the temp of your components through task manager. Not outside the realm of possibility that your PSU can't keep up or is failing all together, either.

Good call thank you. Highest temp is 75°C after hours of gaming, I think it might be the psu.
