I just bought a Geforce 2080TI Matrix.

When i play games it works fine for a hour or 2. Then my PC just dose a fast reset, powers everything down and starts up again.

So i was wondring, could it be my "older" PSU causing this problem?

My specs are: I7-8700K 32GB ram 3x SSD 1 net card 4-5 Fans Corsair H100i XFX ProSeries XXX Edition 850W PSU

Even though my PSU got alot of power, could it be too old? OR could it be another problem?

  • It definitely could be the power supply. Do you have another one you can swap it out with for testing purposes?

  • sadly no, would have done it, if i had. but would a new PSU on the same W as my old one be the same or dose new PSUs have new standards?

  • A new PSU can replace an older one as long as it has sufficient power. I would also check the CPU temps when under load, with CoreTemp. There are a lot of possibilities right now. Also look in Event Viewer and see if it could be a software-related issue.

  • Do you have a spare hard drive? You could put a clean install of Windows on a spare drive and try playing your game on it for a while. That will tell you if it's the hardware (if the problem persists) or a software issue (if a clean install solves it).
