Question Seasonic PRIME TX-850 with Rtx 3090 shutdown once.

[sew333]

My pc:

Seasonic PRIME TX-850 80Plus Titanium 850W

10850K stock 4800mhz stock Kraken X73 good temps

2x16 GB DDR4 GSKILL 3000mhz XMP

Seasonic Tx-850 Ultra Titanium

Gigabyte Rtx 3090 Gaming ( 2x8 pin , 2 separate cables )

Aorus Z490 Pro Gaming

1 TB SSD

Week ago i launched Metro Exodus and during cinematic advertisement part ( 30 fps ), pc just shutdown. I pressed only power button, rebooted again and its fine again. Happened once and i cant reproduce.

My question is. It was psu issue or maybe other hardware?

Power was in house,laptop and router dont notice anything.

i am running now game and no shutdowns. Happened once 4 days ago. Also i have pc until march 2021 and thats like today never happened.

Is psu going just bad,rma or what you recommend for me. Thank you

Also

I think it was not overcurrent protection getting triggered or yes?

That causes complete shutdown of PSU needing power cycling to clear it.

I don’t have to flip switch.

Last question. So my shutdown was not related to OCP protection? It happened when i launch Metro Exodus in advertisement part ( 30 fps ).Happened once and i cant reproduce. Also I don’t have to flip switch on the back psu. Just pressed power button in case to boot pc.

If i run without issues that apps: 3dmark fire strike, port royal, wild life, time spy, Unigine Heaven
Quake 2 Rtx, Battlefield 5 , Watch Dogs Legion, Cyberpunk 2077,Ghost Recond Wildlands, Crysis 3 remastered, Crysis 1 Remastered, Metro Exodus Enhanced, Cod Vanguard, Control <-- 24 hours without shutdown. Its fine?


So issue with shutdown not repeated all working fine. BUt i wanna ask. Is any chance that this shutdown was caused just in a bug from game or driver issue ?? Thanks

Sure, it could have been either (bug/glitch or driver). Just be aware with the hardware issue linked earlier. Something to keep an eye on.

Is this possible that i have voltage fluctuation? Also router and laptop doesnt shutoff . And laptop doesnt change to battery mode.

Not likely. That isn't how the PSU fails when the aforementioned issue happens.
