PC won't turn on after minimum of half hour of gaming.

[FinnLikesCheese]

Hello world of PC users and gamers,

I'm having my (gaming) PC now for over a year, I'm having this problem since around april I think? Anyways, if I am on my computer, whatever I am doing, longer than half an hour and I turn my PC off, it wont turn on. Not even the lights of my PC. Normally for half an hour I need to wait two to three hours to turn it on again, but I don’t want that! I have tried so many things, like changing PSU, other motherboard, other RAM, I checked all the temperatures multiple times and it's not over heating too. I don’t know what to do anymore, what I do now to keep my PC on, is using a YT video like a fireplace of 10 hours on both my monitors (I have 2). Thank you for reading this, I hope there is someone that can help me!

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you have some dirty power there and your PSU is going into overcurrent protection mode where they shut off for a while. You might be able to coax it back to life sooner buy unplugging the PSU from the wall for a bit and I bet ya' that it will fire up faster than waiting a few hours.

if that turns out to be the key then you will want a good UPS for this computer.
