I have recently aquired a TTX3 Multi System.
From cold boot, after a while (hard to tell how long as it varies : the shortest was 10 minutes, the longest about half an hour), whether I'm playing a game or just letting the Attract Mode run on its own, the system suddenly shuts down, then restarts automatically, then shuts down again very quickly. I have to let it rest for a while before making it run again for a longer time.
First I thought it was because or heat, but the HW monitor in BIOS tells me the CPU is barely over 50°C and the "System" is about 35°C so I don't think it comes from here.
Inside of the unit is very clean, the previous owner tool very good care of it.
Anyway, I disabled the FAN monitoring, 'cos the "Target temperature" for CPU was pretty low (choices are DISABLED, 40°C and 45°C, 45 being the default setting) and first I thought it was because the fan was trying to cool it down to less than 45°C.
After disabling FAN monitoring I believed it was better but in fact it only lasted longer but I think it's just a coincidence.
Anyway I'm trying to figure out what is happening, why is the system suddenly and brutally shutting down (after 2 ou 3 shutdowns one after another, it switches to Windows check & repair procedure, that's why I can tell it's not a clean shutdown).
I also thought about instability from the PSU but in the HW monitoring section I could check the voltages and they look really stable to me.
Is there any other thing I should check on the system ? Any program I could use that could reveal a failure somewhere ?
I checked in the Windows Event Viewer to try and get data from any (critical ?) error, but to no avail.
I repeat, this happens even in the BIOS, so it cannot be a software/HDD issue.
Any advice is welcome and I'm ready to provide with any additional required information to pinpoint the source of these shutdowns.
Do you have any ideas ?
