    So i recently got my GT83VR and its running really well!

    However i am having an issue where my computer would just randomly shut down

    I have been monitoring temps, CPU and GPU is never going over 80c

    The usage is not close to 100% either.

    I have been tinkering a lot with the system to the point where i have even done a clean install of windows however the problem still persists.

    I have managed to figure out that if i disable SLI the shut downs stop.

    I am suspecting a power issue?

    Any thoughts guys?

    I have permanently disabled SLI... None of the games i play support it anyway lol.

    Check if your battery is securely plugged in, otherwise I guess your power supply is in bad shape

    Could be the GTX 1070 bug from 2016.

    Yes still under warranty. Only issue is i am over seas at the moment. Would prefer to fix the issue myself. I am hoping its just a loose cable somewhere just have no idea where to start.

    @Falkentyne I read about this but never heard of it affecting GT83VRs only GT73?

    Could it be an issue with the SLI Bridge?

    Update: Could be an over heating issue - been monitoring my temps more and using cool boost permanently. No shut downs so far. Been playing a few hours of GTA V
