Hi there I just got my pc repaired because it constantly shuts itself down and turns itself back on - but it turns out it only does that when playing minecraft, I can play GTA V, NSUNS4, SMITE, etc.
Processor - Intel Core I7-7700 3.6GHz (Quad Core)
CPU Cooling - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
Motherboard - Z270 Chipset Motherboard
Memory - Ironside Alloy 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2400Mhz
Primary Hard Drive - 512GB Ironside Titanium Series SSD
Secondary Hard Drive - 1TB
Graphics Card - Geforce GTX 1080 8GB (why am I playing minecraft? idk. pvp is fun.)
Power Supply - EVGA 600 Watt 80 Plus Bronze
I hear a whining noise coming from around my gpu area and then my pc turns off.
Works fine on almost every other game. please help.
UPDATE: Found out unlimited fps causes it to crash, but not 60-255? Someone help please I want as much fps as I can get.
It sounds like a hardware problem. I would check for faults in you GPU, RAM, CPU, motherboard, or any SATA/IDE devices.
Are you using any shaders?
By the way you describe the noise, it sounds like coil whine, which is normal in most cases. The nextt hing I will say that has a chance of working is clearing out all of the dust from your PC, things can get hairy if not taken care of for awhile. This could also be your power supply. If you can, try another power supply and see what happens.
There is no point to getting 1000 FPS (or whatever) if your monitor only refreshes 60 (or 120, etc) times per second, so you should limit the framerate, either with the framerate slider or Vsync unless you are doing a performance test (Vsync will also prevent screen tearing, but may cause input lag, in any case Minecraft can only recognize up to 20 actions per second since the game loop itself runs at that rate).
Of course, a heavy load should not cause a computer to shut down under any circumstances; you may want to use a program like GPU-Z to monitor your temperatures.
The noise is likely coil whine, and is harmless (although annoying to some).
That being said, the coil whine itself is likely not the cause. When a PC completely turns off (not just a game crash or Windows crash but an entire shutdown or restart), especially during demanding situations like games, it is almost always one of two things, and that is power or heat issues.
Lastly, if you're overclocking, ensure it's stable (maybe try playing at stock) and that your PC isn't having power issues.

Curse PremiumMind posting a DxDiag? I believe I know your issue, have to confirm it
Former everything.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
