Full PC Shutdown when playing.

My PC sometimes shutting down fully (like Power loss).
Usually it happens when entering new location.
But recently it happened 3 times in 10 minutes playtime just playing/slashing monsters in party.

I tried to run DX12/11 and Vulkan as renderers.
I tried to run multiple tests with OCCT program, CPU/RAM/GPU - tests are fine.
Once I had not a Full PC shutdown, but Game Crash with an error "Bad allocation".

What can I test/try to fix the issue?

My specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super
G.Skill Ripjaws S5 2x16Gb DDR5 6000 Mhz

What's the manufacturer & model of your computer's power supply unit?
Having spent thousands of euros on Path of Exile over the years, I will not be further supporting it financially until and unless GGG resumes offering Technical Support.

My PSU Chieftec Core BBS-600S
I tested Power Consumption - My CPU is about 90W + GPU 220W. 10 Minutes - no problems in OCCT
same here.
i had several reboots like a power loss.

my system:

AMD Ryzen 9 7900x3d
Asus Prime x670p
Asus Strix RTX3080
64gb ram ddr5

Sometimes i can play some hrs until the pc will shut down several times like a power loss. its only when i play poe2!

I will try to take a closer look to power consumption while gaming, thank you.
600w should technically be ok with a 4070 but it depend on the quality of the PSU, I never heard of Chieftec so you might want to look at reviews. One thing to know is to never cheap out on a PSU. If your PSU is old, it might be the time to change it.

For a 3080, you definitely need a 850w PSU, that GPU is power hungry.

Little update
For me it seems the problem was in CPU temps.
When I try to load new location it jumps ~10 Celsius up in ~0,5s.
Changed thermal paste - it worked (almost).
Sometimes game just crashes without any errors, but it least my PC is not shutting down - I consider this as progress.
Lock your framerate at 30...

Really zero reason to play this game at anything other the ultra performance and lock framerate at 30 for everything.
