PSU Problems or Over Circuit?

Posted by Tom_OG@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments

Last night, I was playing “Peak” on Steam with some friends. After about an hour, my breaker just flipped. I went and unplugged some stuff that I wasn’t using, flipped the breaker, and tried to hop back on.

This continued to happen all night and I couldn’t play again. The longest I would last on the game was 5 minutes with nothing plugged in except my PC and monitor.

However, when I decided to not play the game, everything is fine and no tripping. I can even play other games like modded COD at high settings with my fan and lights on.

The game is new and glitchy, but is it most likely a game issue or PSU/circuit issue?

Information - I have an Alienware - Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-14700KF - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER - 1TB SSD. I believe it is a 1000 W Power Supply.

I have a 15A circuit in my room.

Any help, questions, or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
