Answers
D.
Confirm the power cables are well connected.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Check the power supply wattage rating.

A possible cause of the desktop randomly shutting down during operations is that the power supply is not able to provide enough power for the high-end graphics card. The power consumption of today's graphics cards has increased a lot, and the top models demand between 110 and 270 watts from the power supply1. Therefore, the technician should check the power supply wattage rating and make sure it is sufficient for the graphics card and the rest of the components. Confirming the power supply is grounded, checking whether the power supply is redundant, or confirming the power cables are well connected are not likely to solve this problem.
