Did you mean: 

My PC will shut off after about an hour of flying...

I have built a new PC.  750W power supply, 16G ram, I7 6700 pcu, MSI gaming board, 1070 gpu.  I use flynside to run x plane 11 in VR with Oculus.  I can fly for about an hour then the PC will usually just shut off and then restart on its own.  Sometimes I have had the screen just go black but sound is still there.  Anyone have any ideas??

Use fan control software and set a custom curve to maintain around 60degrees. Run this for any games.

Look, man. I only need to know one thing: where they are.

The best part is that @ColinB is not the OP and never posted in this thread before.

Please moderator, keep to the subject as well.
Not every person who is interested in this valuable subject is a poster.
It makes it so much easier and so more professional to keep to the op's post.
Surely there is somewhere else for all this "I love or I hate you" stuff ??

Maybe we should start a "don't post to this thread" thread for you MrB?  😄

If your computer is shutting off, generally in my experience (20 years) the PSU is the culprit.
