Installed 1080Ti & now comp keeps shutting down

Had issues with my Corsair 750 a couple of years back, pc rebooting, not shutting down properly etc after only 2 years of use.

Stuck in an EVGA G2 850 and it's been solid ever since. Including a total MB/CPU/GPU update last year.
 
Does the shutdown generate an error in the Windows Event Viewer?

If the generated error is "windows didn't shut down properly" (or something along those lines), it's more likely something physical is causing the shutdown. I had this issue as well, when I replaced my 970 with 1080, everything ran fine for a few months until the sudden shutdowns happen. It was basically like someone yanked the cable out of the socket kind of sudden shutdown, not a BSOD. I sent the GPU off for a RMA, but it wasn't. I eventually replaced my Seasonic X-850 PSU with a Superflower Leadex 650W PSU, everything has been working without a hitch since, so I guess it was the PSU that went bonkers.

I tried reinstalling OS, didn't work, reseating the card to other slots, didn't work. Replacing the GPU back to 970, only changed the amount of time between sudden shutdowns from a minute to a few more minutes.
 
Very interesting. I've been using the same PSU for two+ years, been used with two 980s and now running two 1080s no sweat. Was running 3770k @ 4.5, switched a few months ago to 6850k @ 4.3, two SSDs, one HDD and a h100i. All on 2yo Corsair 750W.

Different strokes. My 750 watt corsair is about a decade old. Started off with:

Q6600 build paired with a Radeon x1900xtx > 8800GT > HD4850 > HD5870

Migrated to my current machine:

i7 3770k paired with GTX 680 > GTX 680 SLI > GTX 980Ti

Zero issues, but doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone. I have full confidence it would continue to function flawlessly in my next build, but I do plan on retiring it after this one simply because I want a more modern unit that doesn't power the fan on during light loads

Same here.
I've had my TX 750 for around 7 or 8 years running my Plex/media/file/ server 24 7 @ 100% since I installed it.
Been thru countless upgrades, now it's running PII 975BE @ 4GHz, Asrock 880GM-LE FX, 23Tb with 13 spinner drives, 2 SATA RAID cards, 8Gb 1600 RAM, Sunbeam fan controller,H60, 3x 200mm- 4x 180mm fans, in a Blackhawk Ultra.
Never a whimper or a peep out of it since I replaced the Ultra X3 1Kw that died in 2 years. I paid $100 for it.
And it survived 4 different moves and 2 hurricanes, I will buy another Corsair when this one goes. ;)
 
It's the power supply. 700W running a 1080Ti, 3 hard drives, fans, i7-7700, 16GB ram, etc? You might need a new 750W or 850W.

It might be the PSU, but it isn't because 700watts isn't enough for that setup. I've measured power usage on my setup with a 980Ti, 3770k @ 4.3, 32GB ram 3 SSD's, 1 HDD, 3 optical drives and according to my UPS, it pulls barely over 500 watts from the wall playing BF1... And that's including the two monitors I have attached to it. People SERIOUSLY over estimate the power they need.

Exactly, for 1 graphics card you normally only need a 650W max, 550W should be fine too. If you heavily OCed your rig, I would go with a 750W, but you shouldn't need more. But I have to say that my Corsair AX750 was dead after 2 years of usage, but I got a RMA replacement from Corsair without problems. I would try to RMA the PSU or if possible, try another graphics card...
 
The Corsair TX750 was released back in 2007, hard to fault a PSU that's possibly 10 years old at this point.
 
Antec TPQ 850w. Was good but I think this psu has killed off a couple of ssds. My current ssd was a new 850 pro 512gb and it started to not work, would freeze during gameplay, only after a month of ownership. I thought no fucking way. I'm still on a 256gb 840 OS drive from 2012. I got advice to switch power cables and a different port on the modular psu. Ssd works flawless now.
I need to find a new psu!
