Hello,
I recently (past 7 months) built my computer from ground up.
MSI Z77a-G45 motherboard
Intel i5-3550
Gtx 550ti
8gb ram
Coolmax 600 watt PS 80+
Windows 8
Nothing crazy crazy, but definitely an upgrade for me.
I say all that to say- everything has worked fine up to this past week. I've been playing Fallout 3 New Vegas and Just Cause 2 and during intense portions of the games (like during a shootout or a lot of movement) my computer just turns off entirely.
My first thought was- heat issue, so I moved the computer to a cooler spot in the room.
I checked the temp and recorded the highest temps for each item after 30mins+ of game play
Motherboard- 55C
CPU- 57C
GPU- 75C
Hardrive- 29C
So, after looking at these specs, I find it hard to believe heat is causing these power offs.
I've checked and rechecked any wires that might be touching the GPU,- basically my computer hasn't moved in 7 months-..
So here's my question to the community,
Does this sound like a PSU issue?
What are your thoughts??
