hello my name is lucas,
first i want to thank everyone in advance.
and ask if you could please help me solve this issue i have .
i recently built my gaming rig everything worked great, but suddenly my pc started shutting off or restarting when gaming, sometimes i could play 10 mins others i would go 2 mins in to the game and it would shut off.
i thought maybe my cpu or gpu where over heating but after checking my temps, my cpu "amd fx8350" never went above 35° and my gpu "asus readon hd 7850 2gb" stays in the 55-60° , and that's when gaming .
at first i thought my gpu might be malfunctioning due to other reasons besides overheating so i went to the store and got it replaced with a new one, but the problem still persists.
last night after having the pc on for the whole day i tried watching netflix and the same thing happened while watching video . and it happened 3 times and i gave up and shut off my pc for the whole night , in the morning i turned it on again and i was able to use the pc normaly including netflix. exept for gaming it would still shut off if i played for a while . so i took out the side cover from my pc and ran crysis 3 and the game played well over 10 mins with out crashing . so i am thinking maybe my psu is over heating ?
please feel free to ask for more info
my build is
cpu: amdfx8350
gpu: asus readon hd 7850 2gb
ram: corsair vengance 16gb ddr3 memory
psu: cooler master xtream power plus 600w
motherboard: asrock 970 extream 4
