Current bios version is f3p 11/16/2012 (Do I need to update?)
SMBIOS Version: 2.7


It happens shortly after I start playing x plane 10 or any other very graphically crazy game.

My system specs are as follows : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1qpFr

It is a new build and basically happens in any graphically intense game. I have tried OCCT and the results seem to come back ok... (both PSU and GPU tests I may not be using it right but They seem to work with temps well within range)

What happens is the computer will just instantly restart. it is not a BSOD just a restart. Any tips? I have heard it could be a bios issue just want the pro's advise. Thanks!

Damn nice build, above my budget. you psu should be powerfull enough, 800w would be enough I think, try removing 2 of you RAM sticks to see if it still chrashes, I have tryed that 4 sticks would get to hot, as they was not able to run with standard speed in a 4 stick combo. Just to rule out a posible error.

Ok I will try that later tonight when I get home from work, Any other possible issues you see so I can do it all when I have it open? (Update - I just got home and updated from f3p bios to F4 successfully but it did not solve the issue. Is there a possibility my ram is wacky? I tried taking 2 out and it still persists do I have it wrong in bios perhaps?) I did not overclock it, I cleared cmos so just to make sure it was defaulted. I can't figure this out :(

I am gonna try a passmark test right now and see the results.

*update ok.. interesting finds with passmark..

3d testfrom passmark (latest version) crashes when the camera turns to the big jelly fish and I think its supposed to stop then crashes.

direct compute in 3d test. It crashes after maybe 1 second max.

Any hints here ?
