Hi
My PC config is : AMD phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz , ASUS MB M4A87TD , ASUS VGA 6850 , WD Caviar Blue 1TB , 2x2GB RAM , Fortron FSP 500W and Thermaltake Armor A90.
I bought this PC 2.5 years ago , and never had any problems , until recently it restarted itself 2 times while playing games.I checked CPU temps , and in bios its 51degrees celsius , and with furmark test it goes up to 83 degrees (probably would go more if i hadnt stoped the test).
I have stock cooler on this phenom ,so , first tought is that this is problem.Now i have ordered CPU cooler (thermaltake contac 30) , but while I'm waiting for it to come , i want to ask , what else could cause computer restarting?
I'm asking this mainly because i never had problems with restarting PC for these 2.5 years until now , so its little strange to me , that problem is only because CPU has stock cooler.Why it never occurred before?
Any thoughts what else could cause this?
(I hope its not PSU or something like that)
