PC keeps rebooting while playing games.
Jon Crothers
I recently recieved my ibuypower revolt back from RMA and after working well for a few days, it is now randomly rebooting during any game session, usually in less than an hour. It is very frustrating, ive replaced the stock 500w psu with a 700w, changed the video card riser, installed new drivers, changed video cards, bought a new power surge protector, and ran CPU, memory, and hard drive testing software all with no problems. i took out the gtx 770 because it rebooted during the gpu test and replaced it with a gt 620 i had lying around, that seemed to work for a while but then BAM another restart. I'm totally out of ideas!
oh also realtemp and msi afterburner have my load levels and temperatures normal. i'm only trying to play fallout new vegas and SWTOR on medium settings. not exactly crysis 3
Intel i7 3770k
gt 620
120gb ssd
8gb ram
windows 7 premium

the revolt runs off of a server power supply because of its case design. its a 700w 1u server power supply that replaced their stock 500w version

Is it certified? I'm pretty sure your PSU isn't efficient enough for the card that you have. -

bronze certified. its the largest power supply i could find to fit in the case, plus i'm only running the gt 620 now, which has practically no power requirement. -
Used to have a weird Problem with Battlefield which would make my computer crash and reboot, I fixed it by re-installing windows.
If your system hardware is fine like you say then a re-install may be the best option you could try updating all the drivers first and see if that helps.
Also with the monitors telling you the heat are you looking at them as the system is running in real time or are you looking at them after the computer reboots. - Best answer
