Hey Everyone,
I'm currently having an issue with my computer shutting down while under heavy load. I have narrowed the issue down to two separate problems, PSU or Overheating and so far I think it seems to be the latter but I'm looking for some more opinions to help diagnose and for future problems that might be similar.
Build:
Asus GTX 650 TI boost 2gb
Corsair Vengeance 8gb(2x4gb)
Western Digital WD AV-GP WD5000AVDS 500GB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal AV Hard Drive Bare Drive
Cooler Master GX - 650W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification
MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8320FRHKBOX
Symptoms:
Computer will shut down under heavy load (games such as LoL and BF4). However, the power button on my case will just flash and the fans will continue to run. When shutting down the monitors will cut out, and so will sound. Then the power light will flash and fans will continue to run. I can't immediately restart and I have to shut down the power completely before restarting after 5-10 minutes of waiting. So I was wondering if any of you guys would know what might be the issue that I'm currently facing.
Things I've Tried:
I've ran Prime95 and furmark and my computer shuts down after about 5-10 minutes of either one running. I've installed Core Temp and GPU-Z. Core Temp shows around 50C before shutdown, however when I'm going through BIOS its shows temps at 60C idle (I don't know which one is true). GPU-Z shows temperatures around 60C-70C. I don't get a blue screen, so I believe it's not the memory or HDD. Again, any help would be appreciated.
