Computer shutdowns/restarts and cant start it again for few minutes.

witerzet · Dec 11, 2013

Hello,
I have a problem with my PC. When I try to run some game my computer shutdowns or restarts and I cant turn in on for few minutes. Actually CPU, PSU and GPU fans turn on but others dont. Dr. debuger doesnt work either. I tried to do some tests and my PC was passing them since today when it cant even pass OCCT PSU test. Temperatures are fine cuz im monitoring it anyway with HWiNFO. After few minutes I can turn on my PC again and it works fine until I try to stress it.
I think its bad PSU but cant exclude mobo so I hope you are gonna help me with that.

My spec:
MOBO: ASRock P67 Fatality Professional
CPU: i5 2500k @stock
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 560Ti OC version
RAM :Kingston HyperX 2x2GB 1600MHz CL7
PSU: Epsilon 80Plus 600W
HDD/SSD: few of them but I think its not important.

ok just to make sure its not a driver problem first do this.

you need to fresh reinstall your displaydriver and clear any driver remnants using driver fusion. also grab ccleaner.

download driver fusion from phyxion and get the latest beta driver
uninstall the current driver and dont restart.
run driver fusion and run the nvidia driver cleaner and then restart when prompted.
run ccleaner file cleaner then the registry cleaner multiple times till it finds no more errors.
reinstall the beta driver as custom and only install the graphics and hdmi driver and untick everything else that you can untick.

see if this helps

then the problem most likely is your psu then, i would try another psu if you have one available, also if your psu has multiple pcie 6pin power connectors try using one of the unused ones with your gpu incase its just a problem with one of the outputs.

If that PSU is older than 3 years then I would say that one or more of the CapXon electrolytic capacitors used in those FSP Epsilon 80PLUS series models may have begun to fail.

CapXon electrolytic capacitors have a known reputation for early failure.

Its 5 years old so I guess you r absolutely right. I will just buy new one soon. Do you have any suggestions for which one should I buy for less than 100 Euro ?

XFX Pro Series Core Edition 550W (P1-550S-XXB9).

Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze (SS-520GB) or M12II-520 Bronze (SS-520GM) or the 620 Watt models of these two.

Thanks guys. I've ordered this one "Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 CMPSU-750TXV2EU" and I'm gonna update you how it works with new PSU in 1-2 days.
