Hello all of Tomshardware. Its my very first time i'm posting a problem of mine on this wonderful fprum.
I do thank everyone here who i have leant stuff from over the years.

The problem is:

I recently installed a EVGA Geforce Gtx 460 in my rig, installed all latest drivers and so on.

So i ran Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 and i max out the settings. After about 2 minutes of gameplay, it sometimes freezes completely, or shutsdown.

I have no idea what could be the problem.

Rest of my specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit
Kingston 4gb DDR3 Ram
WD 1TB HDD (SATA)
Toshiba 300GB HDD (SATA)
AMD FX 6300 3.5ghz
ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS
Xtech 500Watt PSU with 30 A on the 12v Rail.

I seriously need help and there's no better place to get it than here.

Thanks in advance.


 
Solution
Use a good PSU like corsair and then try to play games with a temp monitor running behind .... MSI afterburner is good for that..... more likely that the PSU is not enough when GPU goes max.....

Well i cannot see temps while in gameplay but before i start the games its about 39 degrees. So i thinks\ its not overheating.

Also i would like to know if a Corsair TX 650 would be a good psu for my specs.

Thanks.
