HI guys im currently running a windows 8.1 os with a gtx 780 , 16g ddr3 ram , 960 crucial ssd, 1tbhd, and a 3770k .

I experienced this issue once on my windows 7 and decided to upgrade to windows 8.1 because i thought maybe that would fix it, which ti didnt.

The problem is this: I hop on steam and can play numerious games like Zombie panic source, counter strike, and other stuff fine! However when i hop onto games like smite or dota 2 my computer instantly black screen restarts after a while and when i come back after another 5-10mins it re black screen restarts again. I have NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

Things i have done: clean out my systems dust , re-insert my ram, checked drivers for my 780 gtx, and played different games.

Through doing this i noticed this issue isnt OS bound and that it only occurs on certain games. I am not sure if i have defective ram or a defective power supply or if its something else.

I checked my gpu and cpu with temperature monitors and they are not overheating at all. Despite this in games like RO2 and Dota2 my computer black screens and restarts simultaneously after 5-10mins of gameplay. Is this being caused by the power supply unit or ram possibly?

yes its on the compatibly list . Today i changed my psu and ram . THis still has not fixed the issue, however my computer is running nicer due to the ddr3 ram at higher frequency. Nonetheless i cant play dota 2 and rising storm. It still continues to restart after 5-10mins of gameplay. This is just absurd. Im starting to think its a windows 8 problem, but i do believe this happened to me once during windows 7 . I just dont get how everything works fine then one week this shit happens....

i just messed around with some stuff and my GTX 780 is a HOF version . When i turn on the overclock the computer will not instantly restart after 5mins of gameplay, however i noticed during stress tests when the gpu temp increases past 65 c the computer instantly restarted. This is unusual considering the tempt limit for the card is like 95 c . any1 help with this plz


btw this was the oc done by clicking the button on the back of the card.
