Hello everyone,
after two months of having my pc work flawlessly, it suddenly shut down as if someone pulled the power plug and then rebooted.
I did not install any new drivers, since they all are up to date.
I was playing a game for several hours and then the shutdown and reboot happened.
I already replaced my XFX HD7970 double dissipation with a Radeon HD 6870 and could play the game without ending up with a reboot after a few minutes.
Of course I am aware that the HD 6870 does not draw as much power from the PSU as the 7970 does.
The GPU temperatures are at around 70°C before my pc reboots.
Also, I've used Intel Burn Test to stress the CPU to see if that causes the problems, but the CPU passed the tests.
Now I'm here trying to find out what could cause the sudden shutdowns but I can't seem to find the cause.
It would be great if any of you could give me a hint because I am not such a big computer pro.
These are my PC specs:
Mainboard: MSI Z77A-G45
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7970 Double Dissipation
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power CM L8 630W
My system is not overclocked
Thanks for your help
