Hello
I'm in desperate need of help to see what is wrong with my computer. Basic specs :-
Windows 7 32bit
I5 2500k. @ 3.3 mhz
2 years old
(newly fitted heat sink fan, artic cooling pro 7)
8gb Ram Kingston.
2 years old
Gigabyte 560ti oc edition.
2 years old but not heavily used
750w psu alpine.
3months old
I recently discovered that my Cpu heat sink fan stopped working it was twitching rather than spinning so it was getting up to 96c and the pc was rebooting itself. So I decided to leave it and order a new one.
It arrived today so I was excited to set it all up got it all working and was so happy at the temps
Idle about 20 - 30c and under full load about 50 - 60c
However I'm having another issue the pc is still rebooting itself. It seems to be when playing games so I installed a tool to monitor the gpu usage and temperatures. So I ran borderlands 2 and all goes well Cpu 55 gpu load 100 % and temp about 69 as soon as it was hitting about mid 70s the pc would reboot. I still find this strange as the temperature is quite low. I tried installing latest drivers and still the same. I tried using old drivers and the gpu load was less yet it still rebooted. So I thought Ok let's eliminate other issues it's not Cpu I ran tests on ram it's not ram, I'm yet to test the physical psu but I am not sure it's that. The latest test I did was I downloaded a gpu stress tester and I maxed it out and about 10 to 15 seconds into the test bam it resets the gpu and it was not even at 50c.
There is no logs left over and nothing on the event viewer.
Am stumped! Am I right in thinking that my graphics card is at its end? Or is there anything else anybody else could recommend?
Thanks alot!!!
