Computer shuts down while gaming with no bluescreen

TheQuantumLlama · May 5, 2014

After playing a graphically intensive game for a bit (anywhere from 2 min to 30 min), my computer shuts down with no warning at all. No BSOD, my computer just shuts down and after about 3 seconds restarts. Using WhoCrashed, I found a couple instances of a "VIDEO_TDR_ERROR" where atikmpag.sys is referenced as the most likely culprit. I don't know how to diagnose this problem as it does not cause a BSOD, although i can reliably cause it by starting a highly intensive game such as Shadow Warrior or Skyrim.
I have tested my CPU with Prime95 for about 3 hours, the load went up to 100% at some points but the temperature never topped 79 C.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-4670K (not OC'd) w/ Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Radeon XFX 6950
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Thermaltake 500W

Can you post your complete build in detail? - every component make and model plus OS

Can you download and run HWInfo and post screenshots?

Here is a screenshot of the System Summary that comes up when it first starts up:

Is this what you wanted? Also, is there an easier way than looking at the actual hardware to find the model and serial numbers? My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

That's a good start.

or look at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/blue-screen-error-with-atikmpagsys-in-windows-7/5f0aebb6-b9b6-4a5d-a622-97c62dbb3d66

Can you post results from HWInfo - Sensors? It might show an anomaly
