Apologize ahead of time for the wall of text that is to follow..
Ok so I built a computer not too long ago and everything works great. Except when I play a game, any game, doesn't have to be graphic intensive, the PC restarts itself. I have changed settings to not auto restart on error or critical failure but it still does. Originally I started looking through the easy stuff such as connections and found a wire basically hanging out of the molex going to my gpu. I replaced that and the problem appeared to be fixed, no restarts during any amount of gaming. Now all of a sudden 3-4 weeks later it is doing it again, but this time around it is doing after 3-5 minutes of gameplay regardless of what game. I play anything from sonic all star racing transformed and dirt 2/3 to dark souls1/2, witcher 2, d3, DAO, All elder scrolls games etc etc
Also, I can do anything else on the PC. I can download heavily while encoding video while doing whatever without any issue. I can stream hd video to my 60" tv no problems. It's only when I play a game and only a few minutes.
I have monitored temps literally every time I have logged on since the day I built the thing.
cpu idles on board at 27c, showing the cpu itself as low as 13c (using hwmonitor and core temp).
in bios it idles right at that 27c. CPU has never been above 41c under full load. GPU idles around 25c and under full load of a higher end game 60c is the highest it has ever got, usually around 55c or so.
event shows the dreaded event 41 task 63. I have searched and searched for a fix but the problem is so many people claim to have a fix but they are all so different (trust me i have tried just about all of them) some people claim there is no fix others are saying its bad electrical in your house to a psu failure or gpu failure or as simple as updating certain drivers. I just don't know what to do at this point.
What I have done so far...
- changed cable from psu to gpu (sigh, thought that did it)
- updated bios, audio, video, usb drivers
- rolled back to older video drivers
- manually set timings in bios for ram (auto set them to like 11-10-10-30, i believe mine are suppose to be 9cas 9-9-9-24)
- checked drives for errors
So if someone could please help me try to rectify this issue that would be wonderful. Not sure what to do at this point.. should I start to run memtest86, furmark, etc etc? do i need more watts out of a psu to push what i'm working with?
