Hi guys.
Just transferred my pc's inners into a new case, no new oarts. Everything runs smoothy as expected except when gaming. For some reason, the graphics driver crashes and causes a bsod. The first action i took was to check all the connections - motherboard, power, hdds, gpu. All were fine. But it still crashed so i uninstalled and uninstalled the drivers. Everything was fine until 1 into gaming when it crashed again! I brought up trixx and was surprised to see that everything was at very low numbers. So i restarted it and everything was back to normal. But when i game, it crashes again.

Cpu temp was at a good 60c and gpu was at 50c while gaming. I did try to adjust the gpu's fan but still the same outcome. I had no problems before transferring to the new case. Which connections should i double check? Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Specs:
Os: win 8.1
Cpu: fx6100
Ram 8gb kingston
Mobo ms-7641 v3
Gpu saffire r9 270 dual x
Gpu driver 13.12 (if im not mistaken)

Perhaps your power supply is dead...

You may also want to go to http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp to see if your PSU has even enough wattage to run your computer without over-drawing from it. You want 50-100 extra watts for wiggle room.


Yes but he didn't change any hardware meaning that his PSU was strong enough prior to the case change. Perhaps it's been used up.

What is the ID of the error? Locale ID and BCC code more specifically....The times when My PC has crashed it has been a LOCale ID 1033 with a few different Bcc codes.

install some old drivers for the time being and see what you get.

Hi guys! Sorry, i forgot to update.

I was able to solve my problem. All i did was to turn the psu over. It's my first time getting a performance case and when i saw the wholes beneath the case, i thought that the psu's exhaust should be facing down. Stupid me.
