Hello everybody. I'm new to this forum and the PC Gaming world. I recently built myself a gaming PC as follows:
CPU: AMD fx-8320
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3
RAM: Corsair vengeance pro red 16gb 1866mhz
COOLER: Corsair hydro h75
PSU: Corsair cx750m
GPU: Msi radeon r9 290 gaming edition 4096mb
CASE: Corsair carbide 300r windowed
SSD: 120gb Samsung 840 evo series
OS: Windows 8
My problem is whilst playing a game a few days ago I was keeping and eye on my GPU temp using TechPowerUp GPU-Z and the temp was at 99c. I quickly tried to save and exit the game but before I could my PC had shut down without any warning. I turned the pc back on and it booted up fine.
The requirements for the game are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 or AMD Phenom II X4 940
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7750 with 1 GB or better
Sound Card: Yes
Free Disk Space: 15 GB
Since this incident I haven't played the same game and I haven't had the same problem. The max temp my GPU has reached since then is 94c which I would believe to be still way too high considering I only play World of Warcraft atm. I also have a new problem which has only occurred since the shutdown. Whilst paying the screen also flashes black for a split second at regular intervals. Any advice or help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
At this moment in time the GPU temp is at 80c with only internet explorer running and 4 tabs open.
