Hello Everyone,

I need a little help with my pc, I've build up a custom pc and my specs are given below:

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4GHz
GPU: ATI AMD R9 270X 4GB OC Edition
RAM: 2GB(Dolgix)+ 4GB(Kingston) = 6GB 1333Mhz
Simple CPU Cooling Fan
PSU: Mron 550W

I have few games installed such as Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition, Hitman Absolution, Battlefield 4 and Watch Dogs

I am able to play MKKE, Hitman at extreme settings, but when I start BF4 or Watch Dogs at Ultra Settings , it loads the games a little while and when it completes the pc gets restarted! It's really annoying!! then again at low settings both the games run fine for 10-15 mins and then it restarts again!

Can anybody tell me what to do? Any suggestions???

Sounds like some sort of cooling/over heating issue. Either the CPU or GPU, that's for you to monitor and determine. The fact that it takes longer at lower settings though tends to point to the GPU.

Hello,

It seems that you have a low-quality PSU. For your system, a good quality power supply is mandatory, at least 500W and at least 35Amps on the +12V rail (Seasonic, XFX, Corsair, etc.).

The RAM pairing is also a little bit unfortunate, but it should not lead to restart.

Also, as getochkn pointed out, verify you CPU/GPU temperatures.
