Computer restarts it self while gaming

Hellowthere · Jul 7, 2014

So my pc restarts when i play games can be at random point after 1second or after 8 hours.
Specs:
GPU: Corsair HX 850W PSU
CPU: AMD FM2 Athlon X4 760k Black Edition
VGA: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670k
Ram: 8GB
OS: W7 64-bit

I have tried to turn off the automatic restart if system failure, didnt work
Changing PSU cable, didnt work
I have order new thermal paste.

So is there something else i can do other than changing thermal paste? Answers and suggestion are highly appreciated!

EDIT: My pc is also half a year old selfbuild, problem started a week ago.

Oh wait did you mean if its under gaming, if not its while only that program was running

Hellowthere :

And yes only Hwmonitor and rainmeter was open

Yeah, your CPU is frying. You must have the Cooler installed incorrectly. This is your problem. Iceclock must not have seen the CPU temps. Your idle temp for it should be between 30-40c. It hitting 70c at the desktop is a big issue. It should not even hit that under load.

ya thats not good.

what cooler are u using?

Do you think taking away the old thremal paste and addning new will work? Or do i need a new fan, its the stock

iceclock · Jul 7, 2014

id clean the old paste off with 80%+ rubbing alcohol. and reapply a pea size of thermalpaste and reinstall the cooler.

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

The stock fan should be fine. You must have installed is wrong or something. I would completely remove the paste and then apply it CORRECTLY using the pea method. MAke sure the cooler is properly fastened down and that the fan is spinning. (connected to the CPU_FAN header). I would not use the computer until you can sort out the issue to avoid CPU/ motherboard damage.

Okey thanks, but if its installed incorrectly isnt it abit "random" that it started aweek ago and not when it first was built?
Oh and btw does White spirit work to remove thermal paste?

iceclock · Jul 7, 2014

iceclock · Jul 7, 2014

id use rubbing alcohol only cost 1.40$ at pharmacy

Hellowthere · Jul 7, 2014

iceclock :

Does the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo work aswell?

iceclock · Jul 7, 2014

alot better its even as good as some 50$ coolers

tiny voices · Jul 7, 2014

You should not need it though. Your cooler should be doing its job fine. Unless you messed up the thermal paste the first go round or something.

How long was it fine until this started?

iceclock :

Dont think the pharmacy is allowed to sell it in Norway lol
