Hello,

I have a problem that has been bugging me for the past 2 weeks. Initially it was only when playing planetside 2 in high pop area's my pc would black screen then restart. I found my cpu temps were getting high so I went out and got a H80i system, to future proof my cooling needs by far. It's now 6 days later after running fine and the black screen restarts have happened again. This time it was when opening steam big view, and system temps were nowhere near the shutdown threshold.

This problem has left me completely boggled, even after searching for similar problems.

Cheers,

Radz

Found the problem, one fan on my gpu failed so upon medium-high to intensive usage it overheats and shuts down.
