I was playing Planetside 2 then my computer crashed i think no big deal, but when i restart to play some more 30-1hr in the game i crash. The main thing i am scared about is when i come back on my pc after the restart there is no error i didn't blue screen or anything. Before this issue i did have some problem where the computer would just shut off and i would have to press the power button to restart. I do not know why i am having these issues this is a brand new custom pc i had no problems before but i have been told by some other forums and friends that it could be because of my PSU here are my specs :

MOBO: ASUS Z87-A-C2

GPU GIGABYTE GTX 770 2GB

CPU : Intel i5 4670k

RAM : 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz

PSU : LEPA 650W 80+ (I assume this is the problem)

CPU Cooler : Coolermaster hyper 212 evo

Thanks for helping!

First off, if you didnt overclock anything, then it can be helped. If you did overclok, turn back the clocks of the CPU and GFX to their factory speed. The components could be defective, but it can vary. You can also run out of RAM while playing (if you use 3GB out of 4GB that can happen). The components work, but the PSU could be the problem, since i don't have experience with LEPA Psus. I usually use Chieftec etc. Anyway, if the 650W is not eniogh, you could try out 700W PS's. If your PC passes P.O.S.T successfuly, then maybe the software's at fault. The I5 and GTX 770 require a lot of wattage, so maybe it is.

Ok you are asking me if i overclocked anything, how do u know if i did? Because my MOBO has 3 settings normal power saving and an ASUS Boost thing and i did select it to the Asus Boost just to try it out. So what i am asking u is how do i check if i have overclocked something?

If you OC anything, you would need to actively change settings in the OC/XMP profile of you bios. Overclocking your GPU would have been done through an OS tool such as "MSI Afterburner" or "EVGA Precision X".

Absolutely, "turn off" (not that I know how to do that on your particular board) the auto-overclock tuner

Can you tell us what your CPU is running @? Check your overclocking settings in the BIOS and see if the core multiplier is set above 38 (3.8Ghz under "turbo" mode).

I dont trust the auto-overclocking tools...and the power usage profiles wouldnt cause you to crash unless you manually OC your system and forced low power modes; even then, I'd think the mobo would adjust delivery.
