Hi guys, I have recently put together a PC, and my problem is the following:
If I play games that puts my PC under heavy load (like Battlefield 4) I usually get a red screen with no text on it. Then I have to restart my PC.
I tried to solve the problem myself, so I started stress testing. I stress tested my GPU using OCCT. It was fine. Temps went up to 73 degrees after half an hour then I stopped the test. Then I tried testing the PSU and after a few minutes Windows restarted itself with the "Your PC ran into a problem" screen. I wasn't sure about that my power supply could handle my PC as it is only 550W (full specs below).
Finally I ran a CPU stress test using Prime95. It went terrible. After about 10 seconds 2 cores failed (because the rounding was 0.5 and prime95 expected the rounding to be 0.4 or better). Temps went up crazy high after 50 seconds (about 60 degrees) and my PC restarted itself again with the "Your PC ran into a problem" screen.
Now I am not sure what is causing the problem, because i thought it was the PSU but then the GPU stress test should have faild too, right?
I guess it must be the cooling or the CPU itself then.
Although I'm not even sure if the stress test and the games fail because of the same problem, as the stress tests get the "your PC ran into a problem" screen, and with the games I only get a red screen with nothing on it. My GPU driver is up to date, and my PC works fine while doing basic stuff. (I am writing this post from it).
Any ideas what could be wrong?
