Hello,
The problem I am facing is that when I put the GPU under stress (either through Furmark or playing a simulator like X-Plane) the computer seems to reboot shortly afterwards. It has reached the point where now Furmark barely lasts 2-3 seconds, and, on X-Plane, I can't even configure the plane for take-off properly.
There are, however, no reboots when I am running on integrated graphics.
Please note that I don't have any friends who build/assemble computers (I'm 14), and I have no spare PSUs or GPUs that are of similar power.
My temperatures are fine; when the Furmark tests ran properly and the I could play X-Plane the GPU temp never exceeded 70°C, and the CPU temp stayed around 50-55°C (I have a very aggressive fan cooling policy that increases the fans to maximum very early).
My specifications:
CPU: Intel i7-4770K (not i7-4790K)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce 3X (GK104, 4GB)
RAM: Corsair (Vengeance) CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 (2x, 4GB, DDR3-1600, DIMM)
Motherboard: ASUS Z87-PRO (not Z97)
Storage: Seagate Desktop SSHD (1000GB, 3.5")
Power Supply: Corsair AX860i
BitFenix Recon Fan Controller (only used to control front intake fans, rest are controlled by Asus Fan Xpert)
4 chassis fans, 9 fans in total
Looking at the forums here, I have tried the following:
1. Run MemTest86. It has passed with no errors and 4 out of 4.
2. Swapped RAM from my earlier build (the RAM model is exactly the same)
3. Taken out my GPU and run Furmark on integrated graphics. As I said above, this solved it but the integrated graphics are obviously terrible compared to the GPU.
4. Changed various settings in the BIOS, such as switching off Turbo Boost. I have, also, switched off ASUS Anti-Surge after a number of what I think were false positives.
5. Checked Corsair Link many times. I have both windows open every time I run Furmark, and I notice that the power consumption obviously spikes up, but I don't know how much since Corsair Link only managed to refresh the statistics once after the Furmark test starts and the computer shuts down.
6. I have done short (only short) tests on Blend with Prime95. There were no errors.
I'm currently suspecting that I have a problem with the PSU.
Thanks in advance.
