Hey guys,
So i recently purchased the new 4k monitor, 28 samsungs just released, through a deal with the company i work with. I've used it for the day, however when i play league of legends my PC eventually turns off.
I've looked into it and the card gets to about 52 (degrees c) then turns off the entire system to avoid meltdown.
I run this new 4k monitor along with LG's 29" ultra wide 2560x1080, so my card is under load but when im not playing league everything is fine and responsive.
I use the MSI GTX 780 3GB Lightning edition, which i thought would be enough but it seems its not.
Now there are a couple other things that might be coincidence but also may be related. Recently the button on my case died and i've been having the short the two pins on the motherboard to turn the PC on, but as of recent, that hasnt been working strangely and i've found that if i flick the switch on the PSU half way quick enough then back to full, i can surge the PC into turning on fine.... Not sure if any of these problems are related but here are the solutions i've come up with that might help, only im not sure what actually is the solution, please any help?
1. Too much load to 1 graphics card, perhaps a second would solve it.
2. The PSU is whack, and it needs a new one.
3. The PSU (corsair AX850w) isn't able to give the card enough juice when the PC gets to a certain load and turns it off.
4. The graphics card just doesn't have enough cooling capabilities and requires water cooling.
Sadly I think however i look at it, I may need a new M/B for the pins, or PSU, or water cooling, or a combination... A costly en-devour i was hoping to avoid... Any ideas fellas?
