I recently swapped GPUs. I got an nVidia GTX 770 2gb card to replace my old nVidia GeForce 9800 GT (manufactured by PNY). After having installed the new card, my computer randomly restarts.
No certain event seems to cause the shutdown, as I have managed to play full games of League on the card with no problems. At other times I've played WoW for about an hour, again with no problems. Every once in a while, and more often recently, my computer shuts down and restarts a couple seconds later. Here's my rig:
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
CPU: Intel Core i7
GPU: nVidia GTX 770
HDD: 1.5 TB
SSD: One 150 GB and one 250 GB
PSU: Corsair TX750W (60A on the +12V rail)
DVD-RW Drive
RAM: 3 2GB cards
If I sound like an idiot, it's because I have absolutely zero experience with this kind of thing. I helped build my machine about five years ago and know where everything goes, but I don't know much about the inner workings of it. I'll try my best to help you help me but honestly I don't even know where to start.
The only thing I do know is that the problem occurs due to the GPU; I've swapped out the cards multiple times, and the restarts only occur when the GTX 770 is installed. The temperatures are at normal, so its not an overheating problem.
I've read in other posts that uninstalling all nVidia products and then reinstalling them sans GeForce Experience can help solve the problem, but so far I've been unable to uninstall the GeForce Experience.
UPDATE: The error hasn't happened in about an hour, but I haven't tried running any games. I've only had the GTX 770 for a day. So far, the list of things that cause restarts includes:
Running TeamSpeak for extended periods of time
Trying to queue for a game on League of Legends
Running World of Warcraft
Opening Device Manager (although this only activated the restart once, it was the only thing running at the time)
