Hello all,
Recently I have been experiencing a few issues with my computer. Every now and again, when I'm playing ANY game, even if it is really light on my components (Faster than Light), my computer restarts. When I open it back up, I'm greeted with no errors at all. In the event log, all that shows is that the shutdown was unexpected.
I unfortunately don't have a PSU I can swap out and use, nor do I have the money to buy one.
I do have a system that runs well, and has for the past 3-4 months of use, and it shouldn't be running over the wattage of my PSU.
Here are the specs that may or may not be important:
i5 4670k - Not overclocked
R9 270X
MSI Z87 G45 - Gaming
XFX 550w PSU 80+ Bronze
Windows 8.1 Professional x64
Is there anything else I can try?
Will a complete re-installation of Windows help?
Thanks guys!
EDIT:
Temperatures are also "good".
CPU runs at 60 degrees centigrade MAXIMUM during heavy loads, and my GPU rarely goes about 55.
