Hi Guys,
So I found a huge problem with my computer yesterday...
When starting 3D processing (in other words, starting any game: D3, lol, battlefield, etc) the performance is crap.
I get near to ~20fps AVG in every game, and after a few seconds of starting the game the computer just freezes ...
What I have done so far:
- Tested a couple of different driver versions (didn't work)
- Performed deep malware and virus scan (didn't work...my pc is clean)
- Checked temps: everything is normal, I get 50º CPU and 54º GPU
- The voltages +5v and +12v seem to be within normal values under HWmonitor
Assumptions:
I guess there's something wrong with my PSU (NOX Urano vx 600W) , this behavior only happens sometimes, i would say it happens in 6 out of 10 times.
When testing with MSI Kombustor for the Fur test, the VDDC values for the graphic card seem to differ from a good case to bad case, please have a look at both screenshots

Hint: this morning the graphics didn't work at all, so I unplugged both the PCI-E power connector from the PSU and used the Molex adapter to power the graphics card, it's working now......
PC Build:
- Mobo: MSI H98M-E35
- CPU: Intem Core i5 4590 @3.30Ghz
- RAM: DDR3 Gskill 2x4GB 800MHz
- GPU: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 OC
- Storage: Kingston SSD 120gb + Seagate SATA 1TB
- PSU: NOX Urano vx 650W
Everything is under warranty, I'm just having doubts to buy a new PSU tomorrow or send my beloved geforce to warranty....
Any help is appreciated!

I also think your PSU is doing something wrong..
