Hi,
My GPU (AMD Radeon 4800 Series) died recently so i bought a EVGA 2gb Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 card. Since installing the new card my computer reboots when i open some games. I have no problems opening and playing some games (Terraria, Surgeon Simulator, the escapists) but more GPU intensive games (Tera, Subnautica and GTA5) cause my computer to reboot. The game will load to the main menu but when i try and start the game it reboots my computer at the load screen. It also does this when trying using software to benchmark the GPU. i used EVGA OC Scanner X and Heaven Benchmark to test the GPU and both reboot the computer in the same way as the games.
I've been troubleshooting and googling solutions since yesterday and have tried the following so far with no luck.
1. I booted into safe mode and used Display Driver Uninstaller to remove all graphics drivers and re-installed the latest driver from Nvidia.
2. I've started the games at lower resolutions and tried loading them in full screen and windowed mode.
3. I've installed games not previously installed on my computer when i used my old GPU.
4. I've checked to make sure all my drivers and software are up-to-date.
5. I converted a hd video to test if the CPU was over heating.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
