Hi everyone,
I built a new rig a year ago and I've been dealing occasionally with mysterious crashes that lock up the machine and then cause it to restart. Basically what happens is that randomly while playing a game, my rig will lock up and go to a solid-color (usually just black) screen, the d-sub icon appears, sound loops, then after a second or so of nothingness, it reboots. After it reboots, I log back into the game and my PC is fine and doesn't crash again. I have been keeping my windows and video card drivers up to date since the machine was initially purchased back in June 2014, and I'm just at a loss as to what's going on or how to fix it. I thought my card was overheating, so I put in 2 more 120MM fans right on top of it and still no luck. I don't think it's overheating. Happens no matter what game I play. My specs are below:
EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8gb sticks)
Intel i5-4670 3.4Ghz
ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97
Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III
Windows 8.1
Direct X 11
LG E2442-TC (E2442TC) Monitor
CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Last night I came home, installed GPU-Z. Played my game while it ran. Highest temp reached was 57C. At 9:30pm installed Prime95 and ran all 4 workers using blended option. It ran for 14 hours with all tests passing and zero fails/crashes. This morning I ran Unigine and Prime95 with the Small FFT settings at the same time. I set the graphics quality to ultra. I started crashing like I normally do. I pulled an event viewer and pasted the results below. Is the error my bios for my motherboard? Is it my PSU?
The benchmarking ran on Unigine and it displayed that my GPU temp ranged between 60-62C and my Max FPS was 40ish.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
