Hi all,
I build a computer about a week ago and when I play dirty bomb, it will randomly restart after about 30 minutes of gaming. My CPU seems to be running hot (it can reach 90C) but it's not overclocked and it's using the stock fan. I know I could buy a new CPU cooler, but I feel like the one that comes with it should be sufficient for a non-intensive game like dirty bomb. The only thing I can think are that the GPU or PSU are not functioning right. I haven't seen the GPU get above 65c, but it could be higher when I'm in the middle of a game before it restarts. My build details are below:
Intel i7 4790k
MSI GTX 970 GPU (Open Box)
Corsair HX850 PSU (Factory Refurbished)
Samsung Evo 250gb SSD
Seagate 3tb HDD
Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK MoBo
Corsair 750D Case
Samsung DVD drive
Clearly 850 watts should be enough to power the computer under load (the fan rarely needs to come on even) and the case stays really cold. It's sitting on a concrete floor in a basement that's kept around 68 degrees Fahrenheit all day. It even overheats with the side of the case off. Currently my temps (at idle) are CPU: 26,29,27,28C for each core, and the GPU is at 39C (and steady). Is it possible my mobo is putting too much voltage to the CPU? The only other thing I could think would maybe be north/southbridge but I don't know what the tolerances are.
I'm about to lose my mind here, so please let me know if you have any suggestions or things I could try!
