Hey all. I recently upgraded some parts of my PC and since then I've only had problems. I bought and MSI R9 390 and a new PSU to support it: an Evga Supernova 650 GS which seemed to be more than enough for it. With that my specs are:
Motherboard: Asrock z68 extreme4 Gen 3 (latest BIOS installed)
CPU: Intel i5 2500 3.3 Ghz
Memory: 8 GB Corsair DD3 1600Hz (2x4 GB)
GPU: MSI R9 390
PSU: Evga Supernova 650GS
One 100GB SSD and one 1TB HDD.
Running Windows 7
After I installed everything seemed fine until I tried gaming for a bit and my PC shut down by itself a few times after playing for around 20-30 minutes. I started monitoring temperatures and noticed my CPU was a bit high so I changed my cooling unit and put new thermal paste and it seems fine now (It doesn't go over 78C in stress tests).
I thought everything would be fine still but it's still having the same issues. The GPU temperature is fine, it doesnt go over 70.
So I started running more stress tests and found that it shut down first during a FurMark while the GPU temp was at 68.
Then I decided to test the PSU even if I had never done it and scared me a bit so I loaded OCCT and the PSU test lasted for about 3-4 minutes before it all shut down again. The temperatures seemed normal and I sadly have no ideas how the voltages should read.
Another thing that happens is that usually after the pc shuts down it tries to restart but it gets stuck on a black screen not loading anything until I power it down and wait around 3-5 minutes until turning it back on, after that it will boot up normally.
So I don't know what to do. I contacted the store that sold me these parts and they say that the PSU should handle my PC perfectly (which I also thought) but it seems it doesn't. Or could it be something else that I haven't thought about?
Thanks in advance for your help.
