pc shutting down after installing new gpu

markybhoy · Nov 16, 2015

I recently installed a geforce 950 2mb card and when I play games my pc randomly turns off after 30-50 minutes, any ideas?
8 gb ram
580 watt g7 psu
amd 4100 quad core

Probably a faulty psu what are your gpu temps while gaming?

Do you have a spare psu to test your system with ?

DustyDanglerX · Nov 17, 2015

How about your cpu temps what are they ?

DustyDanglerX :

no I dont, my cpu is 70c not sure if that is high

DustyDanglerX · Nov 17, 2015

70c is high go to your motherboards bios an look somewhere if it says cpu thermal throttle disable that and see if it doesn't shut off anymore if so buy a cheap hyper 212 evo for 30 bucks to cool that cpu that is way to high are those temps when your browsing the web n stuff? or are they when you're gaming?

Electrical / Thermal parameters
Maximum operating temperature ? 70°C
Thermal Design Power ? 95 Watt

Dusty is right. Your definitely hitting the thermal wall for the 4100. A CPU cooler should help with this problem but it shouldn't be the solution. If you are running stock speeds then the stocker CPU cooler should be adequate. You could try removing the CPU cooler and reapply some thermal paste.

Optimally, getting a after market CPU cooler is highly recommended though.

http://postimg.org/image/fbr40np3x/ this is exactly what I am looking at, I already have a fan on my motherboard, I removed my side case which has a fan also have a fan at the front that doesnt seem to be working.

o.o 78 max temp degrees get a cpu cooler on that before it melts get an aftermarket cooler.Keep the front case fan as intake take the side fan and mount it on the back of the case as out take and get a cpu cooler with a lot of pressure to take that heat out as quickly as possible A hyper 212 evo for 28 bucks cant go wrong there.

i think il need a new psu for another fan dont have any spare cables. Cleaned all the dust out my fans now sitting at betweeen 30-40 when im not gaming and 50-70 when I am, still too much?
