PC Suddenly reboots while playing games

Guest · Nov 16, 2015

Hello everyone, I am new here and thanks to this forum that I've learned a lot about computers.

First off, I would like to address my problem, I have a desktop, currently have a PSU model Corsair VS550, GPU Nvidia Palit GTX 650ti Boost OC edition, AMD FX 8350 processor, 8GB Gskill X Ram,Gigabyte 970-DS3P Motherboard.

I am experiencing some regular reboots when I am playing games like dota 2, fall out 4, battlefield hardline, etc.. my desktop is one year old or more. Before this problem, I have a flawless experience in my games. I tried some troubleshooting like, moving the ram to another slot, cleaning up my desktop, changing thermal paste with my processor, checking temps with it and etc. As I've been searching here and to other forums, I can't seem to find a solution about this. I don't want to resort to buying a new PSU because I want to understand first what is the cause to this problem.

Thank you for taking your time to read my concern.
More power TomsHardware.

Corsair VS550 is a very low quality power supply , sudden reboots are often a power issue.

Hello and good day to you. Thank you for that insight, actually before, I have no problems with this.After a year, it suddenly started to reboot, I have to lower my graphics settings just to play dota 2 with no reboots at all. What may have caused this issue sir?

Can you please post your current voltages located in speccy for me, the 12v 3.3 5v -12 -5v thank you

You can use speccy, top left corner, file, Publish url and post here. this way we can check the atx tolerance ranges and find your problem in the PSU

Hi it's me will download speccy now. I will post the pic afterwards. While downloading, I want to tell you that by lower the frequency of my CPU makes me play games without the PC rebooting itself randomly.

Sounds like PSU voltages are out of tolerance, Post asap so I can see.

I find this solution to be most accurate in my case. Sorry for the very late reply. As I've been manipulating my PC. I found out that If I lower the frequency of my FX 8350 to 3.4 Ghz, My PC won't reboot and no issues at all. I've realized that when it is in 3.4-4.0, It reboots when using intensive tasks. Based on what I've gathered, A new seasonic PSU will make my RIG work better again. Thank you sir BlackBird.
