Hello everyone :)

So, let me explain a bit firt. Since a few weeks ago, my computer reboot randomly while i'm playing recent games (Like Fallout 4 for example) after like 1-2 hours into the game.
I tried to find where that could come but without success.
I know that it's not an Overheating problem (Checked with Realtemp while playing), nor a memory problem.
No problems with older games (Minecraft, Killing Floor, etc)

Soooo, i'm a little bit lost here. Any idea where that could come from? :/

Anyway, with that said, i'm thinking that upgrading my build a bit may solve the problem but with all that choice nowadays, i don't really know what to go for.

Here's my actual build :

Windows 7 Family Premium x64
CPU : Intel Core i7-2600K CPU 3.40GHz
Graphic card : Nvidia Gforce GTX 760
RAM : 8,00go
Power supply : Coolermaster g750m 80+

I'll upgrade everything if I can so every suggestions are welcome. My budget for all the parts required is around 1000-1200€ (1300$), I hope it's enough ^^

So, any suggestions? :)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, didn't practice for a while :p

If I were to guess, I would be a problem with your power supply, maybe there is something wrong with your wall outlet, not being able to pull that much power. My second guess would be that you have an overclocking problem. Because you are meeting the requirements by Fallout 4.

Powersupply seems the only reasonable problem to me as well. Your GPU clocks higher and draws more power, which the PSU is unable to supply and your pc restarts. You should check if everything is connected appropriately. For that much money you can buy a whole new PC, but honestly speaking your build is really good (unlocked i7, hello). All you can do is just get a GTX 970/980/Ti which will run great with that CPU and PSU (if there is no problem with it) and also is an awesome card which you can transfer to your future build.

Have you checked the Windows Event Viewer to see what caused the crash on the last occasion?

START>Run...> type eventvwr (return)

Windows Logs>System

Look to the right panel......click on "Filter Current Log...."

Tick the boxes only for "Critical" "Warning" & "Error" (Click OK)

So now check down the list to the last time it crashed. Tell me what you see....

Hello guys :)

First of all, thanks for your replies !
Modmonster & GingerBread, thanks for your advices, i'll have a look and let you know if indeed that was the problem. :)
Neur0nauT, No but i'll check right now :)

It is indeed enough for a whole new computer but it was just to give an example, if i can spend less, of course that would be great :p
The GTX980 only is already at 600€, quite a price ^^

So i checked as you asked and here are the results : (I'll list them as i see them in the WEV)
PS : Translated from French, i'm sorry if there are grammatical errors :s

Starting with the crash then everything that is after it (There's quite a lot Oo)

Critical (8/12/2015 00:14:09) - Source : Kernel-Power
"The system has rebooted without stopping previously correctly. This error can occur if the system stopped responding, crashed or lost power unexpectedly."

Error (8/12/2015 00:14:10) - Source : Application Popup
"Loading \ SystemRoot \ SysWow64 \ drivers \ libusb0.sys has been blocked due to incompatibility with the system. Contact the editor of your software to get a compatible version of the driver."

Warning (8/12/2015 00:14:10) Source : Kernel-PnP
"Loading driver \ Driver \ libusb0 failed for the USB device \ ROOT_HUB20 \ 4 & 0 & 226167d3 ."

Then it goes on with Errors & Warnings (8 errors/6 warnings) ALWAYS about that "Kernel-PnP" or "Application pop-up"

I'm far from being an expert but it looks like a power supply problem, am i right?
Anyway, I hope this will help you locate the problem :)
And thanks again !

Thanks for the reply Gingerbread :)
My bad for the driver, i'll reinstall the correct one right now ^^
Oh and, sorry to ask (as i said i'm far from being a computer expert :p) but, what do you mean exactly by "Since you have excluded the ram"?
Can i do something about that? Reverse it?

Thanks in advance !

Oh man, i'm sorry, I didn't read it that way ahaha ! I was still on my first coffee, that may explain how I managed to misunderstand your line of text :p

Indeed it is not a RAM problem, i just added 8Go more so it should really be enough now (16Go total)
I also changed the PSU cable and set my PSU on "Normal usage" instead of "high performances".
I don't think that'll do the trick but eh, who knows?

I'm gonna try playing Fo4 & see if the problem's still here. I'll let you know later or Tomorrow :)

Anyway, with that said i would like to thanks one more time everyone who replied, your help was greatly appreciated ! I'll let the thread up til' tomorrow to let you know if the problem's solved or not. :)

If not, as you said i'll change my PSU & Upgrade the graphic card in the same time
Thanks, good day/nigh :)

Well, no chance, it rebooted 3 more times, with less time in-game each time.. ><
I'm not even sure it's from the USP anymore, any way to tell if it's the case?
Do not want to buy a new USP if my old one's still okay :/
