I built this budget rig almost 9 months ago, with the following specs;
Intel Core i3 4150 4th Gen 3.5GHz (no O.C.)
GIGABYTE B85M-D3H Motherboard (4x Memory slots and 2x PCI-E slots)
8GB Kingston 1600 BUS DDR3 memory (normal desktop one)
GIGABYTE GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 GPU
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache HDD
Samsung 24x DVD-RW drive (no blue ray)
Cooler Master Hyper 212x 120mm heat sink
2x Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mm LED fans (Green)
All of the components are powered up by the Corsair VS 450 450-Watts Power Supply
A few months ago I started over clocking my gpu to achieve 60fps on Fallout 4 at 1080p, and after a few weeks of overclocking, the system began to restart while gaming. Now here are the weird parts
1. The temperatures remains perfectly normal both on idle and gaming modes.
A/c to Piriform Speccy
Idle: CPU @38C, GPU @35C, HDD @30C and MB @28C
Gaming 100% load: CPU @55C, GPU@50-55C. HDD @40C and MB @28C
Gaming 100% load O.C: CPU @55C, GPU@50-56C. HDD @40C and MB @28C
2. I have stopped overclocking and the problem decreases but still remains while playing high end games like The Witcher 3 or Projects Cars all on High 1080p.
System normally restarts after 5-15 mins of gaming.
My GPU overclocking figures
Default:
Clock = 1033MHz
Memory = 1350MHz
Boost = 1111MHz
Over Clocked:
Clock = 1233MHz
Memory = 1550MHz
Boost = 1311MHz
Used MSI Afterburner
Here is the event log generated soon after the system restarts
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Date: 1/6/2016 5:04:50 PM
Event ID: 41
Task Category: (63)
Level: Critical
Keywords: (2)
User: SYSTEM
Computer: rahil-pc
Description:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
My thoughts that it has to do with low power supply, but I am quite confused, because I built this machine to run under 450 Watts, as GTX 750 Ti itself consumes only 75W. But still I am not sure.
So any experts here ?
