Computer restarts when playing games on hig-res or high-detail

arlievanos · Mar 31, 2016

Hi everyone, I'm having sudden restarts when playing games on high-res, I've read other posts that says that it could be a psu problem but I have a 750w psu so I think it should be enough.

Here is my machine specs:

Board: Gigabyte GA-277-D3H
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.9GHz
RAM: 8Gb
PSU: Zephyr 750w
GPU: GeForce GTX 970

I want to be sure if maybe the PSU brand is not reliable and get advice if should i change it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Check the other hardware first. Temperatures of graphics card and CPU
Run 3dmark basic edition (firestrike) and post the link which comes up at the end
Update the bios inside bios itself

Did you change something on your system lately?

The hec zephir 750w is not the best Psu, bit should run your system without problems. Is related with this one: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2081

I only changed the vcard, last card was a gtx285

I tried to follow your link but it throws an error :??:

Also im going to update the bios

UPDATE
It seems that the outdated bios was the problem, after update It stopped to restart in mid game, thanks for your help

I edited The link.
Thought so, that the gpu was new
Bios was the best chance
