PC Overheating Dont Know Whats Happening

Conspitty · Apr 14, 2016

Hello, I recently purchased a GTX 950 to replace my GT 720 and ever since I have had problems with my computer randomly shutting off, I dont know what the problem is and I really need help so I know whether to return the Graphics Card or just to buy a new CPU fan

Current Build:
AMD FX 4300 3.8 GHz Quad Core
CPU Fan is the default fan from AMD

GPU is a GT 720 because I didnt want to potentially ruin the GTX 950 so I removed it from the pc

Powersupply is a standard 500 watt, fans facing up

I have two 120MHz fans, both on the front and back of my case

If you need any more statistics please post on the thread and I will be happy to update it.

Please help me!!!

Do you know what temps the cpu and gpu are?

If I had to point fingers I'd say the "standard 500W PSU" is what is giving you trouble. You might want to replace that thing with a much more capable PSU and then see what happens.

Mark_1970 :

The CPU Temp averages around 21-34 degrees Celcius and the GPU which right now is the GT 720 because I took the GTX 950 out is average at close to 31 degrees Celcius

Was really thinking about purchasing this one: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX600-CP-9020048-US-Power-Supply/dp/B0092ML0OC
Because I know corsair makes really great products and it has a lot of good reviews

corsair do some good psu's but the cx is one you should stay away from, they are tier 4

Tier Four

Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.
