Dear friends.
I moved to US and bring my PC from home with me to play, but the PC started to shut down when playing "heavy" games like Fallout 4 and GTA V. It always worked when I was back in my country (Brasil) which has 220v wall outlets instead of 110v here in US. The PSU is Bivolt so I don't need to change the voltage before connecting to the outlet here in US.
I run some tests to check temperature and the logs are OK, I used Core Temp to log the CPU temperatures and there is no sign of problems with that. Using AIDA64 to monitor all the other sensors and it's normal. I ran Prime95 to stress the processor and the Temp is OK... I cleaned the processor and applied a new coat of thermal compound just in case...
The only thing i can think of is power supply. I don't think the PSU is getting enough juice to maintain the PC working when the GPU has to process intensive graphics when playing games.
Is there a software that i can use to monitor and log the voltages being received by PSU and the other components to test if there is something wrong with the power supply?
Corsair HX-850 ATX 850W Power Supply
Asus Rampage III Extreme / Core i7 950 / 6gb Corsair Dominator GT 2000
X-fi sound card / 1 ssd / 2 hdd
GeForce GTX 970
Overclocking turned of due to those problems. I used the default OC settings from my Mobo which is the crazy i7 that goes from 3.0 to 3.7.
Thanks
