Computer crashes even with low cpu and gpu temps

jvanandel · Jun 9, 2016

I've recently built my own gaming pc for the 1st time and with that came its own set of problems. After thinking I solved them all another showed up which it seems like I'm not able to solve: my PC keeps crashing during decently heavy games (Overwatch and Tera). Even when I turned the graphics all the way down. These are my specs http://tweakers.net/gallery/704943/wenslijst/ please help me

P.S sorrt if this isn't the right category

What are your temps exactly? What CPU cooler are you using? Does it shut down out of nowhere, freeze, or crash the games?

Justinsanity :

Cpu temps vary between 40 and 50 degrees celsius, I have a Noctua L9x65 cooler and my pc freezes for maybe 5 seconds and then turns of ( this happens after a greater period of time if i have the graphics lower)

Are you overclocking?

jvanandel · Jun 9, 2016

Justinsanity :

My motherboard has a gadget called x-boost which apparantly overclocks a little but nothing else

jvanandel :

Try turning that off. What are your motherboard temps?

Justinsanity :

I don't know, do you have a tool for that?

I'll do that tomorrow if the crashes keep on coming

It could also very well be a power supply issue. If your GPU isn't getting enough power, you're going to run into problems. Your PSU isn't the best, but it shouldn't be causing immediate problems like this. You aren't overclocking your GPU, right? You could also underclock your GPU. That's what I used to do when I was concerned about PSU issues on my older rig.

Actually i have changed my gpu fan curve in msi afterburner but nothing else

The reply thing got too long for me

MSI has been nothing but problems for me, causing crashes and such even when I'm not overclocking. I would suggest using a different program to adjust the fan, and disabling MSI all together. That's just me though. Some people's rigs are fine with MSI, but its just something to consider if you're running into problems.

@justinsanity That might actually be it I'll try that too tomorrow thx in advance man

No problem, I hope it works!

Justinsanity :

It doesn't seem to have worked sadly

jvanandel :

You might need to upgrade your power supply. Have you tried underclocking your card? Try that and see if the crashes continue.
