Hello,
I am currently having an issue with my PC that has me throwing my hands up in the air as I just can't figure out what it may be. Under light loads everything is fine, I can watch streams or movies without a single issue.
Now we get to the part that has me scratching my head. It only happens under load which is usually gaming. Sometimes I will be gaming and watching a stream but that is about as much as I do. Then the crash will happen, my screens will go all white, red, black, grey sometimes with lines in it. This can happen after 20 minutes or I can go days without a single crash. I am not sure if it is my psu or my video card.
My temps are never very high. GPU is never over 75c and the highest I have seen my CPU is 65 on the stock cooler(I have a new cooler on the way). For this reason I do not feel my pc is shutting down due to heat. I have not stress tested my pc with prime 95 or any other programs. I haven't tested my PSU with a multi meter but I do plan to.
What I have done is switched my PSU with my brother in laws and so far everything is just fine. My only issue is I can play like this for hours, sometimes days and other times I can't. So I am not 100% sure if it is my PSU or my GPU acting up.
I ran speccy on both PSUs and they both showed almost identical voltages under "motherboard". I have not changed any voltages in the bios or on any tuning utility.
These voltages are while playing overwatch.
AVCC 3.376 V
3VCC 3.376 V
CPU CORE 0.704 V - would go up to 1.072
VCCIN 1.792 V
DRAM 1.504 V
+12V 11.088 V - was at 11.176 before I started playing games
+5V 5.120 V
Xeon e3-1231v3
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
AMD 280x
16g corsair 1600mhz ram (4 sticks)
My PSU Corsair HX750 - It is rather old somewhere in the 7-9 years. So I do believe this is a strong candidate for my problems.
Brother in laws PSU - OCZ Fatality 550W - Not sure on the age of this one.
The plan right now is to leave my brother in laws in and see if my pc crashes at all. Any ideas or tests that you know of that can help me out is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
