Gaming PC reboots while gaming or starting to play
- Thread starter xZGxFire
- Start date
Ok Pc specs:
GTX 760 NVidia, 1.5GB
Ram 12GB
IDk fan but its ok
PSU, crappy FPS Inc Group, 500w (484w max). (I think this is the issue)
i7 4770 processor
The Pc reboots when playing games for like 1 hour or when I inmedietly start a game, respawn in world. The temp is fine for both GPU and CPU, both are in a range from 40 to 55c... I dont get a blue screen after reboot, while i unchecked the restart after failure so I could try and get a blue message if possible.
I dont know if its the Graphics card or PSU. The pc is fine while it isnt on games and I dont get distortions either if i manage to play a while.
The pc is 2 years old and premade for extra info.
Please send your thoughts or advice, I have also tested all 12gb with a memtest program and no errors... did use a program to stress the system but it didnt shut down.

Other thing... I want a new PSU but I ran into a problem, I need a 4pin and 6pin which every PSU has, but i also need a 12pin and most PSU dont have a 12pin. I found an adapter from 24pins to 12pins and idk if it will work or even to find a 24pins PSU, My pc is Acer and the adapter from 24 to 12 is made from Acer too.
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-B1-0600-KR This is a 24 pin PSU and a good one too. You could try using your Igpu on your CPU and see if it still crashes. Run http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ only using your Igpu and if it crashes then its your psu.

If I were you, I would replace the PSU immediately. I'm 98% sure it is the problem in your case, as I've had such problem with a crappy unit before.
Ok so I spoke with a tech guy and he said it might be the PSU or the graphics, i know what psu to buy and have an adapter for the 12pin, but if i want to upgrade GTX card the size or better cards are bigger or idk, my case has a fine lenght and the height is fine. The problem is the width, the gtx card that i have is 3.9in and the new card that i saw that was perfect to buy is 4.4in width. My case doesnt have a custom area for the screws and maybe if its 4.4in then the area of the screws are located exactly at the end or the 4.4in and i can fit but without the screws and the cover. Any info on it?
