Hi Everyone and thank you for taking the time to read and offer assistance. This is an interesting one as I have spent a lot of time reading through all the similar threads and nothing has yet offered me a solution...
PC is a new build where the only original is now my RAM and HDD: Spec. is
i3 4170 CPU
Asus H81M-P Plus MB
1 x 4GB Corsair
1 x 2GB G-Skill ripjaws DDR3
600GB WD HDD
Corsair CX500 PSU
Windows 7 64
GPU
For the Graphics cards I have been playing with three as I believed this to be the cause.
iChill GTX 970 3GB (Second Hand purchased Online) PC Shutoff
Strix Asus GTX 970 4GB (Second Hand Purchased Online) PC Shutoff
Sparkle GTX 750 1GB (Original purchased from New) Working perfectly no issues
PSU
Recently had 600Watt Storm with 24 Amps on the 12V line when running games the frame rate was either terrible or the game didn't finish load followed by either a blue screen or black screen with the PC still running and the sound loop. I upgraded this to the Corsair CX500 which seemed to be working better actually allowing the game to run for 5-10 minutes now with a different problem of the PC just shutting itself off. The screen would go black and the fans stop dead, Sometimes the PC wont allow you to turn back on for a few minutes.
The Fans and heat sinks are completely clean and monitoring the temperatures:
CPU doesn't pass 50 degrees
GPU doesn't pass 66 degrees
I have attempted a fresh windows install with fresh driver installs and pretty much everything else listed on the forums.
I think I can rule out faulty cards as it would be unlikely that two would be acting the exact same way.
My suspect is that the PSU still isn't powerful enough to supply these cards but reading online there are many people using this supply and card if not lower Wattage with no problems at all. Since changing the PSU over I have noticed a big improvement in speed of the PC. I really don't know what else to do..
