My computer randomly restarts (shuts down completely, LEDs turn off, then turning on again by itself) when playing games (tried Dota 2, Witcher 3, Battlefield 4).
Tried updating the drivers, didn't work.
I tried disabling the graphics card via Device Manager (1.5 y/o GTX 970) and using iGPU, seems to stop the random restarts. I'm not really sure if the GPU caused the restarts or a failing power supply.
- 650W FSP Aurum PSU dying
- Power strip (some Chinese strip with a meter thing on it)
- GTX 970 itself. (I have read that failing GPUs tend to BSOD, not the case for me)
Computer specs:
MSI H97-G43M
i5 4460
GTX 970
FSP Aurum 650w gold PSU
WD 1TB Blue HDD
ADATA 120 SSD
Thanks for the help!
