So this problem first occurred yesterday when i was playing a newly found game (DayZ). This game is quite stressful even for my PC:
Specs (Nothing OC'd)
CPU-i5 6400
RAM-Corsair Vengance LPX 12gb (3x4gb Not Dual Channel)
GPU-GTX ROG STRIX 1070 (Newly bought)
PSU-Corsair CX600M
Mobo-Asus z170-p
HDD-WD Caviar Blue 1tb
I dealt with this problem yesterday as it only happened around twice but it was hardly bearable as i was forced to restart my pc every time this happened. I tried to play this game again today but it just wasn't having it, i was waiting to join a server (not under heavy load yet) and the problem came back. I have reinstalled GPU drivers and tried another monitor to see if the problem would happen again and sure enough it did. This leads me to believe that the problem is with the GPU or the PSU. I have read about this problem for around an hour now and its helpful to see im not alone, but these posts i have read mentioned the PSU not being able to handle the demand of components or GPU drivers as the fans ramp up. As i mentioned earlier my PSU is 600w which should be enough to handle the load of all my components with about 100w to spare. Even under max load the GPU Only needs 340w with the rest of the system taking 170w *NOTE i haven't taken into account the CPU under max load (probably the PSU now that i think about it)*. But as you see i am completely stuck for ideas and need this sorted fairly quickly but a new PSU isn't a good option but would but would only be an inconvenience. Thanks for any responses.
