Hello all!
I recently received an old HP Pavilion p6540f whose hard drive had crashed. I decided I would fix it up to be a semi gaming computer. Here is everything I replaced the old components with:
AMD Black Edition FX‑8350 4 GHz 8‑Core Processor
MSI Radeon R9 270X
EVGA 500 W1 100-W1-0500-KR
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB)
I got everything set up and ran it and everything works fine until I start to game. I can game for 1-2 hours on high then out of nowhere, it turns off and restarts. I believe it is either:
overheating (case is still the original)
not enough power on PSU
Bad GPU (testing today)
or some other issue
Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
