Hey guys, I've seen a couple of threads regarding a similar issue just like mine with some differences here and there. Now, to create a general idea about what's going on whenever I play a certain game that's a bit more graphically intense with lots of flares and enemies at the same for instance my pc would often restart itself at certain moments. Sometimes it even restarted itself after waking up from "sleep".
I've had MSI Afterburner turned on for the past sessions in order to monitor the card, the temperature didn't seem high at the time of the restart (around 50-60 degrees) but i wasn't really paying attention to that. What caught my attention was the figure for the graphics card load percentage, that being 101%, and at that point the pc would restart itself.
I would like your more experienced opinion on this issue (as I barely have any) regarding what exactly might be the real cause of this, although I assume it might be PSU related since, well, it cost me around 30$ for this no-name company 500W PSU that i got 2 years or so.
My specs are:
GFX card: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 6GB DDR5 192bit
RAM: HyperX Fury Black 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz CL10
Processor: Intel Haswell Refresh, Core i5 4460 3.2GHz box
Motherboard: ASRock B85M Pro3
HDD: WD Blue 1TB SATA-III 7200 RPM 64MB
PSU: Technoware 500W (forgot the exact full name of it)
Extra: I've also ran the same video game for example from the highest graphic setting to the lowest and I'm no longer experiencing the restarts.
Was already thinking of upgrading the PSU but I decided to post here just in case it might be something else.
