PC shuts down while playing high games

Frajmar · Feb 11, 2017

3 months ago i bought a pc gamer
Asus strix GTX 950 2GB
8GB Ram
i3-4150 (3.6GHz)
When i play GTA V a loud weird noise comes out from the pc, after about 5-30Mins my PC shuts off and then turns back on but when i play low games such as GTA Sa, MTA sa my pc never shuts down and i hear no noise at all any idea what's causing this problem ?

what is your psu name and model see it if is not the one that made this sound .

Your cpu gpu and ram is ok for gta V . Does this happen ievery single time you play that game in those three months? As scout_03 said its probably your PSU giving his max power or in the worst case its a problematic one. Psu Watt?

Sorry for the late reply i had to open the computer to find my psu model here it is:
"Probox switching power supply 230V - 430 Watt"

nith95 :

At first it never happend, it started happening after a month im also doubting that the psu is not good enough for those kind of games
the pc is still new btw

I think your PSU can handle your pc specs , you can check by using this site http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator but i allready did (around 330 W if im not wrong) Check this old solution probably its temperature problems http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/115755-13-turns-playing-games

i checked the temperatures using MSI Afterburner while playing they are not overheating but the usage of the cpu goes above 70% same with the gpu

Frajmar :

gpu usage is not a problem
your cpu temperature is fine

While gta V is open you can try open task manager , right click gtav.exe , select set affinity , and select only one core (if you allready have only one core checked let us know). Test GTA V again with afterburner open and let let us know the results here

The problem is your psu. You either need more watts(likely) or your psu temps are getting too high and the temp protection kicks in(also likely.)

... but it could just as well be the VGA card too, I had this before, it's getting overheated, material is expanding and it can make a short circuit because of overheating... i took the vga card out, cleaned the contacts, reinstalled it more carefully than before and the problem went away. I'm not saying it's your solution too, I'm just saying it could be a reason. Try finding out where the noise is coming from, PSU or VGA card?

i would use this on snesor page and look at temp fans speed and psu voltages you could made a log of it and check them https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

I tried that and the game started lagging so hard https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/32677856/GrandTheftAutoV02.13.2017-18.46.25.01.png
@Phyrrus im using an adapter DVI-I to VGA do you think the adapter is overheating and makes the pc crash while playing?
@Scoutt i'll try that
