Recently my old pc broke,so I took the family computer and I made it my own by upgrading the power supply and moving my graphics card into it.I just recently downloaded the drivers last week and I have had the GPU it in for about 1 month and realized it wasn't working so then I downloaded the drivers,then it was working fine.

So yesterday I got on my pc and I was about to play some overwatch and then my pc just restarted.My Keyboard and mouse were still glowing up still though.And the screen went black restarted and did it again multiple times.

And now I can't start any games without the computer restarting.I might have downloaded the wrong drivers but I don't know please help.My plan is to uninstall the old drivers that I have and install the new ones hopefully the correct ones because the old ones might have been wrong.I'm pretty sure this is a GPU problem please help thanks.Should I just use integrated graphics until I download the new drivers then reinstall it or what.

Also can someone give me the link to an AMD driver scan so I can actually get the right drivers.Please help I am worried.


GPU-hd7870(amd)
ps.This is a prebuilt computer that I have adjusted for gaming.
Thanks again.

1| It's good etiquette to post your full system's specs when posting a thread of troubleshooting nature. List them as:
CPU:
Motherbaord:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Even if it's a prebuilt, I'm sure you can find out it's specs using CPU-Z and with a smartphone take pics for unfamiliar hardware.

2| Your first paragraph reads out like you were running off the GPU without the drivers, is that right?

3| The point where your system reboots after the system is being taxed is an indication that your PSU can't provide the power necessary for your system and in this event it's being triggered by the GPU or the entire system therein.

4| You should be able to find any AMD related drivers here. Mind you, you should be using DDU to uninstall your previous AMD drivers and reinstall the latest revision. There may be an exception whereby you have to use previous revisions if the latest is unstable. Speaking of which, which drivers have you tried? What was(past tense) the GPU on the system you're on now?

I will send the specs when I get home sorry about that.Also I was running off no drivers at first but recently I downloaded the drivers.And then the problem came about.To test if it is the drivers i'm gonna redownload the right ones.I was wondering why does this psu problem come around now after I have had it in with drivers with about 2 weeks?
