Computer Restarting During Gaming and Stress Test

GazelleKing · Mar 10, 2017

I had recently been having issues where my computer would restart at random while gaming, but it doesn't happen any other times. I had thought it might be my graphics card, so I replaced that, but the issue is still there. I decided to run the OCCT PSU test, and it restarted after about 5 seconds, maybe less. Is this enough say I should replace the power supply? I've already run a CPU stress test and a memory test.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-4670K
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard
2x4 GB G.Skill Sniper Series 1886
MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X
Corsair HX Series HX750 Gold
Windows 10 64bit

That was a good PSU in its day but it is an older model, it may well be worn out. Sounds like its clipping out when pushed. Time for a new one.

your problem could be caused by the psu yes

but mainboard could be a factor there too

also gpu

can you try first another psu before buying another?

also try with another gpu?

He tried another GPU already. It's most likely the power supply unit. Before changing it out I would blow out ALL the dust from inside the unit. Sometimes, dust can cause overheating or shorting issues overtime. If it doesn't work then replace PSU.
