PC keeps randomly restarting when playing games

-NickC · Apr 28, 2017

Hey guys, so I built my pc back in January and haven't had this problem, but as of recently whenever I start playing a game like CS:GO or h1z1 my computer randomly keeps restarting and its multiple times and finally it will just be fine.

I have an

i7-6700k
GTX 1070
Kraken x61 liquid cooling and the temps on the PC are normal

I just cant figure out what the problem is but its really getting frustrating. Any advice?

Thanks

Reboots while gaming are typically due to:
1) Bad power supply
2) Bad Temps
3) Unstable Overclock
4) Bad drivers

Well, I know it cant be the temps, I did a gaming mode on my MSI gaming app which is like a small overclock but its automatic, I don't mess with any settings.

How can I determine if its a bad power supply? I don't have another one so I couldn't swap them out but would there be another way to test? Also by drivers could it mean any driver or mainly graphics drivers?

Look in event viewer for any stop or warnings about the time of the restart.

But, I'd lean towards problem with psu. What's make/model/age?

Anything in the logs? If it doesn't do it unfer light loads but does under heavy I would definitely lean PSU.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm supposed to be looking at exactly, but most of the errors are from "DistributedCOM" and a critical one from "Kernel-Power" I posted some gyazos below

error code 41 generally relates to a power supply issue as your poster above had a feeling .

Your EVGA is it a B1/G1 model or B2/G2 model?
The B1/G1 is not very good and can ultimatly have issues like what you are having.

If it is a B1/G1 then replace it, if B2/G2 contact EVGA for RMA.
