I recently upgrade my GPU from an EVGA GTX 970 to an XFX RX 580 Black edition and now in ArmA 3 my computer randomly shuts off. I have the latest drivers, BIOS, etc. The microsoft event log really seems unhelpful with the exception of telling me what time my computer shut off at. I'm pretty much at a loss here.
Arma 3 seems to be the only game in which this happens and it is a very CPU intensive game. I have my CPU oc'd at 4.1 GHz and I haven't tried toning that down. However, I felt like it was a safe bet since my computer ran just fine when I only had it oc'd to 4.0 GHz with my 970.
However, I had only been playing about an hour when I got the random restart this past time while I played 4 hours last night with no issues.
Specs:
ASUS Sabertooth X79
Intel i-7 3930K @ 4.1 GHz
16 GB 1866MHz PNY Anarchy RAM
XFX RX 580 Black Edition
240 GB PNY Optima SSD
1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD
1TB Seagate HDD
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Frio
Other Fans: 2x 200mm fans, 1x 120mm rear exhaust fan
