I Need your help guys.
My PC Specs:
MSI B85m E45 Motherboard
Antec 500W PSU
Intel Core i3-4130
8 GB Kingston Hyperx Fury RAM
MSI Gtx 960 2GB GDDR5
WD Blue 1TB 7200 rpm HDD
Dell S2216H monitor
Windows 10 pro
I've been facing this problem that whenever i start to load up a game, the PC reboots. And it happens every time, no matter how graphically intensive the game is (even when playing the original Call of Duty 4, Rocket league).
The PC remains perfectly stable otherwise
I've put so much time to try and understand the problem but i couldn't find it.
I've tried:
-Running Memtest
-Disk Checkup
-Opening the case and cleaning as much as i could, checking connections to all components
-Installing windows 7 in dual boot to ensure problem is not software based (The PC still rebooted in
windows 7)
-Checked for missing drivers: none
-Running Games in Compatibility Mode
-Running CPU and GPU stress tests to see if either of them is overheating and causing the reboot:
Ans.No
-Using MSI afterburner to monitor CPU, GPU temps in games, the PC reboots at perfectly fine
temperatures.
This build has been working perfectly since April 2016.
Please help me find a solution to this problem, this is my first build.
Update: I was using the stress test incorrectly, turns out the PC reboots just a moment after i run any benchmark/ stress test (furmark, etc), also the CPU stress test does fine but the PC also reboots on the GPU stress test.
I'm thinking the Power supply cant handle the additional power requirement as soon as GPU work is required.
