Hello all,
Whenever I play a game (usually something with high graphics) after a certain period of time the 20 amp breaker trips. Now this never happened when I only had one monitor but once I included a second monitor then it would trip the breaker. It would be hit or miss when the breaker trips but it would happen once and a while and mostly when I'm playing a game.
With that said I tried several things; I've tried switching to a different monitor, I've tried connecting the second monitor to the integrated video card instead of my GPU, I even tried switching rooms. None of which solved the problem.
My thinking it's either the power supply or the GPU but I don't know for sure. I mean I can't rule out a faulty motherboard either so I'm kind of at a loss right now.
Now nothing else is in this bedroom besides my computer setup, a lamp, and a printer.
Computer specs:
- Intel Core i5-2500 3300 Mhz (quad core)
- Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd Z68A-D3H-B3
- 8 GB DDR3-1600 Memory
- Western Digital WDCWD3200AAJS-00VWA0 Hard Drive
- Main Monitor (LG L192WS)
- Second Monitor (Dell E197FP)
- Sandy Bridge Integrated Graphics Controller (4GB)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 (4GB)
- Thermaltake TR-600 "TR2-600NL2NC"
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
