Random pc shutdowns in games

[kantaki]

hello,

since some weeks i get random pc shutdowns and i don't know why.

spec

be quit 600w

amd 6880

intel i5 2450

i double checked the temp of my cpu / gpu which is perfectly fine.
I don't know what causes this problem. Maybe other parts of my system causes random system shutdowns ?

Is there a way to log them ?

Any ideas ?

What's the brand of your Power supply? That could be the culprit. You should grab like Seasonic, Corsair or Silverstone they are quality PSU

it's the "Be quite 600W 80+"

Check the event viewer to see if it lists any problems around the time your computer shuts down. Normally a PC shuts down when there is a heating problem or a PSU problem. If you have a spare computer, try swapping out the PSU. Also, make sure all ram and PCI/e cards are inserted all the way.

Okay i got one fatal error. Source " Kernel-Power ". This should be the PSU right ?

But I got no problems if I just surf on the web, only if i play games. Do you think thats definitly a psu problem?

i think I have on old PSU somewhere but dunno if this has enough power :/

check that you got latest bios for your motherboard. I'm also curious to know where did you get a 6880?

not to be a bother, but it would help that after double posting you at least got the spelling right on the PSU model...

do me a favor and list all your system specs so we can see if you got enough juice.

The description for event ID 41 is The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly which we already know.

Do you have decent power in your house/apartment? If your lights blink a lot or if the refridgerator kicking on causes lights to dim momentarily, you might want to look into getting a UPS. At this time I reccomend trying a different PSU as i think this is the most likely problem.

Tried my old PSU, seems to be fine now

Thanks

Ah, well, get a good PSU like one of the ones venjhammet mentioned. The lower tiered PSU's don't hold up as well. I tend to like Seasonic PSU's.

 

[kantaki]

what do you think of this one ?

Corsair's builder series is their lower end product. this may work for you, but you may want one of their better units.

This review is for the 450W, but some applies to the entire builder's series.
