OS: Win XP SP.
PC:
Videocard: Sapphire HD 3870 X2
Processor: Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Mainboard: GIGABYTE DQ6 X38 (Latest BIOS on Gigabyte website)
Memory: GeiL BlackDragon DDR2 2GB @ 800MHz
Soundcard: SB Live 5.1
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Modular
Everything at default clocks.
When playing Crysis on very high (DX9) settings my PC shuts down at some point between 5 minutes and 10 (random).
Things checked:
-I have the 6pin + the 8pin connected. (btw, why the Sapphire has only one 6pin while the rest have two 6pin and one 8pin connectors?)
-I have the molex cable that supplies extra power to the PCI slots on the motherboard connected.
-I tried CAT 8.2, 8.3, 8.3+hotfix (using Driver Cleaner when deleting).
-Temp goes at 81ºC max when auto, but I tried with the fan blowing at 50% constantly with RivaTuner and it still shuts down.
The rest of games I've played plays just fine (for example I played Oblivion for an hour straight and nothing weird. Everything maxed out with the QTP3).
I remember I played Crysis on very high (DX9) settings with my 8800gt for hours and it never made my PC shut down just like if someone pulled off the power cable out.
I refuse to belive a Thermaltake 750W is not suppling enought power to a system that has nothing overclocked.
Please, help ASAP.
