Computer restarts during games.

[Llamaz]

Hello,
I have recently installed a new motherboard and processor, here are my new system specs:
Desktop Board DX58SO2 -Motherboard
Nvidia GTS 250 -Graphics card
I7-960 -Processor
APCF power, Max600w huntkey - PSU, what it says on the box
2x 2gb DDR3 Kensington RAM

My pc runs furmark and Prime-95 fine for hours, but as soon as I start a game, the PC reboots itself. This happens on Heroes of Newerth, League of Legends, Dead Island, Deus Ex and TF2. Automatic restart is disabled and I have run memtest86, but when i came back to check it after night, the screen was garbled with weird symbols. Do I have bad ram?

Run Memtest86+ in person not unattended.

If you have faulty ram you'll know very quickly within 30mins.
The errors will be displayed in red.
Don't worry about your psu just yet.
Huntkey is a well-known brand outside of North America.
If your ram is ok i suspect your graphics drivers are to blame.
Remove the driver suite in control panel add/remove
Download DriverSweeper and run in safe mode.

Tick off Nvidia display and analyze/clean those files.
Reboot normal and download latest drivers for your gpu and install them as ADMIN.
Good luck!

I ran memtest for 40 minutes (3 passes) and it came up with no errors. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers as per your instructions, but the crashes still occur. What next?

What should I watch out for in terms of voltage? I know temperature isn't the issue, as I have the case side off and a huge fan pointed at it.

Yep anonymous1 is right!
You should now be checking out the psu.

If you have a know how to use a voltage meter to check out the supply pins =even better.

I don't really know how to interpret this, so I'll post what I thought was relevant.

Just tell me if this is useless or if I should post the whole thing.

bumpy?

Anonymous1 is right. U must swap ur PSU with more than 600 watt one.

I meant corsair 800 watt as e.g.

i7-9xx require huge power.

 

[Llamaz]

My power supply is new, got it with my mobo, are you guys sure it may be the problem? The previous reading was in error, the rails are all working fine according to Intel extreme tuning utility. Just got some new ram but the crashes still occur. Definite PSU problem?

 

[Llamaz]

the highest amperage I could find in the manual was 24A. Is this enough? I am trying to get hold of a 750W corsair to swap in to see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for all the input guys!
