Issue with first build
Last response: in Systems
Hey guys, I recently built my first PC, everything seems to be working fine until I put the GPU under load.
Whenever I play games or watch movies after about 5-10 minutes it suddenly crashes. I have tried installing the latest drivers, but I am not sure where to go from here. Here's my Build:
Intel i5-2500k
Asus P8P67 PRO
G.Skill 8gb (2x4gb)
MSI GeForce 560 ti Twin Frozr
Corsair 650TX
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1tb
NZXT Phantom
Thanks for the help.

Alright, sorry for the late reply, was out of town for a few days. I ran memtest86 and everything came out OK. I also checked the temps:
CPU: Topped out at 51°C
Video Card: 64°C
Motherboard: 31°C
Also, I can watch You Tube videos without a problem until I make them full screen, at which point the computer resets. Not sure if this matters but the resolution of my monitor is 1920x1080.
Thanks Again.
Edit: Also I was unable to find a way to test my PSU. Except for the paper clip method, which seemed more of a way to see if a PSU worked prior to an install, but I could be wrong.
