Hi guys, just thought i'd post up a little problem that i've been having with my new build.
I assembled all my parts and got the PC up and running, everything was running great and installed the OS and all the drivers for the mobo, gpu, etc and ran all the updates. It was all runnnig fine for well over 2 hours.
Decided i'd have a crack at playing a game (It is why i built the system after all), i got about half an hour into the game and then it suddenly switched off, no blue screen, just powered off... i automatically assumed it was a heating issue so i restarted and went into the BIOS, checked all the temperatures and everything seemed well within operating temps. All the fans were running fine and the temp limits are all set pretty high.
Got back into the game then 10 minutes later it shut off again. Hmm, ok looks more like a overheating issue. I then removed the case and disconnected all non essential peripherals. All that remained was the motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler, RAM and mobo speaker. This time it remained running for a couple of seconds.
Does this sound like a PSU problem? My PC specs are:
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64bit
Mobo: ASUS ROG Maximum V Gene
CPU: Intel core i7 3770k
RAM: GSKILL 16GB dual channel kit
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX670
PSU: XFX 750W 80+ certified.
Case: Thermaltake Overseer.
