Hello, I recently bough an MSI Radeon 280x, so the first thing i did was to try playing skyrim, it was ok, 60 fps at max quality, but just for 10 seconds, then the pc freezed and it started to repeat the last sound rapidly making a buzz noise, it also happens when i run furmark and when i try to update windows experience index. I decided to see the temperatures with the msi afterburner, and before the pc freezed the gpu just reached 60ºc so i don't think is a gpu problem.
i have intel core i7 3770, an ezcool 800w psu (i know is a bad psu), an asrock h61m-vg3 motherboard, and 8gb ram ddr3.
thanks

hello.
I reinstalled windows, updated driver and everything and it didn´t worked. But when i was updating experience index i noticed that maybe the gpu temperature is not related with the problem, maybe the probem is related with gpu usage . Each time pc freezes the gpu usage reaches 99-100%
i already:
updated gpu drivers.
uninstalled gpu drivers.
reinstalled gpu drivers
updated MOBO drivers.
reinstalled windows.
tested a new psu.
changed the ram slot.
i have not:
tested my gpu in another computer
tested a new motherboard
" " processor
" " ram
thanks.

i already tried to use a thermaltake 650 watt bronze certified psu, and thats not the problem, when the gpu reached 60ºc it freezes again. The person who let me tried the psu in the store recomended me to reinstall the OSI don't think that reinstalling OS will do.
-install gpu-z: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2398/techpowerup-g...
and at the sensors tag check all gpu temps not only the processor when gaiming!

I mostly suspect the PSU not being able to supply enough power at high load. I highly recommend you to change the PSU. It will kill your sysytem.u could with a voltmeter(checking the voltage flow) but to test the gpu at another pc is easier and safer.

to make sure its not the gpu test it on another pc.-another thing u could do is to test only 1 ram module in 1 slot with furmark because ur gpu is using some of ur pc ram memory and maybe its faulty
-lower the clocks and rise the fan speed with msi
-at control panel>Power Option> switch to hige performance
also check ur cpu temps with speed fan.
i'll try to lower the clocks and rise the fan speed, I have only 1 ram module and i already tried it in both slots, i think its must be a problem with the psu or with the motherboard.

I didn't said its an awesome PSU.But from the terms of power consumption that junk can give enough watts for the system even on full load.It can't that's why the problem is there. You should check This
