    Question GTX 970 suddenly crashing five minutes into games, was working fine until I replaced PSU

    Lmao not sure how I can be more clear, we’re just going in circles. One more time: my old psu was crashing my system. I know it wasn’t the 970 doing this because it would crash when I tried the 760 too. I also know the 970 was working before because I was playing on it just fine before the PSU...

    Question GTX 970 suddenly crashing five minutes into games, was working fine until I replaced PSU

    The motherboard seems to be the same as always, not sure how to check if it’s faulty. The CPU and RAM were working with the 970 before, 6300 gets a bit of bottleneck I’ve heard but it wouldn’t cause this problem. Already compared with the 760, it works in games. But that doesn’t tell me...

    Question GTX 970 suddenly crashing five minutes into games, was working fine until I replaced PSU

    specs: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P Corsair CX500M / Seasonic Focus Gold 550w EVGA Geforce Gtx 760 / ASUS Strix Gtx 970 FX 6300 and 8gb of Dell RAM lol I know the video card seems to be the problem, it makes sense that it’s the one crashing and turning off the monitor while the system stays on, I just...

    Question GTX 970 suddenly crashing five minutes into games, was working fine until I replaced PSU

    There’s only one PCI-E connection on the power supply, and only one cable they provided for connecting to a graphics card. All 8 pins are connected and it seems to be plugged in all the way on both. Temperatures seem to be fine, it crashes too soon for it to even get hot, and when I ran it...

    Question GTX 970 suddenly crashing five minutes into games, was working fine until I replaced PSU

    tl;dr basically the title lol I’ve had my computer in storage for a bit now but I decided to get it back out after getting an old gtx 970 from a friend. I was enjoying it fine for a day or so till my system started fully crashing in games. My PSU was about 5 years old and making a loud sound...

    [SOLVED] GTX 970 shutting down a few minutes into games

    Alright I finished doing the whole drivers process through ddu. Was also going to update BIOS but apparently there’s only been one update since 2014, it’s a beta one, and it says it’s only for the CPU so I figured I wouldn’t need to. I tried running a game again and it did the same thing...

    [SOLVED] GTX 970 shutting down a few minutes into games

    Hey, I just updated a few things on my old system and now I'm getting a monitor shut down and glitch out when in games for a few minutes. The system stays on but I have to reset it. I just got an old 970 from my brother, and updated my 5+ year old 500w PSU to be able to use it (I tried with...

    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2WAte Alright, so I think I've gotten pretty much everything figured out for my build, but I would like to ask the community for their opinions on it, along with a few questions I have myself: 1) Does everything in this list look good? 2) What monitor should I get...

    Best 1440p Gaming Monitor

    So I've seen this thread a couple times, but none had concerns that involved myself. I have searched on Amazon for multiple monitors and no matter what if I'm looking at an IPS monitor someone complains about ghosting and if it's a TN monitor someone complains it looks washed out and the colors...
