Best *EASY* Program to test for faulty CPU, GPU etc (stress test/troubleshoot) ??

[Bwickland]

Hey guys,

I am experiencing sudden reboots only during playing games, trying to figure out why, its really stressful.

I know to properly troubleshoot one of the first things I should do is rule out if its a heat issue or something faulty with some components, thing is I am sort of an idiot with that stuff.

I need a good solid recommendation of a program(s) I can easily run and check to see if my cpu,gpu,psu etc are not performing. And preferablly software that I couldnt harm my PC with.

Any links or safe places to download them from would be appreciated too. Thanks guys!

Heres my PC:

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W

PC Power & Cooling Fatal1ty Gaming Series 1000 Watt 80+ Gold Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance

ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0

And just upgraded graphics to a
EVGA 1070

What I Know:
*Sudden restarts only happen during gaming. (Games played when restarts happened; twice on League of Legends, few times during Total War Warhammer, and several times playin Skyrim SE) All through Steam
*Each time it would happen temps for CPU and GPU seemed perfectly fine.
*No BSOD
*No other errors in event viewer only - Kernel Power 41.
*Running Windows 7 Prof
*I checked MOBO bios, it is OLD but didn't know if its worth updating or if that could be causing it - Plus it kind of freaks me out the install process to update BIOS on my MOBO

EVGA GTX1070 have a recently discovered problem with some parts that need added heat sinks for the ACX cooler versions.
EVGA will send you a kit for you to install yourself.
Or, they will replace the card. Get that fixed first some units have actually fried.

EVGA actually have pretty good support.
