Howdy, I just upgraded my PC, I'm currently running an Intel i7 6700k on a gigabyte z170 (I think I can't remember right now) gaming 5 mobo with 16gb 3200mhz ram and the 1070.
I didn't upgrade my psu so I am reusing about a 4 year old corsair hx850.
So the problem is whenever I load a game like path of Exile or rocket league ("taxing") my computer will just crash and reboot. No blue screen just a crash. Nothing seems to be overheating in my hwmonitor. But I can play a game like league of legends just fine. In fact I was able to crank ultra on Witcher 3 with hair works and it didn't crash it seems to just be with the games I like to play haha
Reading online people are saying it can have to do with the psu, this would make sense as my old card was a 660 and only need the 6pin pci power and this card uses a 6+8 but I don't understand all that voltage stuff, as far as the bios it's reading the 12v to be 12.05xx V which seems pretty regular
Would you suggest that it's the psu or the GPU?
