hello this is the first time writing here.
I have a few problems with my gtx 1060 ever since i installed it everything went well for an hour and then it stopped and restarted and now i keep getting it with demanding games and with some games my gpu only uses 10% to 40% in game and i get in my favorite game csgo and other less demanding games i get in between 40 and 150 fps because of the low gpu usage but i see people with the same videocard and cpu run it with 200 to 300 fps so basicaly i have a problem with demanding games that my computer keeps restarting and with less demanding games like csgo i get less gpu usage and so less fps then i should
ive got a fx 8350 black series
a gigabyte gtx 1060 windforce oc
500w power supply
a gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard
I would love if someone could help me
my english is a little bit bad because im not from an english speaking country
 
Solution


huge red flag


test with a proper power supply

I wil try a new one do you have any recomandations for a psu?
 


tier 1 or 2 unit from this list


500w or better

also install amd overdrive and check cpu thermals while you play, post back if it reaches 0 or a negative number ( thermal throttling ) this can also affect performance
 


do you think this will do great?
