Symptoms : Computer restarts while playing BF1 after few minutes

(Nothing happens when using ordinary applications for number of hours)

Rig :
MOB : MSI Z270 Tomahawk - new
Intel 7700k - new
+ Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED - new
GPU : PNY GTX1080 - new
DDR4 : Kingston HyperX 16 GB 2666 - new
SSD : 256 GB - new
HDD : 1TB from previous build
PSU : Cooler Master GM650M - from previous built.

Thermal paste is really good quality - and trust me guys - there's enough of it.

Any suggestions guys ? I can't believe it might be PSU - it's only about 2 years old ...

Did you monitor temp?

CPU and GPU temps while playing bf1?

I did guys - it never goes over 45 degrees...

 

[angruchickenwing]

I checked once more - temperatures are actually between 45 - 64. I think once it hit's 65 it shuts down - does that make sense ?

 

[BigBoomBoom]

No that doesn't make sense but you maybe right it's the PSU. Your CPU only throttle at 100C so 65C is very cool for it.

I plugged in Power Meter Monitor similar to one on the picture and never seen value over 250 W !

... it must be dust on the inside of PSU. I'll get air duster later on and try to update you guys with results...

 

[angrychickenwing]

So... Cleaned up PSU with air duster (even though it wasn't really dirty), downgraded drivers and still... PC restarts after few minutes of playing BF1

 

[angrychickenwing]

So... I purchased today Playersuknown Battlegrouds just to run additional check on a different game. PC Restarts straight when I try to run the game... I upgraded drivers back to latest ones... Any ideas ?

Faulty GPU, PSU not delivering enough power or (rather unlikely) some strange motherboard failure are top three suspects.
Check GPU in other comp, check different PSU in yours.

GPU is brand new...
MOB - brand new...
PSU ... 2 years and 1 month - warranty expired a month ago...

Now that I think about it - I had similar symptoms using different MOB and processor with same PSU ... Is there any way of checking PSU's functionality ?

The fact that component is brand new does not guarantee it is fully operational. Yes, quality control should catch up faulty units. But should is the key word here ...
As for PSU, there's paperclip test, but that only shows if PSU is not totally dead, so no help here.

I think I'm going use my ancient multimeter and run some tests on voltages... Thanks DRagor.

And again ... I had similar issues previously while using this psu. Don't think anything else could be faulty since reboot only occurs while bigger load is presented. I've tried now 5 completely different versions of GTX drivers... I think that's enough.
