I ran 3D mark today and my PC shuts off only on the ice storm. I Ran Fire Strike too which is much more stressful and my PC did fine but on ice storm it starts making weird noises and then shuts off. so i turned off my auto restart to see if i get a blue screen when it shuts off but i did not, so im guessing my PSU; just want some back up thoughts or solutions from you guys. By the way i cant tell if the noise it makes is from gpu or psu :( I have:
AMD Raedon 280x
EVGA 750B
AMD 6350 for processor

If it helps, my PC shuts off only on Rome Total war II start screen after i change settings to ultra including changing to 11 directX and Lords of the fallen if i ever alt-tab when its loading the game from steam. it runs every other game with no problem for hours, including Darksouls 2, CS GO, Battlefield 4, Witcher 2, ETC. (on ultra). oh also sniper ghost warrior 2 after i changed it to 11 DirectX.

I used to have that EVGA 750B, that is a horrible PSU man.
I've also got R9 280X. The multiple 12V rail is not really good for our GPU.

I recommend changing your PSU as soon as possible. get the 750B2, or 750G1.

The EVGA 750B1 is horrible.

For two R9 280X? You're not going to need that much friend. EVGA 850G2 is a very good power supply. That's what I've been using for three months now and I've got no problems with it. It's gonna be enough for a lot of two GPUs out there. :D
