Mobo Voltages good or? pc restarting while playing games, maybe gpu faulty?

[HoboWAM]

I need help knowing if my voltages are good, i will post a picture, keep in mind, these are during a stress test on Prime 95. http://prntscr.com/i2tbdk

What power supply are you using?

Well the 12v sensor is reading 8 volts, which is not good it should be a little over 12 volts. I am not entirely sure if that is accurate, I don't think the computer would even work if that is the case. Are you using HWmontitor there? If so try HWinfo64, if it shows the same thing there may be an issue with your power supply.

I have a random white PSU that has 550W, but its kinda old

Well it is likely quite low quality if it has no brand name, if so it certinaly wont age well.

My guess would be that your power supply is causing the restarts. The 12v rail or rails are likely failing. I would replace it soon, if it fails completely it take out other parts with it.

Here you go the pics of the voltage on the motherboard, need anything else? http://prntscr.com/i2tiyj

Are BeQuiet PSUs good? The price is not that bad, its a 700W one

 

[Dunlop0078]

Yeah that looks to be accurate. That screenshot shows the 12v sensor closer to 12v. However it is still dropping to 11v so my guess would still be that the power supply is causing the issue.

Which be quiet PSU? Some are very good. What are your specs? You sure you need 700watts?

Well, the more Watts, the better, right? Its this PSU be quiet s6-sys-ua-700w, and for my specs i only have a GTX 760 that draws alot of power

No more is not better when it comes to power supply's, your just wasting money if you get more than you need. And a 700watt psu will not reach peak efficiency with the load a 760 system will put on it.

A 760 does not really draw a lot of power. A good 550watt psu is more than enough for a 760 build assuming you don't have some ridiculously power hungry CPU.

As a CPU i have a i5 2500

Yeah a good 550watt psu would be plenty. I wouldn't go higher than 650watts.

Ok, im ordering a VS550 from Corsair, thank you for your quick replies
