My pc restarts when i load a game

[Simen_2]

Hi, my pc has been working just as it should until now. Whenever i load any game, the screen freezes and it looks like several pixels just goes crazy, after a few seconds, the pc will reboot with no notification.

I've had times were the pc does not reboot, but just crashes the game and then gives me a message in the notification tab: "display driver stopped responding and has recovered." I searched this up and tried to uninstall the graphics card driver and reinstall it with no luck. I have also updated the geforce driver.

I am not sure what it is, but i am guessing it is something about the graphics card or the hardware.

I appriciate any help, since its not so fun to have a gaming pc without playing games on it.

Specs:
Geforce gtx 780Ti
Intel core-i7
16gb ram
Msi gaming motherboard
Windows 7

List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
^ be as specific as possible(with the make and model) since the motherbaord you've listed is just a generic term. It has a series/chipset that defines it's set of drivers and BIOS updates. Same can be said about the graphics card. Speaking of graphics card, which driver revision did you use?

A reboot when you tax your system is an indication that the PSU is failing at it's duty though that will be judged after you reveal the make and model of the PSU as well as it's age.

Like it sounds the gpu when go from idle to boost you psu fail, idk one reason of the crash if that the card cant reach the overclock ( in you case the boost). But well is a Corsair RM 850 so its soo strange...
