Hello everyone,
I have recently built a new PC and everything has been running smoothly until I have tried playing The Witcher 3.
Windows will randomly restart itself during playing the game, I have disabled the auto restart option in the system settings, but I still get no BSOD. It is as though the PC has just been turned off for a split second, but rather than going off and staying off it restarts.
I have also noticed occasionally that the screen will go blank but the PC carries on running, again, this is only during gaming, specifically The Witcher 3. I suspect that this points towards the graphics card, but I cannot be sure.
My CPU temp is not getting above 50 degrees and my GPU is sitting at around 58 degrees, I think that these temperatures are more than acceptable.
The PC was only built 3 days ago, so far I have tried reseating the graphics card, checking all of the power connections, checking PSU voltages in the BIOS (which are all ok), doing a clean install of the graphics drivers, uninstalling AI Suite 3 and using the cleaner tool (It seemed to be OCing the GPU) and changing the PSU power cord and plugging it directly into a wall socket.
Would really appreciate any suggestions as what to try next.
Specs are as follows:
Intel i7 4790k
ASUS Maximus Ranger VII
ASUS GTX 970
Corsair RM750 PSU
Kingston Hyper X Beast 4 x 4GB
