PC Crashes - CSGO / FurMark

[vykn]

Hello all, I have a build which is about a year and three months old.

MSI Gaming 5 - MOBO
Intel i5-4590 @ 3.30GHz w/ stock cooler - CPU
Sapphire R9 290 - GFX
G.Skill Ripjaw X 2x8GB - RAM
ThermalTake ToughPower 750W 80+ Gold - PSU
Windows 10

Roughly two months ago I began having issues while joining a CSGO game. During the loading screen to join the game, (after the lobby) my PC will fully crash and shut down.

I cleaned it out the case and components with compressed air, reseated the CMOS, used different RAM slots and verifying each RAM stick. New thermal paste, and reseated the GPU.
I've also checked my temps in game, and my CPU is 155 degrees fahrenheit or lower, and my GPU is 135 degrees fahrenheit or lower.

This problem does not happen under normal use, no hardware is overclocked.
It will work sometimes, and other times it won't. I'll be able to join a game at random, but it is not at a determined schedule or reason as far as I've been able to tell.

I downloaded FurMark to stress test my GPU, and the EXACT same symptoms as joining a CSGO occurred. The PC completely crashed when I started the test.

Possible faulty GPU/PSU?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If I play a old save of Fallout 4, it runs fine.
If I start a new game, it'll shut off during the loading screen.

Hi vykn,

Just wondering, but did you ever solve your problem? I believe I'm having almost the exact same problem with my PC. RMA'ed pretty much the entire machine except CPU and GPU. I've RMA'ed the PSU, MOBO, and RAM. Didnt RMA GPU because no dump file crash/shutdown happens without GPU installed, I use EVGA GTX960. Furmark crashes it instantly and games will crash at random, but soon after starting. Also uncommonly during normal use like browsing internet or just going through computer files. The only time I managed to "solve" the issue is by taking out the gpu and then change to an old 400w non modular PSU(down from my original EVGA 650w modular). Which led me to think maybe the PSU cables were faulty. So I even replaced the PSU cables, but to no avail. The machine lasted about 15 months working perfectly until this issue.

I replaced the PSU!
Although I RMA'd my 750w ThermalTake 80 Plus Gold, it shared similar issues!

Bought a 1000w EVGA Modular PSU and haven't had issues since.
My graphics card recommends a 750w PSU, but I figure after almost two years of having the stock CPU cooler creating temps near 170-180 degrees fahrenheit, it eventually killed the PSU..? And the RMA was defective...?

During 100% GPU loads, it seems like the power draw was too high and it'd turn off.

Either way, my R9 290 Tri-X card is a power hog and a new PSU resolved the issue.

An old save of fallout plays fine, new game crashes...?

what ....in the name of.... all that is holy..!.

Sounds more like a game or driver snafu....

Update to the latest, remove game, reinstall game....?

I replaced the PSU!
