pc crashes on heavy graphics load

[Emkot]

When i launch black ops 3 after the activision logo when it asks to press enter.. at maximum graphics with 140% render resolution... the pc crashes and restarts. This also happens with battlefield 1 beta and battlefront consistently. I've tested the cpu ram and gpu and they turned out to have no problem. However all the games seem to run at low settings but even in game when you turn the graphics at maximum and in battlefront even at high it crashes again. This began to occur around a month ago and previously i could play any of the games with the highest of graphics.

Faulty PSU is my guess.

Typically, a high load (heavy graphics load) that results in a failure, especially a failure that can be repeated indicates a PSU failure. Also the PSU brand CoolerMaster isn't the best, not horrible just not great. I recommend Seasonic G, XFX TS, EVGA SuperNova G2, GS, P2.

You can try running MemTest86 to rule out memory problems, this test is slow and you need to run multiple passes to rule out memory issues.

ok thx for the advice i will update it as soon as i know more

Turn off autorestart and read info from BSOD.

How did you test the video card? Is/was the system overclocked? Did you monitor the temps during gaming?

temps at all time were monitored and we have 2 computers and so we tested the card there.. and everything was smooth af. and no it only had the normal like boost..

It sounding more and more like a PSU failure. If the CPU and GPU are in there normal operating temperature range then that leaves the PSU

 

[Emkot]

how exactly can i test if the psu is faulty or not ?

yeah yeah i had tried this already
