So As many of you know BF1's beta came out a couple days ago, I played it on my machine with an FX-8350, 16gb of RAM and a Zotac AMP! GTX 1080, The machine works great, no hiccups besides the massive bottleneck from the fx-8350.
I upgraded the CPU to an intel core i7 4790K and a gigabyte z97 gaming 7, boot up the pc, activate windows and run some stability tests via prime 95 and Rise of the tomb raider (DX12, EVERYTHING maxed) and saw no performance dipping at all. no throttling etc...
Every game works great on this machine, no issues at all. But then I load up the beta, search for a game, the map loads and as soon as its about to use the gpu, it turns off, no blue screen, no error messages, it just goes black. and automatically restarts.
The pc turns on like nothing happened and runs pretty good after. But if I go to load the BF1 beta it just does it again. so thinking my psu may be the issue, I play some pretty demanding games like the witcher, and Rise of the tomb raider, Bf4. surely I could recreate the issue in another game, well I cant. so i dont think it is the psu anymore.
Thermals are a little higher than id care for with a i7 4790k, maxing out under extreme load @ 77C via msi afterburner (I am probably going to re seat the cooler but i dont think the heat is the issue). but like i said I cant recreate the issue on any other games. and I have been trying. Any ideas as to why this is happening? could it be the mobo/chipset getting too hot? or maybe an amd driver that i missed. I'm just sort of confused by this one.
Specs for people who want to know:
Intel Core i7 4790k (says 4.00ghz but for some reason is running @ 4.3ghz)
Gigabyte z97 G1 gaming 7
16bg Kingston HyperX Fury ddr3
Zotac AMP! GTX 1080
EVGA 600w Silver 80+ (ive had people unable to find this psu in the past so here's a link)(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-80-plus-600w-atx-12v-eps-12v-power-supply-black/8511029.p?id=1219693073473&skuId=8511029)
