hello everyone,
have a bit old pc that i use for gaming.
6 months ago my amd readon r9 got burnt i replaced it with
GTX 1060 3gb since then my pc while gaming sometimes shutdown and restart it self,
tried to monitor my temps and seems im hitting the range of 80-83 degrees on my cpu and the gpu temps seems also fine.
cant find the reasons,


specs:
CPU: i5 3470
PSU: antec vp650
MB: msi b75a-ie35
GPU: Gtx 1060 3gb
RAM: 4gbX2
dont have any spare parts to test

Can you look with Hwinfo what the temps are really for the cpu? THis will also display voltages most of the times,depends abit on whether the motherboard is supported.

Or,

Download the next program=hwinfo32,

You can open hwinfo32,after that open the sensor window by marking sensors=V,after that click run
Also make sure you deleted the AMD drivers with DDU.Since the drivers are not in use could you imo do without going into safe mode,but that's up to you.
