PC Reboots when playing certain games

[trebor901]

PC ALSO REBOOTS PLAYING WAR THUNDER

PC SPECS - i7 8700k (Turbo Boost enabled)
16GB DDR4 3000MHZ
GTX 1080TI MSI TRIO
MSI Z370 CARBON
500GB M.2 SSD
3TB HDD
Aerocool P7 (Project 7) 850W PLAT
NZXT KRAKEN X52

ACER 27" 1440P 165HZ G SYNC

Hi guys my pc keeps rebooting after a few minutes of playing the Witcher 3. There is no BSOD and the computer instantly reboots, temperatures are fine GPU sits around 60-75c and CPU sits around 45-60c.

I have run PRIME95 and FURMARK at the same time so everything is pulling a lot of power and i get no crash.

Games i have experienced crashes on -
War Thunder
Witcher 3

Any ideas?

I have already
1.Fully Wiped then reinstalled GPU drivers
2.Reseated GPU
3.Set Bios to default

I have already sent off the GPU for RMA and they sent it back reporting there were no faults with it.

First thoughts would be temps then power supply but based on your description we can pretty much rule that out.

Next thing that comes to mind is ram. A computer straight restarting with no bsod is commonly a symptom of failing ram.

What you can do is take out every stick of ram you have and put one back in at a time and try again. If it doesn’t crash one of your sticks are failing, you can then rinse and repeat to find the faulty stick.

EDIT: not sure how much pc building experience you have but if you do try this make sure you’re putting the single stick in the right module, they will be numbered 1 through 4 and you’ll need to put it in 1, if you’re unsure which is which refer to your mb manual.

if you could have another psu around for test that would be nice .

 

[trebor901]

Just tried both RAM sticks one at a time and it still crashes, unfortunately i don't have another PSU lying around.

 

[scout_03]

see if a friend could help you it is to do a power test only under load .

Do you have a second monitor? If so Bring up temps and task manager on your second monitor and watch them closely before it crashes, tell me if there is any spikes in usage (cpu, ram, hdd) and also take note of the temps as it crashes

 

[scout_03]

you could use hwinfo to check temp on sensor page and made a log of it so you could check after the crash .

MERGED QUESTION
Question from trebor901 : "War Thunder Crashing PC and CSGO FPS Issues"

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help. I have an issue with my new build with a couple of games.

Specs -
I7 8700K
MSI TRIO 1080TI
16GB DDR4 3000MHZ
500GBM.2 SSD - GAMES ARE INSTALLED HERE
850W PLAT AEROCOOL PSU

I am running two 1440p monitors and the one i game on has gsync enabled.

War Thunder Issues -
Everytime i start war thunder once i get past the title screens the game literally crashes my pc and then the PC reboots

CSGO Issues -
CPU and GPU usuage are running very low and i only get around 150fps on an empty map where as on my old i5 4670k 980ti build i could reach 250+ - is this the games fault or a problem with my system

In comparison i am running FAR CRY 5 maxed out at 1440p at an average of 100fps the witcher 3 at 90-120fps maxed out.

I had the same problem when I played Gmod on a very lower system than yours.

For War Thunder (The game that gives you a Blue screen of death):

1. Try Lowering the Graphics. (I know that you PC is a high-end one but give it a try)

2. What is your Operating System?

3. Close the programs running on the backround, That way the cpu usage may decrease. Don't Forget to check The System Tray or App Dock.

I haven't owned a Gaming Pc before so i don't a lot about them.
I hope I helped.

Okay so I made sure all cables are connected to mobo and psu. Also made sure to directly connect pc to main socket. Still have crashes. Interesting is if I start war thunder on high settings there is no crash but there is if I run it in max. Escape from tarkov has also crashes since. Assassins creed origins does not seem to crash at all. All temps seem fine before shutdown.

 

[hahapingazzz]

Sounds like it’s more then likely a psu issue, but without more extensive testing (trying another psu in the system) its impossible to be sure.

A bad dimm slot is also possible albeit very unlikely.

I don't know much about aerocool myself, but my guess is the power supply is to weak to power that 1080ti when it starts asking for more voltage as you turn up settings. When you turn down settings it can dial back the power consumption a bit, so I'm saying power supply as well.

 

[trebor901]

So you think that the psu may be faulty rather than 850w not being enough to power the system. Although I do find it strange as it's fine doing a stress test.

 

[ohiou_grad_2006]

The reviews seem good on it, but in my opinion, that behavior seems to indicate power supply issues. It seems as though you should try a different power supply.

 

[scout_03]

to stress test psu use occt .
