Question PC restars when using an emulator

[darkrisin]

hi guys, i have a problem, when using RPCS3 which is a PS Emulator, i can get good fps and all that but after 22 minutes to an hour and half of playing the screen goes black and the pc restarts, ive been thinking it might be the PSU but when i go into any other game the PC works perfectly, i have checked the temps of the CPU and GPU while using the emulator and its nothing out of the ordinary, like i said any other game puts a lot more strain in the pc and it just works fine.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
CPU: AMD FX 8350
GPU: Radeon r9 270x
RAM: 8GB
PSU: Corsair GS700

What are "not out of the ordinary" temps? What other games are you using to test?

Uusing the emulator GPU gets to 62°, CPU to 62°, while playing games like Dark Souls 3 or Batman Arkham Knight the pc get GPU 72° and the CPU 69°

CPU to 62°... and the CPU 69°

Yeah, those aren't right. If you were using the correct temp monitor, the cpu should be in idle.
Check that again with AMD Overdrive.

oh sorry, those temps were in celsius so about 156.2° when playing dark souls 3 and about 143.6° when using the emulator.

Still not correct, since AMD reads the FX cpus for 'distance from TJmax', and not the actual temperature.
The FX-8350 has a Thermal Margin of 61C: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series FX-8350.html

With thermal margin measurements, the number GOES DOWN FROM 61C. Check with AMD Overdrive, because we don't actually know if your cpu is overheating or not.

ok but with overdrive what should i show you?



that is while playing dark souls 3

The key is what the thermal margin is when emulating, not when playing Dark Souls.

 

[darkrisin]

ok, this two are while emulating.





i took this on the same place of the game.
