PC Restarted while playing BF4

[HardcoreNerd]

Hey Y'all,

I was playing BF4 and my pc just restarted. I checked my Minidump file and there was a .dmp file (061115-20203-01) at the time of restart. I'm new to this, please help.

My Specs:
fx6300 (3.5 ghz)
r9 280x (1000mhz)
500W psu
I have everything at stock clocks.

I'm supposing it was a BSOD because there is a minifile dump .dmp file there at the time of restart
I downloaded bluescreenview to check the crash and there's a crap ton of things listed.
ntoskrnl.exe
hal.dll
kdcom.dll
mcupdate.dll
werkernel.sys
CLFS.sys
tm.sys

And a lot more. I'm new to this so any help is appreciated...

It's scary because this PC is less than 1 month old 🙁

What model and brand is your PSU ?
How looks you CPU/GPU temps ? You can use this to check http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

My cpu temps range from 35C to 55C
Gpu temps range from 35C to 68C

and this is my psu http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-W1-0500-KR

I used HWmonitor and ran benchmark tests on Unigine Valley and got the above results.

You can still return PSU and swap for better ?
Because your PC need ~ 455W - PSU can provide 487W and can restart due PSU overheat * check exhaust air from PSU.
You need always 15-20% more PSU capacity to be safe.

Simply your PSU most likely cannot handle peak power consumption.

Hmmm.. Hadn't thought of that. I'll run a benchmark test/ stress test and check the ehat fo psu... it's cool right now..

Do not go for both in this same time your PSU will most liekly not handle this * this synthetic tests can draw a loot off Watts.

How fast you go restart while play in BF4 ?

This is the first time it happened. Also, do you have any PSU recommendations. I'm on a tight budget and this issue has me distraught.

Honestly, I'm not sure. After the computer restarted, I checked the minidump files and there was a .dmp file at the time the computer restarted.

I don't have a traditional monitor. I'm using my40in tv.
