PC restarts when doing heaven benchmark

[Aaron_Somi]

It restarted 5 times and then my pc worked fine. I have a corsiar cx750wm, gtx 780 and i5 4670k. I have not overclocked anything. My gpu temps were under 65 degrees during testing but i did not see cpu. I have a stock intel cooler.

Monitor the CPU temps. That could be the issue here.

would speedfan be good for measuring this

go to control panel then system properties in the startup and recovery section under advanced turn off the automatically restart computer, then either take note of the blue screen error code or check the log for the fault and then google it, it could be a bad driver install or faulty hardware etc

 

[Yamitime]

Speedfan ,msi afterburner and coretemp all have what your looking for

I'm not so sold on it being a temperature issue. Heaven is designed to rely very little on your CPU. It sounds to me more like a faulty power supply. Do you happen to have access to another power supply you can test with, maybe a friends or another machine?

Things like these are usually pretty hard to troubleshoot over forums, but does it also happen if you run Prime95 for a while?

where did you download the program from ?? have you tried to uninstall it and re-download it to see if something went wrong with that ?? last time I got heaven I think I got it from techpowerup ?? it works fine with my 4670- no issues

I installed an ssd yesterday if that might have anything to do with it

 

[junkeymonkey]

what else you running doing all this ?? cause its just a program like the rest ???

It restarted with just chrome running

 

[junkeymonkey]

is it too late to go back to your old drive to see if it good to go then you may look at somethings up with that new drive -- hard to ssay on that maybe due to the ssd firmware or needs a update to work on your build or a incorrect bios setting -- lots to conceder and look at on just that?? I don't use ssd so I anit much more help there

remove chrome and retest things it can cause resource issues at times-- google chrome is a resource hog and see whats said on that deal

reason I say this is that for example you got 4gb of memory and chrome hogs up 3gb and then you want to run something that needs 2gb to run and chrome don't release any for it to that program is going to crash cause it cant get the resource it needs to do so and is the same for the cpu useage as well so there may lie your problem if so...
