PC restarts while playing games

[Cst90Ro]

My PC shuts down and restarts instantly but i get "no signal" on the monitor after it restarts.
I have to shut it down and start it again from the button in order to work...

What could it be? power supply? gpu? hdd?
I checked the CPU and changed the paste, i checked the HDD, i checked the RAM, the GPU, i have not idea what could it be...

Thanks.

CPU: FX6300
GPU: SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz Edition OC 1GB GDDR5
RAM: kingston 8gb 1333mhz (i'm not sure about the mhz)
MB: ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX
PSU: it's a 500w (that's what they say...) that came with the case (B-MOVE), i was on a low bugdet

remove any overclocks you have on anything (CPU, GPU and RAM) and try again, if not, roll back drivers to the last stable version or install from the CD in the GPU box

I don't have any overclock, and i have the driver since it came out (Omega) and everything worked perfect, this started about 1-2 weeks ago

Full system specifications (with manufacturer and model #s) would be helpful.

Try the new 15.xx drivers, 14.12 were pretty broken on my AMD Build

I would first look at this one,replace it with a more decent psu.

How old is the power supply? Sapphire states that a 450 watt power supply is required (for the entire system) to use that card. I would not be surprised if your power supply can no longer provide that stable amount of power; which would account for your system restarts.

i built this PC about 1 and a half years ago, it worked great until now, i wasn't happy about the PSU since i bought it...i wanted to get a bronze one atleast but i couldn't.
i will get another one very soon so i won't end up destroying the whole PC with the random restarts

It only does this when gaming? Maybe leave gaming alone untill you've got that better psu.Otherwise take the HD7770 out and work on the integrated gpu until then.

yes but to be honest i think it also happened once when not gaming, not sure if i remember right tho IF it happened once when not gaming
ingame happens randomly, it's not because alot of things happen at once or anything intense, i guess it reaches a limit and decides to give up...that PSU is suspicious

Like i said,you can do things on the integrated gpu like browsing and such.

ok, in the end, i will get another PSU and be careful

thanks everyone for your time

You're welcome.😀

Just a quick note, the motherboard in question does not have an integrated GPU solution.

Under specs,

Integrated AMD Radeon 3000 graphics

and there's a vga port at the back i/o.

 

[Wolfshadw]

That looked like a serial port. Oh well.
