PC shuts down while performing furmark stability test

[matt20020]

hi just baught a second hand amd sapphire 270x tested it on all the games seems to work fine!

Tried the furmark gpu stress test and it shuts down after 10 minutes and the pc restarts

got the following system

CPU - I5 3470 with coolmaster evo heatsink

Ram - 8GB crusial balastic sport 1600MHZ

Also have a 120mm fan on the rear

Power supply - Corsair builder series 500W bronze

Cheers Matt

3 possible things, from most likely to least -

Power supply can't handle the maximum load demanded by the card,
GPU/CPU/some component is overheating,
Potential overclock/Drivers/software is crashing the card.

Can you report observed temperatures with your system? Did you overclock it at all?

 

[matt20020]

I havn't but the other person could have who had it before, I know the max temps on the gpu that was at 80 degrees C and once it hit that seemed to stay constant, the line seemed straight on the graph, and while it was running everything seemed to look ok there were no glitches and it ran smooth, should I run it with HW monitor at the same time?

Do it again and after it shuts down review the event viewer log to see why it shut down

I have installed the latest AMD drivers for that card the amd crimson one

Furmark absolutely hammers a Gpu on a graphics card to any game you run.
Because it applies 100% Gpu usage all of the time the test is running.

With games it can vary on how much of the total gpu in percentage is actually being used at any given time.

That is why heat rises so quickly on the gpu when you do a furmark gpu test.

It is likely that the cooler on the card reached it maximum thermal load capacity.
And the Gpu reached a very hot temperature.

To prevent the gpu from physically burning out, or suffering heat damage.
The Ati graphics driver installed for the 270X card terminates all Gpu processing to cool the Gpu as a safety feature.
And what you saw in action when running furmark for ten minuets.

And believe me it`s a good thing it did it`s job.
There is nothing strange or wrong with the card.
The reset was to protect the Gpu from going into melt down.

Nah. 80c is high, but it's to be expected when running something as suicidal as Furmark. Honestly man I wouldn't worry much about it if only FMark is crashing your system. Games won't touch that level of stress, so don't sweat it. If your comp starts crashing while gaming, then you have some issues.

Make sure the next upgrade of your system is your PSU. 500W is quite low, and I wouldn't run anything past the 270x on it.

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Usually means a PSU problem and your PSU is a low quality unit
