PC shutting down and restarting during gaming (load)

[TomTom Svoboda]

Hello folks,

I?m completely lost when it comes to my new build and its functionality. I build it together a few days ago, and I have one VERY big problem.

Every time I game (after some time) the PC just turns off (as if unplugged from power) and after a few secs it restarts - No BSODS, not anything. Just to be clear - It doesnt happen when i?m not gaming (whatever im doing on desktop, internet etc... its fine) Interesting is the fact that it happens mostly during CSGO - not any demanding games (but it happened to me in GTA once, as well)

I checked temps - they are in the clear (cpu around 70 degrees, gpu the same, mobo around 35, so as hdds) - nothing is overclocked, and Bios is updated to the latest version available. OS is newly installed (like 5 days ago) so that shouldn? be an issue as well.

Do you guys think it might be a sign of a dying PSU? I have it for like one and a half year, and up until now it powered way more power hungry setup (r9 280x and fx 8320 OCed) - and successfuly, might I add.

Specs:
Core i7 6700K,
8GB Kingston Hyperx 2400MHZ RAM,
ZOTAC AMP! Edition GTX 980 4GB,
MSI z170a - g43 PLUS
PSU : Corsair VS650

I actually hope it is PSU, and not motherboard / cpu / gpu.

If it is a psu, would you recommend this one? Im tight on budget http://www.czc.cz/evga-supernova-750-b2-750w_2/185502/produkt

Thanks for all help, i REALLY do apreciate it!
Have a great day

I have somewhat of the same problem. I'm thinking that the power required to push my 980 TI and your 980 might not be sufficient enough at least the amps/channel. My PSU has 12x4 lanes each rated at 34 amps. Yours it looks like is 50 amps but combine that with your CPU and other components...it might not be enough. I know this isn't an answer but I just figured I would shed some light on this situation for the both of us. I'm waiting for any responses and I will keep you updated if anything gets answered for me.

If your temps are ok it's a good bet the PSU is the problem. Corsair VS series are not very good quality and are especially unsuitable for a high powered gaming system. The EVGA 750 B2, made by Super Flower, is great quality and will do the job for you easily.

Hope you get your issue solved, looks pretty similar mate. I think we both might be in for a PSU RMA. My PSU Amps / wattage should be way enough for my system, though i think the capacipators are already on their way to merry component heaven...

Thanks for your input, i appreciate it.. have a great day and if anything, ill let ya know. Going for the PSU Today

Thanks very much for answer - i thought it might be the culprit, just needed some insight of someone more knowledgeble than me in this regard. I will let you know later today if it worked - going for the PSU

Have a great day!

There's no guarantee the PSU is the problem. Just a high chance. That being said, you really need a better unit anyways and you'll be better off in the long run.

No problem. Check my linked thread as I show an update to my situation. I am testing with a EVGA 850 B2 and so far it runs everything fine, even with POE which caused it to reboot within 2 minutes. I don't understand how these "testing" programs couldn't get it to reboot but a light game can?

I changed it to Evga 750 B2 and so far it seems the problem was solved as well. So if you are okay with it too, i think - GOOD RIDDANCE! Have fun with your build!
