My comp keeps restarting on high graphics settings. Which im told it should run fine. Been surfing the net and with common threads all mentioned about PSU being spoiled or overheat fast. My pc wasnt hot at all, sitting around 50-55 degrees. Any suggestions guys?

If your temps aren't the...


Hmmm, what do you reccomend I do now then?

 


Should i get a new PSU, can you recommend some? I've checked my graphics with 3dmark, weirdly enough it didn't crashed. As the benchmark peformance are pretty much of high graphics. Temperature is always slightly above 40~. Sorry but i do not know how to run memtest...

 


Hey Suztera, i've ran memtest and there are no errors. 🙁 Any ideas?
 


Ohmy do you mean reformatting?
 


Reformatting and reinstalling windows is one option to make sure it isn't windows/ software.
What motherboard do you have?
 


Aren't they the same? Erm.. It's ASROCK B85 KILLER ( LGA 1150 ) MAINBOARD
 




If your temps aren't the problem, then I would have to say that the PSU is most likely to blame. You haven't mentioned what PSU you have but all the same if you are willing to spend around $115 I would like to recommend the EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR

If you are on a budget then I would like to say get the SeaSonic G 550W

If your budget is tighter than that then you could settle for this, still pretty good power supply: the EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Non Modular PSU

You know you just shown you haven't read this thread properly.
He has a coolermaster G750M.
 


I did mentioned what psu I have, it's in one of those replies. It's a COOLERMASTER G750M SEMI-MOD 80+ BRONZE PSU.
 


Less than a year.. About uhm 9 months. Oh, when I first bought it there was a problem with my power supply. But they replaced it with a new one already..
 
I hate to say it, but I fear you may be having more problems. Random shut downs without a blue screen to go along with it is almost always heat (which it isn't in your case) or bad PSU. I would try to borrow a good PSU from someone and test it to be sure, but all signs seem to point towards the PSU. If it is in fact the PSU I would say to replace it with a non cooler master model, RMA the cooler master PSU and then sell it.
 


This is so sad.. I guess i will try reformatting then if it still doesn't work. Probably get a new PSU. 🙁 Hard to borrow a PSU.

Thanks for replying guys, will update to see if it works tomorrow.
 
OK bud, I hope that the clean install of windows solves the problem for you; though I feel that if it were a software, processor, memory, hard drive problem you would certainly be getting a blue screen with your shut downs. I really strongly recommend the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750/850 XR. Fully Modular, 80+ Gold, Quiet and best of all 10 year warranty. 10 years....
 


Not really needed when a cheaper psu can be bought such as XFX TS 550W which has 5 years. B2 series are 80+ bronze. B2 does not get 10 years, it only gets 5 years.
 


I mistyped, I meant to put in G2, not the B2. He already has a 750w PSU, I wouldn't try to talk him into buying something lower wattage than what he had. I only recommended the two other option because I had not yet seen what his PSU was.

aaaaand...10 year warranty

There nothing wrong going with a 550W since his build won't reach that. So going from a 750W to a 550W makes no difference as the pc will draw as much power it needs. A GTX 760 don't draw that much, about 160W average.
