Hello there. My GPU shuts off during gaming usually after 20-60 minutes. When I open the case everything is still running except for the graphics card. I have all of the latest drivers. The temperature reaches 48C at highest.
The game is Darkfall Unholy Wars. System Req's=
Windows XP Service Pack 3, 32bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 + or
AMD Phenom II X2 +
4GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600 + or
AMD or ATI 4850 +
DirectX Sound Card
12GB Free Space
My system specs are as follows:
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
Athlon II x2 260 3.2ghz
16gb RAM
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 2g OC edition
120 GB SSD
Power supply:
Raidmax RX-580F
I suspect the power supply may be inadequate. The specs of the card on the gigabyte website say it requires a 500w power supply. This power supply says 580w, though it is a little old.
Would it make sense that the card would demand more power than the PSU can handle, therefor the psu simply stops supplying power to one single component (the GPU)?
Also if i 'stress' the pc and continue to restart it and go right back into gaming, it will crash on a more regular basis until the PC simply will not turn back on again. Then I have to unplug the power supply and wait for a few minutes before it will respond.
Is all of this consistent with an inadequate power supply? I just don't want to go out and buy another component to try and solve this problem when I'm not very sure what's causing it.
Thank you!
