Reboot During Stress Test

[Exhaustive]

I had a reboot during a stability/stress test.
Specs:
CPU : FX-6300 @ 4.0 Ghz
MB : Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
GPU : GTX 960 Asus Strix
PSU : Cooler Master Elite V2 550w
RAM : Adata DDR3 1600 mhz
Storage : 3 500gb HDD and 1 120 GB Kingston SSD
2 120mm LED Case fans running off case SPDIF in the front ( pulling air in)
2 cougar pwm 120mm in top (exhausting)
Cooling : Antec 650 H2O Kuhler (exhausting)
Case is the iBuyPower Arc series

Not sure how much Wattage my system is using but i feel like its a weak psu for everything i have in it, causing the reboot. Because my thermal margin was fine about 37.8 C and all temps monitored were fine.

Any idea why it would shut off during a stress test? I used AMD Overdrive stability test when it restarted. When i had my 6300 at 4.1 ghz i used Prime 95 for a bout 30 minutes no problem, i felt like it was a bit hot so I reduced the OC to 4.0 and stress tested again and it shut off. Maybe overdrive is the problem? Lol

Also rate my system 1-10

Does it ever shut off or restart while running a game on heavy load or no?

No, not really. Dying Light is really intense puts my CPU up pretty high on the usage, and even the GPU but it doesn't reboot.

Anyone?

Overclocking it could be the problem. I would return it all back to stock settings, and then re-run the stress test. It could be getting hot if you have it clocked too high then restarting on it's own because of high temps. It COULD be you PSU. I don't think your PSU is all that great, and under a heavy load it might not be providing proper power to all the components. But I would focus on returning your CPU to stock settings and re-running a stress test first, and see how it acts.

Yeah thats probably not the problem. I reworked the overclock to 4.0 ghz then boosted the BUS to 207. ended at 4140 mhz purely stable and no more reboots.

Good job at figuring out your own problem! lol
