Hi
Just got a new rig fresh Install win 8 started playing battlefield 4 after some time I get a red screen I had to restarted used GPU-Z to check temp on load norm temps used core temp CPU temp fine on load after reading through forums it seems that it could be my psu or ram ?
New build spec if it helps

msiz87-GD65 gaming
Intel i5 4670k
Corsair 16GB Vengeance
AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 6950
Corsair Hydro Series H90
Corsair hx850w
Corsiar 120SSD force series LS
WD 2TB Harddrive
 
Solution
The power supply is definitely capable of powering this rig, but it may be faulting when a large load is applied. Run a power supply tester on it if you have one (or get a friend to, otherwise take it to any local computer repair shop). Also download and run MemTest86+ on the system for at least a few hours (although the longer you can leave it running, the more certain you can be about the ram not being faulty).

Could you post those temp readings you took as well? I'm curious to see what they look like.

HI guys thanks but what I found is that window 8.1 dose not work with AMD cards even after I got the r9 290x I think it has to do with windows only being out for 2 weeks you kind of have to expect that from windows I reinstalled Window 7 not problem so far
