Hello everyone!
For the past few years i've had a problem occur when i was gaming, at points my PC started either rebooting or shutting down.
I've stopped gaming, and my PC was usable for simple office tasks, or maybe when watching a movie.
But i think it's time i fix this hardware problem.
The thing is, i'm not sure what's causing it, as it never pops a BSOD, plus i don't have extra parts laying around for tests.
I tried stress testing with AIDA64..
Simple stress tests such as CPU, GPU or Memory only, won't cause any problems.
Mixing tests CPU+FPU+Cache+Memory run for 10 mins then i stopped it.
When i mix in GPU it either reboots or shuts down instantly...
It even shut down when i run a GPU + Cache only Test
PC Specs are:
PSU: Corsair CX750
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
RAM: Dual Channel Corsair Vengeance LP 4GB/module
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX660 DCII
Any help in troubleshooting this problem will be greatly appreciated!
