Afternoon guys. I have just upgraded my computer and currently have 3 games installed. Battlefield 4, Sim City and Black Ops 2.

Currently when I play black ops 2 I can get half way through a game and the computer shuts off. No sign of slow down or anything just cuts off completely. I am unable to turn the computer back on for 5 Minutes minimum. Although the motherboard light is still on green. This does't happen with the other 2 games.

Current specs are

600W Power supply
FX 8320 8 Core CPU
Asus M5A97 Motherboard
650 TI Graphics Card
1 x 8Gb Corsair XM3 Ram
1 x 500gb Seagate HDD

Windows 7 x64 Fully updated

If it was CPU i would assume the computer would slow first then turn off. never ever had a problem with a graphics card and it is more than enough to play the 3 games. Only other option i think is the 600W Power supply but then the motherboard has the green light on even after it has cut off. i seem to be stumped so would like some help if possible?

Also event Viewer shows nothing wrong

Thanks

Would it be a general in the case heat issue or specifically CPU or graphics card etc. I have a large case Aqua Jeantech Only have 3 fans at moment 1 large intake at front, stock cooler and one out at the rear
 
Hmmm ive had a cpu overheat a while back old Athlon 64 lol but it generally ran slow then shut down, Temps using CPUID is 16 - 25 on idle i did see it go up to 47 when playing battlefield 4 bios shows the same 16 - 25 on idle. heat sink is seated correctly no movement although it did come with the grease already on the sink first time ive seen that usually i use Arctic silver in a tube unfortunately they didnt have any in stock.

... sure. Your temps at home are 14-15 deg ? :) If not, you simply can't have 16 deg on CPU. AMD's temps readings are often a fake.

It's probably your PSU. What it exact brand and model ? I suspect it's some kind of black-listed (unbranded) PSU with "paper" only wattage.

Aah. I see PSU now. Change it and cuts-off are probably gone

Ok no probs ill nip into town the morn and pick one up. Any suggestions? Looking at the £30 - £50 range could maybe stretch to 60.

Atomic cheers for the link
 
Cheers for the link Micky. Im not err clued up with volts/amps/watts etc but going down 50 watts make any difference to what im running? Im interested too Koolpc as i used the same psu in my previous pc and it played black ops 2 just fine, its even more weird that BF4 plays fine which i find a lot more graphics intensive than black ops will keep the thread posted
 
Ran Prime95 for 5 mins didnt cut out

Well managed to get a brand new PSu from a mate unopened for 20 quid so not too bad Powercool Extreme Mod 750. no idea about the make or model but mate said although it says 750 i wont actually get that, also says 80 plus on the box so thats a plus.

I have tried Blackops 2 and it plays just fine, albeit on the odd occasion the game runs slow for a second or 2 ever since changing to this supply. Cheers for the help guys
 
Cheers for the replies guys. Works out good in 2 ways

1: It was the PSU all along (Since BLOBS2 works now with this one in must have been the PSU)
2: I currently have another case with the psu sitting at the bottom. I had planned to put the linux server in their but the PSU 24 Pin never reached where it needed to go neither did the 8 Pin CPU. i can now put this one in it and order myself the above :)

Cheers guys
