Computer keeps randomly restarting

chriso132 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:28

Hey. Really need some help here. Just moved my computer to my new flat. My been on it for a few months but now when I've got it running it started to restart when windows boots and sometimes when I do manage to get it running it shuts down exactly when a YouTube video begins to start. I have no idea what is causing this. Could someone help ?

Thanks

What's your full build?

chriso132 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:37

Windows 7
I7
2 x gtx 480s
Rampage III extreme
6 gigs ddr3

I don't even think I can do a factory reset as I don't have the windows disk :/

Sorry, you'd need to be more specific than that. What PSU are you using? list the whole build mate

.

chriso132 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:40

1200 watt psu. 128 gig ssd as boot and a 1tb hdd.

It's up and running but I'm scared to do anything.

How long have you been using the PSU for?

chriso132 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:44

About a year and a half

chriso132 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:46

I've uninstalled flash and reinstalled it. Seems to be running YouTube okay now.

LukieBoy007 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:47

Good

chriso132 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:53

It's because I disabled sli. So it must be either one of the cards or the power supply

LukieBoy007 · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:58

I was suspecting power supply. Try each card separately one at a time though.

Swapped the slot the cable is running into the graphics card, seems to be okay now. I now need to reload the overclock profile. Do you have any clue how to do this. I have started the profile but I'm now on the profile utility screen. No idea what to do to load it

chriso132 · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:05

Done it. Thanks for your help. Was so worried. Spent all my money on this flat, a faulty graphics card would be the worst thing to happen !

Good thing you got it working again
