i7 930 ( dont think its an overheating problem
800w corsair gs - ( thinking this is problem possibly not getting enough power... )
i know its not the ram

changed the power cable and is working but the question is for how long

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 18:42

forget that i turned off the computer and took out powercable, put in hard drive and now it is switching off when i start into a game.

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:12

nah i defo know its not the ram...

running it on regular setting = fine
running it on higher settings = computer restarts.

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:25

right ran it a second time...the program heaven ran for atleast 5mins
temps for the cpu 59 - 60 degrees
temps for the gpu 57-60 degreees both i never seen go OVER 60 degrees but maybe it did and thats why its cutting off like it does to protect against overheating?

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:41

its not just csgo its other games too csgo is just a example..

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:42

but why would it be restarting like that then :/

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:44

is it possible to be my hdd (m4 128gb ssd)O.o sometimes the computer doesn't boot and shows a red light on front of the case pretty sure its not my hdd. tried replacing the cmos

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:49

99% health on that program

that takes the ssd out of the equation...

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 21:11

from this research it reinforces that it could be the psu - and no i dont have psu tester unfortunitely.

is it possibly that it could be the software?

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 21:43

well there's no real way of me checking if its providing juice or not because i haven't got the tester :/

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 22:18

alright well i wil ltry more things tomorrow, its not the sata cable i tried.
