vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 18:18

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

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.

Checked event logs in windows for anything untoward?

All the internal power cables seated correctly? Especially the GPU.

Thats a lot of crashes. Kernel power just means the PC lost power randomly its not the issue here. You getting any BSOD errors?

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 19:43

No BSOD crashes just turns off then turns on...

Sounds like over heating or faulty PSU. Can you test for temps for GPU you can download GPUz and run heaven 3.0 not in full screen so you can keep eye on the temp.

For CPU you can download Realtemp and also Prime95 and monitor the temps.

This could also be RAM so I would download Memtest86 and run that but if it was RAM you would have defo seen a BSOD.

Can you also download blue screen view and see if it list any drivers in RED this will indicate if you did have a BSOD.

nah i defo know its not the ram...

vaulsey · 9 Feb 2013 at 20:16

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?

Thats very good cooling over heating isn't the issue here. Can you recheck the game on steam if you right click on CSGO they is an option to force recheck the download to see if anything is corrupt.

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 :/
