New graphics card issue

Fergin · 25 Nov 2012 at 20:47

Hi

Just purchased a sapphire 7950, installed o.k and been running fine for last few ads. Playing today pc suddenly rebooted. Restarted and rebooted from desktop. Left pc off for a while then would game fine for a few hours then rebooted again. Checked temps of card max 50 CPU max 35. I have put in a new case so checked all connectors. I suspect temp is an issuer but nothing seems to be getting warm. My psu is a 750 corsair is this enough to run a 7950, also does a psu have thermal cut out, I've cleaned it all out of dust but not a lot in there. Could a graphics card restart a pc if faulty

Any help appreciated

Cheers

What is the rest of your system spec?

Are you overclocked and what are the cpu temps at full load?

CPU only reaches about 35 37 degrees when gaming , it's an i7 2600k nothing overclocked

The usual. Running stress tests (Unigine for GPU, OCCT for CPU), burn a memtest86+ iso and test ram.

Thanks

Test memory seems ok. I'll stress test gpu and CPU and see how it goes

Stress testing seems o.k

Ran Heavan on GPU VRM 1 reached max 65 C at stock with VRM 2 at 50 C No crash
Ran OCCT on CPU on stock max 45 C No crash

Very Strange seems as stable as anything, I Guess time will tell
