So angry!

Ok I sent my PSU back to OCUK because it stopped working and I got another one the day after they received mine which I am still impressed with.

But now when I am playing BF3 the PC randomly restarts.

Exactly what will happen is the screen goes black for a second then it just restarts.

I thought it might be graphics driver related so I am in the middle of downloading the new beta/preview ones.

But I am sure that this kind of thing is usually PSU related?

What can I do to test the PSU and see if it is causing the problem? I just sold my old PSU so can't even try that out.

As stupid as it sounds, I didnt even think of the OC . . . I am ashamed

It has happened in HoN aswell so its not just BF3.

I will mess around with it somemore and post again if it happens, cheers guys.

One more question, if it is the clock, would it just be more volts it needs? I am running on the preset ones that the Extreme4 Gen3 gives me.

Sorry I set it back to normal to play around and see if it still happens, but it was set to auto, so I presumed it would be fine?

Well after a few hours of BF3 and HoN the problem hasn't happened again so I am now a lot happier

Thanks again for the help.

Looks like I will just have to look into manually clocking it later
