PSU problem?

[numbers]

Hi guys

when i am using my gtx 760 jetstream to play game, my pc will auto reboot

i sent the card for servicing but there was no problem detected. so i suspect is psu but how to diagnose and confirm the problem?

i dont want to buy new psu then end up is other hardware fault....

Check your cpu and gpu temperature when gaming ?

i use CPUID HWMonitor but nothing is near overheating. I dont do OC and I play games at mid to low settings....

Can you check event viewer to see what the cause for the reboot?

For psu , you can try the paper clip test. Google psu paperclip test .

Bring your rig to Nigel for troubleshooting.

Any contact for this guy? I may look for him in the future for troubleshooting purposes. Bringing my PC to Sim Lim Square is quite tedious and tiring nowadays.

@ numbers: Last time, I experienced the same issue with an old PC. I suspect the CPU is overheating as the heat sink may collect too much dust. Another suspect may be something shorted on the motherboard due to dust. (I did not perform preventive maintenance to my PC last time)

I experienced both causes before. Due to the motherboard issue, I upgraded to my current rig.

i dont think is my pc overheating issue because when i just turn on my pc and start game, will straight away auto reboot liao.

then i change to super old GFX card that does not require the extra pci-e power cables, everything run smoothly.

sent gfx for service and rma liao so must be something else

Are the connectors of the graphics card dirty? Maybe you can use an eraser to rub against the gold filaments.

Did you update to the latest GPU driver?

Swap the pci slot? The psu power to GFX got problem is a little hard to check if the PSU is those non-modular type.
