Computer restart when turning on games.

[icystars92]

Hello bros need some help here.

Computer has just switch off and restarts whenever i switch on a game.
Tested GPU,CPU,RAM and no issues was found.

Tried relocating GPU to another slot on motherboard and computer stills restarts the moment i run a game.

Could it be a PSU impending failure?

I'm not that much of an expert on the hardware side of things but it sounds to me that if all systems appear normal, it could be an insufficient supply of power to the PC. How about underclocking all your hardware components so they'll not absorb an excessive amount of power and try to see if that works.

More likely is GPU issue.

 

[icystars92]

Had went to service center and they find no issues with GPU

best way is to test with another power supply

 

[Entry Level PC]

You using simi gpu?

 

[DarkBlue]

Run on-board VGA i5-4690, laggy but see if the problem shows... then report back.

Do not have a extra PSU to test with

R9 290 powercolor

Only game i can run is paper please with on board VGA. Didn't hard restart

Additional info from event viewer: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

powercolor ah?

fyi, i went to service center 4th time before they finally swapped me a new card. i would not be surpise if its the card that is faulty

they tested no porbs but when i bring back home use, same issue ,...


try with on board. first. the whole point is not if can play or not its if it does restart when even on ON board.

Sorry let me rephrase the game was running fine. Just tried running starcraft with no issues with on board VGA. I already replaced my GPU once with them

Surprisingly over there can run GPU stress test but i use FurMark on my desktop it just hard restarts the moment i start the test -.-"

FurMark runs fine with On Board too

run 1 game or any other games then restart?

 

[icystars92]

Opening of every single games will cause system to hard restart on gpu.
No restart happened when using on board.

possible driver issue too...

What is your PSU?

As someone posted, highly possible is that not enough power is supplied to run the system.. since AMD cards eat a lot of power.

 

[FinalTidus]

PSU problem. Mostly probable.

 

[icystars92]

possible driver issue too...

Doubt so... the driver that i am using has not have given me any issues for a few months already.

What is your PSU?
Stated in my hardware specs. superflower 600 watts

My PSU is 600 watts. Has been running without an issue for 1 year.

Could it be that my PSU is currently now being able to supply enough power thus faulty PSU?? Just want to get it confirmed as I find it damn troublesome to plug out every single cable -.-"

 

[icystars92]

PSU problem. Mostly probable.

I suspect its PSU issue too but do not have a spare PSU at home that can power my system to confirm that its PSU issue.

 

[Myu~sun]

I would say most likely PSU ba experience it before when running games sudden shut down or play half way shut down. Tested ram hdd gpu OK so I left it there . After sometime problem got worst. sometimes have to try a few times then can power on. Then I confirm PSU. So sent rma back all OK already =)

Possibly a faulty PSU, or your PSU degraded too quickly and is supplying less power than it should be.

Better identify it quick, cause if suddenly got short circuit and your other parts got fried... even more troublesome

Okay thanks! I think its PSU too. plugged out my GPU just in case.

Nice. Do you have to bring all the cables or just the main PSU will do?
