[Help] Problem with my pc

[xtNero]

Whenever I'm playing something like Dota 2, my entire pc will actually crash and reboot itself at random intervals. I have done an 8 hour memtest with 4 passes and currently running Verifier. Is there anything else i should do to find out the root of the problem?

 

[yusoffb01]

Crash during playing can be:
Driver
Faulty GPU
Memory faulty
PSU faulty

First try updating driver. If doesn't work
Run me test to check ram. If ram OK
Replace graphics card with another, or play without graphics card

I have already updated my gpu driver to the latest one and did a ram test for 8 hours yesterday with 4 passes. *Forgot to state that the pc encountered an Kernel Power 41 error everytime it crashes

Either the GTX760 or PSU is dying........

is your cpu heat too high ??

can check your bios what is the max temp set for your CPU ?

go download HWMonitor and monitor your temps...

 

[xtNero]

Temps are in acceptable range. 40-44degrees for idle and 60 degrees when playing Dota 2 (around 30+% cpu usage)

Should i just rma my psu then?

There are two things you can try -

(1) Check the voltages and see if they are too low or fluctuate too much. If so, it is a PSU problem.

(2) Reset everything in BIOS to default and see if the problem persists. Overclocking can cause random restarts.

First, u need to check the game specs. to see if the PC fulfills the gaming requirements.
Second, try to cut down on program running in the background.
Third, troubleshoot by ruling out all the impossibilities...
Worst comes to worst, google online with the error msg. that u saw.

Unless got spare PSU to test, it is best to bring rig to Nigel:

My build is clearly more than sufficient for Dota 2 lol.
