You can just go to the bios, and check the power readings. No need to game or get the pc to 80+ degrees, etc.

But you should also rule out high temps like what others suggest.

Should be at the BIOS side.

ok thanks

The PSU hold-up time for the Leadex Plat is below specs. You can read more about it here - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/super-flower-leadex-platinum-550w-power-supply,4281-4.html

Most people do not have a problem with this. Perhaps your friend is one of the lucky ones. :s13: Quite easy to test, just borrow a PSU.

wa... ok i try lend him my and see how... thanks

I believe that your MSI GPU have two 6 pins connector. If you connect the 6 pins cable sharing the load (2 6 pins connector cable). I suggest you use another 6 pin cable to connect to the other GPU 6 pin connector, splitting the load. See if it work.

so just an update, he bought a new psu (superflower leadex 850w gold,750 out of stock at pct) as recommended by his friend, and so far it didn't auto shutdown anymore...

so i have another question which is how to test for a unstable psu? or was the issue really not enough wattage?

well to test of unstable im not sure normal tools can test or not but i still think that u need these few products to consider doing actual real test to test for it.

But did u guys send it for RMA?

sent the psu to tech dynamic at chai chee, told the guy pc auto shutdown when playing games after 20-30 mins, he tested it with a program that looks like 3d mark or something like that i forgot, but ran for 30 mins and no issue came out so no choice we just bring the psu back
