PC shuts off randomly.?

[xxDonmaxx]

Just curious abt one thing thou, did u only remove ur gpu when u did cleaning? If you did I dont see how cpu/ram can be the issue for your problem aside from psu degradation

Yes i only remove the GPU to clean. The rest remain untouched. Could you explain why?
This rig is about 1 years old i think!

 

[xxDonmaxx]

Well its the only variable that had changed before you had your problem. Psu degradation after 1 yr use is unlikely but not impossible under heavy persistent load. My take is that dust got into pci slot or when youre cleaning it, u broke it unknowingly (unlikely). But if u still cant solve it then then u have to follow zystttt's advice

3 years + , ur psu should be up lorry already

really ah? warranty 5 years wor.

 

[Goodshot]

really ah? warranty 5 years wor.

Depends the qty lo , I bought a quite exp one $150 also last abt 4 years die . can rma but sianz wait just buy a new one

i have a fren in a similar situation. whenever he play games (CS:GO, DOTA2), the PC auto restart.
he was using FSP 650w.
i told him to change to 750w PSU, is working fine for couple of months liao...

was the PSU under rated~?

 

[Lordzephyr9]

thats true... zzzzz would they loan a psu?

 

[ChaosLegionnaire]

this issue of sudden self/auto reboots during load is often caused by the psu going up lorry or insufficient wattage. psu can also fail prematurely like gpu and hard disk. just rma if under warranty.

I got similar issue as ts. Just that open com , some times at the window loading screen, my monitor got no signal.. Then I press the keyboard, all the cap lock light like jam, cannot toggle light on/off.. Dunno whether is it mobo/cpu spoilt

How to test ourself whether psu spoilt?

Later u bring the psu to rma, then they test Liao, working fine... Wasted trip.

I got no spare psu.

Yes I had the same problem before too.

 

[Lordzephyr9]

anyone been to tech dynamic for RMA? how is the procedure like? how long do it takes?

Just an update from Yesterday . So apparently MSI afterburner was giving me a somewhat off reading..
I ran coretemp software and tested prime95. My core temps straight hit 100C at full load.Idle was about 37C. so im guessing this is bad. Monitor core temps during games was about 60C. I think the thermal paste like no more already. Gonna get some today and apply. And run the test again.

 

[xxDonmaxx]

Did com reboot during the tests?

[Edit] Eh 60C with what games? If dota then its a problem if not its a non-issue

Nope. No reboot. I run for about 5 mins . Than i stop it. Cause 100C i scared later burn out or something. Gonna apply thermal paste first before running test again

Around 58C for CSGO.. 60++ for GTA V.
Ytd played 3 competitive CS GO . no reboot at all. Miracle.

 

[xxDonmaxx]

Well those are cpu stress tests... im not surprised at those temps if u didnt have aftermarket cpu cooler

[Edit] looks like u alr solved ur problem alr (finger cross)

 

[IlovePCW-ing]

100c is

Hopefully is because of thermal paste.. IF NOT HAVE TO CHECK PSU ALREADY. ):

 

[Sprocket94]

100c is

i got shocked.. i see 100C in like seconds..

 

[ahray83]

was the PSU under rated~?

not really understand what does under rated means. =D
wat i do know is PSU is brand new. 80+ Gold

he brought back to shop to check. he was able to re-enact the situation at shop too. shop assistant is baffled.
Among the things he changed at shop is CPU, MOBO, GPU(ATI too), PSU. issue still persist.

by the time he got to me was 3 months later...cry father cry mother liao..

50+ degree

your cpu temp seems high, does the cpu fan is working or having a lot of dust~?
