Sup guys.

Here's my system specs: New com about 1 week old.


Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
Gigabyte B75M-HD3 Motherboard
Intel i3-3220
Corsair Vengeance 4GBx2 1600mHz
Palit GTX650TI 2GB
500w FSP Hexa PSU
1 TB WD Black HDD
320 TB WD HDD
Sharkoon MS120 Casing
No additional coolers.

Got this from PC Themes @ SLS. Great service.

My system randomly shuts down and power on again during light gaming (TF2, Dota2). System just turns off completely for split second and powers on again. No BSOD no nothing. Just black. It's not Windows Update because I've checked three times it didn't try to update. It's not the Power Saving mode as well, on high performance mode.


Suspected that it was a heat problem, but during gaming all cpu and gpu temps are at about 50+/- degrees C only. Shouldn't be a heat issue right?

Initially within 10min of gaming the system will reboot.
Sometimes the system can go on for half an hour before the reboot triggers again.

I've double checked the power supply with 2 different guys at PC Themes they said it's okay. I used online calculator and calculated about 296-323 Watts power consumption with my rig only. 500W should be more than enough?

Using FurMark benchmark test the GPU was put on 99% load, max temperatures were 76 deg, fan load 50%, fps at a steady 24-27.
-This ran for 36 minutes last night without crashing, then it crashed later on.
-This morning it ran for 15 minutes without crashing. And then another 30 minutes of gaming before the system reboot happened again.

Please help me out!
Thanks!

Have you tried using the onboard graphics card (You need to plug out your Nvidia card to allow booting of your onboard graphic card)?

Nope. Onboard graphics disabled in BIOS. So I haven't booting up with it yet.

edit: Temperatures at 50-60 degs during gaming.
Turned up the fan to about 80%. Still crashed.

No spare videocard.
Anyway I tried the internal graphics Intel HD 2500.

Works okay, doesn't crash.
CPU temperatures still the same, 50 deg +/-

Anyway i've exchanged my card 1 to 1 with PC Themes just now.
Very cooperative. Gonna stress test the card again
