Computer restarts when playing intensive games.

Hey guys,



I bought an EVGA 780 from Amazon a few months back to add to my build. My build is around 2 years old, no problems at all since around 2 weeks ago.

I play Counter strike quite a lot and recently out of nowhere, my computer just shutdowns like somebody pulled the power, and reboots itself. It only happens during gaming.

The more frequent the occurrence depends on how frequent I play CS:GO. I can play for 4 hours, then it'll shutdown. If I instantly rejoin the game I left, within 5 minutes, it shuts down again.

To me, that sounds thermal but my temperatures are perfect, the circulation of air in my case feels normal, no excessive heat.



This is my current build. Power supply is the Corsair TX750M.







These are the steps I've taken so far, it's so confusing.



• Cleaning my whole computer, PSU, Heat-sinks, all fans.

• Checked temperatures, all very safe, nothing exceeds 65c under stress testing.

• Rolled back to an older stable graphics driver.

• Ran memory tests, all reported no errors.

• Ran Prime95 and FurMark together which resulted in no reboot which is strange, if I had a bad PSU, I was certain this would trigger a shutdown.

• Changed power cables.

• Took the ACX cooler of the 780 and replaced the thermal paste with arctic silver. Improved temperatures though!



Can anybody please share some wisdom and recommend anything? I'm running out of ideas. I'm thinking the PSU is the culprit.



Thanks. :(



Best regards,

SubJectioN.
