Hello,
I've had an issue for a while with my PC shutting down after x amount of time while I play games. For a while I thought the issue was temperature issues, but I am not leaning more towards a faulty PSU, but I am still not sure.
PC specs:
Core i7 920
Nvidia GTX 275
P6T motherboard
6GB DDR3
Xion 700 Watt PSU (I read online it's a horrible PSU)
With no AC turned on my house my Temperatures have been:
Idle: GPU: ~49-54c CPU ~44c
Load while playing: GPU ~75-85c CPU: 50-52c
With AC turned on and myhouse ~59 degrees
Idle: GPU: ~43c CPU ~34c
Load: GPU ~69-75 CPU 45-49c
===========
I ran Furmark for 10minutes before my PC booted and the GPU temp was ~104c-105c (It never gets this hot during gameplay, but I was stress testing it)
I ran Prime 95 for 20minutes the CPU Temp rose to 92c so i got scared of damaging it and turned it off. (PC did no reboot during prime 95)
==========
I played tonight a game for 3hours and my max temperatures was :
GPU 70-75c and GPU 50-52c
During these 3 hours my pc rebooted 3 times
I really want to figure out what component is making my PC crash, I am buying a blank dvd to get memtest and test out my ram, also going to run avg tonight to check for a virus, but I doubt its a virus because it only reboots while I play games.
