    As is this forum :]

    Will do! Thanks for the help man, really appreciate it! Never realised the CXM series of PSU were bad! Thanks!!!

    I stress both at the same time but it never shuts down then...just weird that it shuts down under gaming load, very specific gaming load too....
  4. Caine Knights
    There is not BSOD just shutdown, no lights, fans, everything off
  5. Caine Knights
    Alright then! Thanks, do you know why it's happening under gaming load not full stress test load?

    Corsair CXM 750W PSU should be fine with my R9 390! Has worked for ages?
  7. Caine Knights

    Nothing new or changed to the PC, no spare PSU

    So I was playing Just Cause 3 at 60 fps on max settings running just fine on my R9 390 and all of a sudden "BAM" not really a bam but yeah, my PC just shutdown, no crash, no error messages just shutdown and as I start to go under my desk and turn my PC back on it boots up (this has never happened in any other game to me)....this seemed weird to me and I thought maybe it was PSU problem no supplying enough power to my GPU/CPU so I stressed both my CPU and GPU with FurMark and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. I stressed the system for 30 mins (longer than I was playing Just Cause 3 for, I was playing for roughly 10 mins) temps were all fine, my 4690k didn't go above 65C and my GPU was well below throttling level with a temp of 73C under full load (remember its AMD so its a toaster) anyhow....I kept stressing the system and no crash, shutdown or anything. Weird. I then recently bought FarCry 4. As I booted the game up it started fine, I got through the non-skippable starting cutscene (or should I call it a movie, it was like 10 minutes long) so the cutscene ended, my character stood up and I moved my mouse BAM, shutdown! It seemed as if the moment the game put load on my GPU it just shutdown...again my PC restarted by itself, Windows 10 acted as if nothing had happened and carried on as normal, I rebooted the game to change the settings to low w/ VSync on and again it crashed in the same place, I don't know what is causing this. My drivers are all as up to date as possible and I have no OC on both my GPU and CPU. All temps are fine just shutdown and automatic reboot with no explanation! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am fine with troubleshooting PC's as I have done it many times before just never encountered this problem! Any advice on where to start troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated! Excuse the long read!

    Does anyone reckon we will ever get an LTT Forum App? That'd be so awesome, like push notifications to the device it is on...how hard would be to make something like this? I think it'd be really cool?
  11. Caine Knights
    sounds awesome, I will have a look, cheers
  12. Caine Knights
    Awesome! Thank you

    So at 1080p many people have said that above 25" the pixel density is too low so pixels can start to be seen. Is this true?

    So I am currently using a 1360x768 TV as my primary monitor for my PC would it be worth upgrading to a 1080p 'proper' monitor? Is the difference noticeable? I have a more than powerful enough PC to run 1080p seeing as I have a R9 390 but I just wanna know should I spend some money on a 1080p monitor?
