Will try that now, thank you

I did run it. It shows error 41, which is why I am wondering whether or not my psu is the problem. I have now tried to run Wolcen a couple more times, I would change graphics in the menu, then my PC restarts. I exit the game, my PC restarts. I enable the in game FPS indicator, and my PC restarts. I have not tried Xcom again, but I don't understand why it is happening.

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard, Intel i5 4690k (stock speed), 16gb Kingston HyperX Savage 1866mhz (XMP enabled), Crucial MX300 480gb ssd, with a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming graphics card. Running Windows 10 Home 64-bit

I recently bought a couple games on the steam sale. The issue I have happened first with Xcom 2, and just now with Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. I'd for example try to create a character in Wolcen, then my PC just restarts itself. I moved one of my soldiers in Xcom, and the PC did the same. CPU is at 35-40 degrees, GPU at 25/40 (idle and gaming), and I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic to test for bad ram. Windows event viewer shows that the crash is Event 41, so that's sudden loss of power. How can I test my PSU, or might something else be wrong? I have an Antec TruePower 750W PSU

I can't get into my bios at all. I've tried various keyboards but when I boot my pc it does not seem to register that I have a keyboard plugged in until after the OS has loaded. I tried using the Bios Mode setting on my Corsair K70 keyboard but that is not helping either. I need to change the boot order, but can't get in at all. Any tips?

Alright, fantastic. I was definitely going to do a clean install. Thank you very much!

That's what I'm worried about. To my knowledge the DSP version does not come with a DVD, so I can't simply format and then try to install, I need to upgrade from my current version. Stop me if I'm wrong . So I'm thinking, I build the new rig, start as is. My current Windows will launch, then I load the Windows upgrade assistant and enter the code they give me.

Hey guys I bought a new system that I will hopefully receive all the components of next week. Sadly, I derped and bought a DSP Windows and not the retail version. Can anyone tell me how I can perform a clean install on my pc with a DSP version of Windows? Should I build the rig, launch with the unformatted drive and then follow the Windows upgrade steps from there? Thanks in advance

Fair enough. Z97 it is! Thanks guys

Hi guys. I am looking to upgrade my rig within the next few months. If I were to purchase now, I would like to go with the MSI Z97S Krait edition, because the white and black scheme is just, for lack of a better word, REDONKULOUS! And I have an idea for a very nice black/white scheme build. So my question is this: Would it be a waste to purchase the Z97 system now (with an i5 4690; not looking to overclock; purely for gaming), or even within the next two months, or would it be best to wait until X99 and DDR4 take over? "Many thanks, friend of friends!"
