How would I do that? Thats why I want to exchange it in step two

Hi all,

in the last two weeks I have been getting more and more often random shutdowns, sometimes reboots on my desktop pc.

When that happens, Windows behaves just like if I press Shutdown in the start menu. Sometimes this happens after a few minutes, sometimes after hours, during idle as well as with workload.

Since today the pc doesn't even stay on long enough to take a picture of the event log. I remember seeing Code 41 - Kernel Power and a few more.

Plugged in to the PC is nothing really relevant, the MX Master Dongle, a USB Fingerprint Reader, Audio and Display. Unplugging doesn't help.

My next step will be to boot a Linux live USB and see if that shuts down too, maybe it's a Windows problem.

Second step would be to change out the power supply since it is now around seven years old.

Processor has been overclocked, but I reset the BIOS already. BIOS and Windows are fully updated.

Specs:

Intel Core i7-4770K

Asus Maximus VII Ranger

32GB Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980ti

beQuiet 550W PSU

I hope anyone has some hints for me to fix the problem. Thanks in advance.

Addition: I managed to take a picture of the Event Log, it is in German tho. You can see two random shutdowns.

1080p is perfect for that Samsung.  It's stretched width-wise, not height. 

I mean...1080 on (basically) a 27" screen is not a lot, especially for text, thats why I would prefer the 1440 version which is again around 1000€

Just out of curiosity what is your current FPS in games?

Sorry for the super late answer. I get around 60 (+- a bit) in GTA V (on Linux tho), which is what I am playing mostly. 

BTW does it make a difference that I'm running the GTX980ti in PCIe 3.0 8x?

So far i've found the iiyama gb3461wqsu-b1 which should come out in a few days.

That looks actually really good. Does anyone have it already?

I also looked at the Samsung C49HG90DMU (32:9, 144Hz, 1080) but I think that 1080 pixels are not enough for a monitor that size.

Any other suggestions? Thank you so much!

Yes, thank you so much! but the price....

Thanks for the answer, your monitor looks really goog and has nice features. I am relatively flexible with the price but I would prefer to not spend 1000€ on the monitor. (Lets say 600-700 max)

Also I will leave the GPU for now and wait another two or three years before I build a whole new computer. Still have an i7-4770K and in combination with the graphics card it is still enough for me at the moment.

Pretty much the low profile case and the flat keycaps. I don't care about RGB

Hey,

I'm looking for a new Monitor to replace my old garbage 2x24" 1080p ones, I have been looking at the Samsung ones and I quite liked them. Maybe someone has some suggestions. What should it feature?

-21:9 Ultrawide

-1440p (the ultrawide version of that)

-plain design, nothing gamer-looking

-ideally more than 60 Hz

-ideally G-Sync (or is freesync compatible with a 980ti? Wasn't there something?)

It will be used for occasional gaming and photo editing, but I'm not super picky about the colour accuracy. It just shouldn't be terrible.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey,

I'm looking for a new keyboard in the style of the Cooler Master SK650, but it should be wireless and ideally have a volume knob.

(And a matching wireless mouse would be super awesome). At the moment I am trying to nake my setup look a bit cleaner.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

The stream didn't work at all for me

100/50 connection in germany...

Well, I'm using the Beoplay B4 on my PC with some generic BT 2.0 adapter from a couple years ago, and it works fine. Audio quality is as good as on my smartphone.
