GTX 760 Restarts Computer

I have just recently upgraded my graphics card from a GTX 9600 to a GTX 760. I love this video card very much until 1-10 min in game... When I try to play a game on very high settings, I get about around 50-80 fps on any game. I don't over clock. But when I play these games on really high settings like Crysis 3 and BF4, my computer just doesn't respond and eventually restarts my computer. I'm planning to reinstall windows 7 today due to that fact that my computer runs really slowly by itself.

Would love some help!

Computer Specs: GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 980 Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero VII Power Supply: SeaSonic 760W 80+ Platinum CPU: Intel i7-4790k

 

Other Facts: Phone: Galaxy Note 3 Laptop: 13-inch 2.4 GHz Macbook pro with Retina

Hey @Ronanwar

 

What power supply do you have? It might not be powerful enough to feed the graphics card.

Well when I got my new graphics card, I also got a new supply. It's a 600w supply, 46A on the 12V rail.

hmm, that should be enough power to support it. Do you know what the temperatures of your card were?

When playing games like that, it usually is around 70 cesius and on idle around 40.

Hmm, temps are fine. Could be a driver issue, which is causing the computer to restart. Since you are already planning to reinstall Windows. I would suggest doing that and try it again with fresh drivers and a clean OS. Hopefully then, it will run stable this time (at least that's what I would do in this situation).

 

I hope it fixes the problem  ^_^
