PC Restarting?

[Sonicchick123]

Ok so here is my issue which started about three weeks ago. I first got my pc back in March which worked fine until now. It was winter time back then and my pc was running Crysis 3, COD: Ghosts, Minecraft, AC4 and every other game perfectly fine with no issues at all. Then I realized when it started to get warmer my pc would get hotter and hotter. Back in the winter on my case the max the tempature ever went was 23.0C but now in the summer the max tempature it said so far was 35.3C. The only game I could run on my pc was Minecraft. Then when I tried to run COD: Ghosts 10 minutes into playing my pc reboots ( no BSOD or any error messages ) except the windows shutdown to prevent information loss and if I wanted to run in safe mode or normaly. Then when cleaning my pc to try and fix the problem I accidently pressed a button on the back called clear cmos and I had to reinstall windows, overclock and download drivers all over. Then I decided to take out the ram and put it back in it but only 12gb or ram would show up and not 16gb. So I put the ram sticks in one by one and I reliazed one of the ram slots didn't recognize my ram so kept the ram stick out of that slot and ran the pc and it showed 12gb of ram. 

My pc specs are:
Intel I7 4820K 3.7ghz (Overclocked to 4.2)
16gb of Xpg Adata Ram
1000 Watt Raidmark PSU With 80 Plus Gold
Msi GTX 770 2gb
Asrock X79 Extreme 4 Motherboard
2Tb Western Digital Hard Drive
4 Case Fans
Stock CPU Fan

Also when not playing games my GPU is at 46C and when playing COD: Ghosts my processor highest tempature was 61C and my GPU highest tempature was at 81C.

In the winter I had no problems at all so I don't know what the problem is now.

All help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Its a raidmax PSU.

Nuff' said

[Wferr]

Does it completely loose power or does it more or less crash? 

[Sonicchick123]

I don't know because minecraft works well for how ever long as i want but when i play a ghosts it reboots. It just black screens and says start windowns normally or safe mode and i pick start windowds normally. Also is my psu causing the reboots, do I get a new psu, what psus are good?

something else happened if you had to reinstall windows clearing CMOS has nothing to do with Data stored on your Hard drive

[Sonicchick123]

Also when I was on the phone with company they told me to click the reset button on my motherboard and when I did that I kept getting a BSOD so my final choice to make was reinstall windows just for it to stop getting the BSOD.

When I play cod ghosts for 10 mins my pc restart but when I play watch dogs for 12 hours plus it doesn't reboot my pc. So basically when it reboots my fans ,lights and everything cut off for a second and then come back on, is that a psu issue because I heard that might be my problem. My psu is a raidmark 1000 watt 80 plus golf. The rebooting never happened in  the winter so whats the issue?

Looks like some kind of overheating issue to me. Can you post the complete specs of your rig?

 

Also "80+ golf", I gotta remember that.

Now I just test watch dogs and could play for 12 hours straight and no reboot but when I plat COD: Ghosts 10 mins in it reboots. I was told it might be a psilu problem, so when it reboots all the fans lights and everything turn off. Is it a dead psi or what because it never happened in the winter when I got it. Do I get a new psu?

Yeah, sounds like a psu problem.  But at the same time it could be your temperautres.  

 

 

You should NEVER overclock your processor on a stock cooler.  I recommend removing the overclock and seeing if that solves your issue or getting a decent CPU cooler.  Just my advice but every experience person should say that overclocking your chip on a stock cooler is completely unacceptable.  Its not your fault you didnt know, but just remove the OC and see if your problem stops. 

[RelentlessAF]

You should NEVER overclock your processor on a stock cooler.

*Never overclock an i7 on a stock cooler.

Your right, because the Pentium changed it all.    But you should never overclock an i5 either, depending on what temp your aiming for. 

[Sonicchick123]

Yeah someone told me that so I put it back to stock speed but still reboots in cod. Is it beacuse of the psu because this never happened back when I got it. I'm also thinking of watercooling later.

[RelentlessAF]

Your right, because the Pentium changed it all.    But you should never overclock an i5 either, depending on what temp your aiming for. 

My temps are fine on my overclocked i5 with the stock cooler still on.

[Sonicchick123]

So is it the psu because I heard that raidmark make bad products and come to think of it I bought it fairly cheap?

it depends on what you call fine.  I call fine about at max of 75, beyond that I call it unsafe.

P.S. watch dogs does the same thing now and one ram slot sill doesn't work. What should I do?

[dragoon20005]

wait why you need to reinstall OS when your clear the CMOS???

 

have you try cleaning the contacts on your memory modules?

 

did you use compress air or something to blow away the dust inside your computer?

 

have you tried updating the drivers and BIOS for your mobo?

[Sonicchick123]

Don't know why I had to reinstall windows, don't know how to clean the ram, I used compressed air and didn't update mobo. When I put my ram stick into the d1 slot it doesn't work. What's the problem?

[dragoon20005]

do you have a pencil eraser?

 

you can use it to rub the memory contact fingers

 

 

 

clear CMOS is just clearing the BIOS settings

 

if you clear it by accident

 

just need to go back into BIOS to reset the boot settings, RAM settings, etc.
