PSU cutting out? Help.

GregzTheGreat · July 23, 2014

I have gone through 3 faulty CS750M's. I would be playing games such as A.C - Black flag and Battlefield 4. Both of which would freeze, forcing me to reset my computer, or crashing to an unresponsive desktop, forcing a restart anyway.

I have recently bought an AX860 to try and remedy the problem. The problem has persisted.

I do not know what to do at all to stop it. The other CS750M's may have been faulty, and getting the AX860 has prolonged my gameplay, but it prolongs the inevitable. I will crash. And I have had enough. This has persisted since January, I have gone through a lot of compromise, RMA'ing and metaphorically hitting my head against a wall to get this sorted, yet it won't stop.

I have updated all GPU drivers.

My specs are as follows:

i7 4770k

16gb Corsair Vengenace RAM.

Dark Rock 3 CPU cooler.

Z87 G65 MSI Gaming motherboard.

AX860 PSU.

250gb Samsung EVO SSD.

2tb HDD.

Gigabyte 780ti windforce edition.

What do I do next? I am out of options.

I'm pretty sure it's in no way your PSU fault. Either your house's electricity have some problem or some other part of your computer have some problem, since a PC like that will run just fine even with a 600W PS with OC and all. 750W+ is usually for a 2 way SLI system, not with a single GPU system like this.

If you are installing your games on the HDD, and that HDD is about 3-5 years old already then it might be the HDD dying out instead. Also there's tons of other random stuff that may happen like with my friend's PC which have a very destructive HDD that whichever computer that I plug that HDD in will shutdown and cant be boot up again for at least 1-2 hours, so for those kind of problem you might want to bring your PC to a PC repair shop and ask them to check each part individually.
