GPU causes system shutdown after overheating.

[Navin]

I have a old 5570 which when reaches 72 degrees shuts down my system.

 

I ran memtest to check my memory and its fine.

Ran the system without the gpu and it was fine.

Ran furmark and at 72 degrees system shuts down.

 

I have a 650tm psu for a i3 sandy bridge and a 5570 which is a bit overkill. I want to know if its my gpu or the psu that is causing the problem.

 

I read that when the psu is not stable it might cause certain parts of the motherboard to fail 

Any help would be great!

It might be a power supply issue. The 5570 temperatures you're receiving are 100% normal.

O_o 72 degree celcius should be OK. Some people even have their GPU run on 80+ degree and have no problem.

 

How old is your PSU?

what brand is your PSU?

(650 tm? can you explain or you mean 650W?) 

Have you update your driver (just asking might not help solve the problem)?

Yes, it could be a power supply issue, temps are totally fine.

Maybe it's because the GPU is using too much power and the PSU might not be able to provide the necessary power.

psu is a corsair 650watt ( model name tx650m)

Does the entire system shutdown or do you just lose signal to the screen ?

[Navin]

The display loses its signal but the system is running.

its probably  software that does that or your PSU my cards run at 85C and nothing shuts down.
