Computer Restarting

[NickB417]

Whenever I try and play any games my computer just restarts. I have a Evga supernova 750W 80+ bronze which i bought 6 months ago. I looked in the bios and it said my cpu (intel i5 4690k) was 60c. I use the stock intel cooler and my cpu isn't overclocked at all so i was wondering if you guys think its a power supply problem or a cpu temp problem

What GPU do you have? This sounds like a gpu problem.

 

60c is not that much for a 4690k so might be something else than the CPU

Maybe its not seated properly?

i have the msi gtx 970 

[Fattedd]

Did the 970 function properly before? Or did this problem just start recently?

[Fattedd]

Maybe its not seated properly?

Could be? But then the processor should not function correctly outside of games right?

[NickB417]

it worked fine before this just started happening this week

Depends. Maybe you need a different cooler but even then that still doesn't make sense.

[Fattedd]

We need some more information regarding when it started happening etc.

 

If it worked fine before and suddenly you're having difficulties it could be a driver issue. 

 

If you want to make sure it's not the gpu you could remove it and try running a game on internal graphics which would show what the problem is.

welp i updated my nvidia driver and that didnt help. This just started happening two days ago and I built this computer 6 months ago. ill try taking out the gpu next

[NickB417]

Well I'm trying to lauch vindictus because that is like a definite restart but now the game won't even start so I can't tell if it's gonna restart or not

[NickB417]

I'm just gonna delete system32 and cry myself to sleep

[NickB417]

Ok I downloaded a stress test thing and my computer restarted immediately after starting the test

[NickB417]

It restarts after both the gpu test and the cup test
