PC crash need help ASAP :(

[ravagerlord]

My PC setup:

i7-4770K

8GB RAM

ASUS GTX 660

PSU: Corsairs VS 550

liquid cooling: corsair H80i

 

I dont know if my psu isn't enough or my GPU overheat but my PC crashes if i want to play a game that needs more power than League of Legends

for example dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin

Even today i just wanted to play Skyrim and after 1 hour gameplay my PC crashed and after 2 seconds it rebooted itself

And it's happening everytime 

By the way meanwhile im playing Skyrim my GPU only reaches 65 celsius so maybe PSU must be the problem?

Or if anybody else got a different idea whats the problem please share with me i'm clueless 

Please help me

Your power supply has enough wattage, but it could be a dud as well as it can't deliver it's full load.

this may be the CPU or the H80i failing to cool enough

[ravagerlord]

my CPU is 35-45 when im playing

This sounds like a possible psu or heat issue with the gpu

[Silverstreak Folf]

If you can try to clean out your gpu with some compressed air

wow, to think 4 people are answering this, and none had the thought of,"Does it give you an error message when it BSOD?"

 

So yeah, does it BSOD? an error message? if not, your have a hardware problem. check the temps, if the CPU is good, you may have either a GPU heating issue, or a GPU operating issue....to say that you have a bad GPU.

 

P.S. another way is to go to event viewer and see if the most recent event when it crashed was a kernel termination...that is the same event given when you hold the power button.....instant shutdown.

nah it doesn't give me BSOD just simply shuts down then reboots after 1-2 seconds

I had the same issue, waiting on my power supply tester to get here, however it could be surging, I went into my BIOS and turned off the anti surge protection because I like to live dangerously.

Check your event logs to see what it's saying as happening next time it reboots and starts back up.

@ravagerlord if its crashing it could be a bent or broken cpu pin. usually a computer can run for about 30 mins maybe more then it crashes/freezes.
