Random restarts.

[clementk]

Hi i came here because i have no idea what to test for next firstly let me list what i have tested.

 

> No-OC test with load.(worked Fine)

> Full-OC test with load.(worked Fine)

> Tested Each GPU on other motherboard(Worked fine)

> Tested ram with Windows diognostic and with other ram(worked fine)

> Tested PSU in other system(could not load that much in that system)

> Tested other GPU in MB slots

> Even did full Virus scan on boot

 

 

The PC is not overheating and the OC is stable. When i load the PC 100% GPU'S and CPU it does not happen.

PSU is RM850 Gold.

 

It is not due to using to much power the CPU takes about 115Watts and both GPU's around 275Watts each.

 

Times when it had happens. When i play games like CS:GO, Dirt 3 and even when PC is idling.

After it restarted the PC turns on but sometimes the screens don't. with both GPU's they are not at fault.

The restarts are completely random and event viewer just give Error 41 (power loss)

 

Just wanted to come ask here to find out a few things.

 

Can The motherboard be at fault and then work perfectly the again?

What else can i test that would not cost me the price of a new Part just to test it?

Or just any Tips on what i can do to find out whats wrong.

Could you check you're motherboard for leaking capacitors? When I was still working I experienced a customer with the same symptoms and it turns out the mobo was dying

All the caps seem to be fine.

 

I am testing a setting now i found in the bios on gigabyte MBs will see if it happens again since i can't easily replicate the restarts.

 

Power Loading : Enables or disables dummy load. When the power supply is at low load, a self-protection will activate causing it to shutdown or fail. If this occurs, please set to Enabled. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto)

Will also try to plug it into another plug in the house might be power dips?

Just wanted to update i think i found the problem will still need to see if i get another random restart.

But one of the PCI-E Extension cables seems to have been Shorting.(missed it as it was not visible had to remove the PSU.
