Pc Restarts while gaming

[Abhiwar]

Hello guys , since today evening my system Restarts whenever I am playing games at High or Ultra settings .  

 

Games I play :- Witcher 3 , American Truck Simulator and Rise Of Tomb Raider , at this point While playing Witcher 3 system rebooted and displayed Surge Protection Error and then same scenario happend with ROTR also . At first I thought its driver issue so I rolled back my AMD drivers to previous version but No luck . Please help me with this issue . Following is my system Config 

 

CPU:- AMD Fx6300 

MB :- Asus M5A78L-M Usb3 

GPU:- StriX R9 380 (2GB) 

RAM:- Corsair Valu select 8gb DDR3

PSU:- Corsair GS600 (5 years old)

Thanks buddy but are you sure its PSU ? because Movies/Songs and other applications are working just fine . 

 

Also if its PSU is it safe to run this machine ?

You're gaming. PSU is on load, providing power to your CPU, GPU and other components.

Could be PSU. If it's giving wonky power under serious load, the motherboard won't like it. That GPU will draw a solid 200W under load. Do you hear chirping noises coming from the PSU when it's under heavy load?

Thank for reply guys . I have disabled Reboot on Error option in Advance Settings still system Reboots under load , now I think it is PSU after all .One question tough Is it safe if I use this system only for Movies or to perform basic tasks ? as at the moment I dont have enough money to buy new PSU immediately .

Should be, probably best to stay away from those power-intensive games though.

BUMP..! 

 

small update :- Just to make sure that its not some other component I did stress tests on both CPU and GPU , and the results were astonishing . 

 

CPU under 100% load had Temps not more than 40C (using Hwmonitor) 

 

for GPU when I clicked on STRESS GPU button BAAAM....machine restarts ..so now I will take my GPU to a friend and do same tests again . 

 

Any ways guys please suggest any good 750W modular PSU from Corsair or Cooler Master . In india I dont think I have much options to choose from other brands . 

 

Till PSU upgrade I will stay away from my Pc and use my old trusty Laptop . 

 

Thank You ..!
