Odd power issue

[WarriorsHonor]

Honestly as some one who repairs computers for a living its a bit embarassing to ask for help. But nobody knows everything so here we go. I have AMD 6300 socketed into a gigabyte 970A-DS3. Im also running a 750 corsair PSU(brand new) along with an HD Radeon 7990 and finally a corsair h100i. For some unknown reason when under load (lately when im playing ranked overwatch..... oh god the rage) my system will restart. Not blue screen. Not throw an error. Just restarts will immediately boot back up. Windows event viewer shows just a kernel power error. I have just replaced my PSU assuming it was the issue. I've monitored the heat and nothing outlandish going on there. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had an issue with my HD7950 that was similar while playing Space Engineers. I was able to resolve it by using a different (non-beta) driver. Have you tried that?

1. At least you're not running an RX for a day because this is known to happen every single time it's under load and

 

2. May be returning the 750W and upgrading to an 850W or 900W would be better because a 7990 is a very hung power-hungry card

So when you say "nothing outlandish" with the heat what exactly are the values you are getting? Do you have the 6300 overclocked at all?

 

Maybe try running Memtest86 for a few passes to make sure there's no issues there first thing.

no the 6300 is stock and under load were talking 55 C

this had bridged across several different drivers

I don't know how to help you. Hope this gif cheers you up.

that corgi represents my soul every time i loser power during ranked overwatch

How many amps on the 12v rail of that PSU?

If it's under 60a, then that may be the problem. Under heavy load, your PSU wouldn't be able to deliver enough power.

If possible try another power supply and see if the problem persists, if it does check for any signs of damaged components around the motherboards vrm area, there's a few reports on google about the vrms overheating/popping on that board

Depending upon what else you have in your computer, you may simply need a slightly larger power supply. The HD7990 is very power hungry. Try an 850 watt supply. Or, you could retire (or sell) the 7990 and get a Radeon Fury or GTX-1080 which would perform as well, at less power draw.
