hello guys its me once again , I have corsair GS600 PSU and few days back I posted about PC restarting while gaming . Now here is the confusing part I did few tests and now am more confused on exactly which component is causing restarts . following tests i did 

 

1> Replaced Ram chips = No luck Pc still restarts 

2> Removed side panel cover = No lcuk here as well 

3> Replaced PSU connectors = No Luck . 

 4> As suggested by my friend I removed all UPS and Power Strips Connected my PC directly in to wall point and voila Pc ran well.  I was able to play Rise of Tomb Raider for good 5-6 mins but no Restarts , so I started Witcher 3 and the game started well for good 10mins . 

 

Still not satisfied I downloaded FurMark and CPUZ for stress testing . 

1> Fur Mark = GPU Under full load for good 7 mins , Temps were around 71-73C but when I exited from FurMark PC rebooted again and showed Anti Surge message . 

 

2> CPUZ= With CPU under full laod on all 6 cores the Temp never went past 52C and here there was No restarts as well . 

 

3> just to make sure I ran both CPU and GPU stress at same point for good 2-3mins and No pc restart at all . 

 

I can't figure it out exactly whats causing problem is it PSU or some other component . Is it possible that PSU is overheating and because of this its restarting ? 

 

Also for how long I can run these stress tests ? 

 

Guys am sorry to post this again but please help me diagnosing ? the new RM750X costs good 9000/- INR  (134$ US) . So before I invest in it I just want to make sure am buying correct part . 

 

I dont have option to swap any parts as none of my friends own good PSU all of them are using unrated local PSUs and i dont want to risk my hardware here . 

 

My system Config :- 

 

CPU:- AMD FX 6300 

MB:- Asus M5A78L-M usb3 

RAM- Corsair 8Gb DDR3 

GPU- ASUS Strix r9 380 (2GB) 

PSU- Corsair GS600

It ran without the UPS and the extensions? That might be the issue then. Your UPS might not be supplying the right amount of power to your PSU or there are too many things connected to the extensions which overloads it and triggers the undervoltage protection on your Corsair PSU.

It ran well for some time but after some time PC reboots .Tonight after office I'll play W3 as long as I can and will upload MSI GPU log file here . It will be really helpful if some one can read those file and tell me exactly what's wrong . 

Also in event manager I couldn't find any errors for power failure .

Guys issue resolved , actually solution is bit silly buy yeah ! it worked . Yesterday I was about to order new PSU while an simple Idea saved good 134$ for me. I noticed that there is'nt enough ventilation and may be due heat PSU is'nt performing as it should be so I Whatsapp this to my friends and made call to one my gaming buddy who suggested that I should keep my PSU out of the case for testing and VOILA...! it worked after placing PSU out side the case I've been playing TW3 for almost 4hrs now and there is no restart or system failure at all . 

 

So now ill add two more fans at the bottom for intake and will add few wood blocks to raise system height so that PSU can breath easily . 

 

Big Big Thanks for all your support guys ..!
