Posted October 9, 2017 My PC has been rebooting whenever I put my GPU (GTX 950) under stress. It started happening when I was gaming and then whenever I start an MSI Kombustor test, it immediately reboots. I've tried stressing my old GPU (GT 610), and it went 10 full minutes in Kombustor no problem (Except for the terrible FPS lmao). I looked into this problem myself, and the possibility came up that it might be my PSU. It seems unlikely to me since I have plenty of space with my EVGA 650w Gold Certified PSU to handle my GTX 950, but I figured I'd try anyway since a PSU upgrade will be much cheaper than a new GPU. So I stress tested with both my GT 610 and CPU using Prime95 for 10 minutes. Still no reboot, so I'm pretty sure it's not the PSU (Although I could try to snag my brother's 750 Ti to try and put the PSU under more stress and test this further. LMK if I should try this) Other than that, I'm out of ideas. Do I need a new Graphics Card?? IF you have any other things for me to try, please feel free to reply, but tbh I wouldn't mind an upgrade.

If the card is asking for more power then it can get. Then it sends a reset to the motherboard.

Posted October 9, 2017 What do your temps and fan curve look like? Are in a naturally hot room? Just my opinion but 650w seems a bit underpowered to run a Xeon processor and a older high end gpu at full tilt. "The Codex Electronica does not support this overclock."

Just my opinion but 650w seems a bit underpowered to run a Xeon processor and a older high end gpu at full tilt. My Xeon is very power efficient. It's basically a locked i7 w/o internal graphics. 650 is definitely plenty.

I have the G2 version of that power supply and my 1080 rarely even turns the fan on, I think it's 50% load to turn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps its a software incompatibility, so please give Asus realbench a try. Also are there any overclocks specified in afterburner (for example) that is not suitable for your new card Recent builds: Meshify C (Zero Tolerance!) & View 37 (Breathable Quad 2080Ti + 2990WX) Best documented PC coolants Older Builds Spoiler Full-custom loop builds: Meshify C (Full custom loop SLI), Ncase M1(8700K + 1080Ti Full custom loop) Obsidian 900D (1950X + Quad 1080Ti) & Fractal Define C (1080 in SLI) Air-cooled builds Air 740D (1920X + Quad 980Ti) & Fractal Define C (Version Air!)
