Pc crashes under load

[sasa29564]

I've recently built my new pc the specs are:

i5-6600k

GTX 980TI

Gigabyte z170-HD3

8GB Corsair Vengence Ram 2400mhz

Bequiet BN242 600W PSU

 

I've been having a problem where if my GPU reaches 100% usage the pc crashes. I've tried the following:

1.Downclocking the card to save power

2. Turning off the XMP profile on the ram

3. Taking off the overclock of my CPU to save power

4. Connected everything up to a different power supply

5. Tried another GPU to see if it's something else that's causing issues

None of these things helped. Any ideas? Or should I just sell my GPU and save up for a different one?

Upgrade your Ram. 16GB atleast. It happens with the (9)80 Ti Versions of cards. Not enough ram

My friend had this problem. 

 

Someone posted recently about their 1080 Ti doing the same thing.

This is a failing power supply. If you find kernel power in event log, your psu is dead.

Your PSU should be fine to handle that unless you have a ton of drives connected, so power shouldnt an issue.

 

If its locking up your PC do you have anything in your system log? if you unsure how to look at that, its could be as simple as a driver issue. Use DDU to uninstall your driver and reinstall the latest one

If you find kernel power in the event log it just shows an event happened to do with the power ie a restart, power off, restart etc.

 

More than likely RAM.

I've tried a different power supply (EVGA 500w) and i was still getting crashes

Huh thats useful I have kernel power and my friend said it was my psu. Its gonna be painful to replace 64gb of ram for my pc/server

Test the ram before you replace it.

So when it was new. I had no issues. A week ago. I only have 48gb of ram. Now 64gb. Faulty ram?

that cutting it close with the power you need unless thats a gold rated power supply thats not enough

[Sending_Help]

Has it done crashes before now? what weird picture too

DDU in safe mode and reinstall GPU drivers fresh new, run it without overclocking applied.

Test it, and find out, that's very weird

[userzero]

Sorry meant to say that finding kernel power system entries in your event viewer would indicate an unscheduled power off/restart. This will happen if the machine hangs and you have to manually power it off or pull the plug etc.

Good point on the profile pic mate... not talking to anyone who puts stuff like that
