Graphic card problem

Hello guys,

So about a year ago i bought a computer from ExtremeGamer. The specifications are these:

https://www.mediamarkt.be/nl/product/_extremegamer-gami...
( CPU : G3258@3.2Ghz
(GPU: MSI GTX 750 TI 2GB
(8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
(8GB SSD
(1TB HDD
(PSU : 430W

For more information see the link of mediamarkt.

So after a while there were some issues with the PC's. Sometimes while playing the game Smite , My PC just randomly rebooted without any warning. It shutted off and turned automatically back on. It didn't bother me that much because it happend very rarely.

After a while it started happening more often etc. And it became annoying etc. These past days i wanted to play the game Fortnite. While launching the game the same thing happend. PC shutted off and turned automatically back on. So my brother wanted to play another game and same thing happend. So we decieded to play FiFa 14 ( what shouldn't be an issue for this computer). And again after 30-40 minuts same thing happend.

I decieded to stress test my machine. With the CPU was nothing wrong it went normal ( I used Intel Extreme tuning). Then i went to the GPU ( GTX 750Ti). I stress tested it with the program FurMark. Here something really weird happend. i stress tested it with the setting : 1920x1080. Anti-aliasing 8X. And it stress tested normally no reboots or anything. After that i Put anti-aliasing OFF and as soon as i pressed the bottun to stress test the PC shut off. The same problem...

I really don't know what is happening to the computer and it is very frustrating. All drivers are updated and i run Windows 8.
Does someone have a clue ?

Thank you

What PSU exactly?

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Take off the side panel. What PSU model is that? My guess is a CX430 which isnt reliable unit. Since you already have it though, just check.

Yup, a crap one. Change that out to something also 450w, like the be quiet Pure Power 10 or Corsair CXM (grey label). You could pick one up to 550w if you plan on keeping it for future PC upgrades

The problem is that i don't really have the money to buy a new PSU as I am a teenager. Also my parents wouldn't accept that as i bought the pc prebuild. Also i don't really know if it is the PSU... IS there a way to check it ?

Also when I stress test the GPU with 8X anti-aliasing. It stays at 100% load for the full duration. But when i turn the anti-aliasing off it just crashes immediataly. Also yesterday with the 8X anti-aliasing setting. Mid way i tried to take a screenshot with the F9 Key and the PC rebooted itsself again.

A little update. I took out the graphic card and there were no sudden reboots. Any way to check if it is the graphic card or the PSU ?

got any spare GPU or PSU if so replace that and do all the same tests etc. and see if it still doesn't work, (example: replace GPU with the other GPU and do the test, doesn't crash? that was the problem)

Use graphics card tuning tools like MSI Afterburner to underclock the card. If that gives it stability, then it's just the card getting old. If lowering the clock speeds (let's say, 10-15%) doesnt help, then it's your PSU.

I saddly don't have spare GPU or PSU... I started my pc without the graphic card so just with the G3258 and everything seemed to be going fine. No crashes etc.
