Experiencing Auto Reboots

[mashly]

A quick rundown of my specs:

I7-4771

GIGABYTE GTX 660TI

GIGABYTE H87M-D3H Motherboard

8GB of DDR 3 RAM at 1333 MHz

FSP PT-650M PSU

 

The games I play are Dota2, CSGO, Fortnite. I have recently cleaned out my gpu fans and reapplied thermal paste on my gpu. It still runs slightly hot around 70-80c for Dota on all high settings. When it reaches the 78c I still don't drop frames but it is around that time, my PC reboots on its own. I am not sure whether this is a GPU/PSU issue and I hope somebody can help me on this because I am sure 80c for a GPU might be hot but might not be that bad to auto reboot my pc.

 

CPU Temps in game reaches around 57c. So I do not think it's a CPU issue too.

 

I will try my best to test the PC with another PSU over the weekend but in the meantime please do give me suggestions. Thanks.

This sounds like a PSU issue. Also a i7 4771... you mean 4770?

4771 is an actual CPU

Hmm okay, i will try it with another PSU this weekend from my friend. Thanks!

related to that, I know you're seeing a correlation between temps and shutdowns. but also take a look at the power usage when this occurs (they're linked for sure, power = more heat to get rid of)

but you may discover a certain wattage that your system hits and shuts down, which could help determine the root cause

Any idea how I am able to track this?

ideally, a wattmeter from the wall. 

but you can approximate this by looking at a program like MSI Afterburner, which can show you power draw for some of your components (mainly CPU and GPUs, which take the most).

HWINFO64 has more detail, but is harder for new users to parse through and understand.

So I just played a game of Fortnite at Medium settings can't hit 60fps and my power as hovering 1137mV and it did not crash. Temps were around 75c

That's not power consumption. That's voltage. Power draw is a percentage of your TDP, or just a wattage.

Oh okay. I checked my gpu power consumption is rated at 450W. So I will monitor the percentage via MSI Afterburner?

Sorry for the late reply. Timezone. Anyway this is my TDP on idle. Is it normal?   

[mashly]

Update: @tarfeef101 I just played a game of Fortnite temps hovering 73c due to low ambient in a A/C room at 20c. Power consumption was at 91-95%

[mashly]

@tarfeef101 Just ran a furmark test and it crashes the moment it reaches 80c and last noted TDP was at 97.8%

your TDP is actually 150W, that amount is the "recommended minimum PSU wattage"

you shouldn't have a problem with going over your power draw for that PSU.

I would try using MSI afterburner, set your temperature limit to something like say, 73C.
