Hi friends.

I'm back with my never ending power problems.

My new TX650 80 PLUS Gold PSU came in today. I installed it in my PC, tested it with a multimeter and everything seemed fine. But then when I started playing GTA 5 it turned off after a while. I used my multimeter again, and tried 2 more times. Everytime it turned off the voltage SPIKED to 21.5+V, then I heard a soft click and the system turned off. Could it possibly be that the old PSU damaged my videocard? (The 12V rail was broken on my VS650).

Please help. I've been struggling with this PC for over a month now. I'm seriously frustrated. Thanks.

Could be a thermal shutdown. Monitor your temps while playing. Also, what's your specs, and what CPU cooler do you have?

Thermals are fine. I use the stock wraith spire cooler on my r5 1600 @stock speeds. 7970GHz edition is also at stock speeds; never exceeds 75°C. I'm really quite frustrated. I don't knoe what could possibly causing my problem.
