If you don't find the problem there, you can move on to the fun stuff, like swapping out your PSU and resetting motherboard BIOS. | ||

Coretemp get tos 40 degrees GPU temp is about 55 degrees the PSU is the same on my old system, its a TX 750W Corsair RAM is fine. My old system Asus M4A758-M Anthlon X3 Corsair 750W 470GTX GPU DDR2 of 4GB and everything was fine, no problems and when i put my new things in Asus P7H55-M PRO GTX 470GPU i5 750 750W PSU DDR 3 of 4GB The only things diff r the CPU,RAM and mobo and when i did that i started to have problems, the old build was fine. Reset BIOS | ||

----> Try Removing power saving features in the BIOS / speedstep c1e ------> Try individual Ram sticks and run intelburntest on each. ** Intelburntest is gonna heat up your processor a LOT, way beyond any normal gaming you might do, monitor your temps while its running to make sure its not going above like 85-90C. | ||

I had twice the exact same experience with 2 dying GPU (restart or crash watching youtube video, or playing agame, but not in windows if I do nothing in windows. Only while playing a video or a game) Well, that's just my experience. | ||

I have the exact same problem (with Asus P5Q3 and have narrowed it down to memory (g skill ddr3 1333 2GB x2) being incompatible with the motherboard. Mine restarted after doing a memtest. I have no idea on how to go about dealing with this other than switching memory till i find the right one and tweaking dram stuff. No luck yet. Haven't played SC2 for almost 2 months now.  | ||

@LaiShin and Doko the DDR3 Ram is fine, they were not problems with it @Mr.Con, I am either thinking it is my PSU OR GPU because they were both transfered from my old pc without ANY problems to THIS one im currently using, and after that , i started to experience the problems. | ||

I think you should try replicating the computer restarts through other means to understand what conditions really are triggering it. e.g. if the computer restarts when CPU stress testing but not GPU stress testing, that tells you it's probably not the GPU at fault. | ||

GPU Temp underload is 70~75 degrees CPU underload is 65degrees when they were underload, my computer never restarted. @G_WEN DRAM looks fine, ram mem test individually, and together and there r no problems | ||

GPU and CPU temps under load are high, especially for not overclocking. Not terribly high but high enough that it could be the problem. I'm not a fan of stock heat sinks but they should be ok if you are not overclocking, it seems more likely it's a case ventilation issue. Double check your voltage settings and RAM timings in BIOS, you didn't specify whether they were manual or auto. Those loads are all 100% and everything it auto in BIOs | ||

My computer>properties>advanced>start up and recovery settings>uncheck "automatically restart" Since you say your monitor also sometimes shuts down I'm thinking loose cable to the GPU or faulty PSU. Check the 6pin connectors, check the DVI/VGA cable from the GPU to the monitor and check with another PSU. | ||
