Hello,
I'm having some trouble with my new rig. The problem is everytime I try to play a game the whole system restarts. I thought it could be the PSU not being a high enough wattage but I used a few wattage calculators online and got results within my current PSU wattage. I have updated my bios, gfx drivers and direct x and still have the same problem.
My system is:
core i7 920 @ default speed
asus rampage II extreme
asus rog gtx 285 @ default speeds x 1
1tb western digital sata hard drive
samsung IDE dvd rom drive
750w lian li silent pro
corsair h50 liquid cooling
I have 3 led fans 2x 140mm, 1 x 120mm
other info:
Im using steam to launch games
on windows 7 profesional
ran prime 95 to test cpu and was fine
I think I heard a whizzing noise from the gfx card but could't pin point the exact location so might not have been it.
The gfx card is brand new so I havent had it run any 3D applications
I'm unsure on how I can debug the problem so any suggestions are welcome.
thanks in advance Binary
