Hello there,
I recently purchased a GTX 980 Ti to replace my GTX 970. I've also been using an overclocked i7-4930K @ 4.5 GHz for more than a year now along with a X79-DELUXE motherboard, and prior to replacing the video card I have had absolutely zero problem with my PC.
Now here's the thing: every time I put my PC on full load (say benchmarking on Fire Strike or a very graphically demanding game), it will shut down without any warning or BSOD whatsoever, just like if someone pulled the AC power cord from the wall socket. Upon restarting, this message will appear: "Power supply surges detected during the previous power on ASUS Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit."
My motherboard's BIOS is up-to-date and I have tried disabling ASUS Anti-Surge in the BIOS, but the PC will still shutdown just like before, except the ASUS Anti-Surge message simply won't appear. I have also used Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalled NVIDIA's drivers but it made no difference at all.
I am currently using a Cooler Master V1000 80+ gold power supply (made by Seasonic) which should be more than enough given that I only have 1 video card in my system.
HOWEVER, I have noticed that if I do not overclock the CPU, or if I don't overclock the GPU, then it will take a longer time for the PC to shutdown, but it will inevitably happen (it will shutdown after 10 minutes instead of 30 seconds to 1 minute). Both the CPU and GPU stay under 65*C degrees on full load (100% fan speed).
So my questions are: how likely is it that it is a power supply problem? Could the problem originate from the new video card or the motherboard?
Thank you in advance for your answers! :thumb:
