Direct X is part of Windows now so I can't uninstall it but I double checked that everything is up to date.
Direct X is part of Windows now so I can't uninstall it but I double checked that everything is up to date.
Update:
PC never crashed while running the GPU test. Topped out at 86C and fan speed was only 61%.
I decided to format again and do a fresh install with nothing but the basics. Mouse, KB, video drivers, and Windows Updates. Stored a game on another HDD and booted from there. PC still restarts after 5 - 60 minutes of gaming. It even restarted while running Netflix.
I still have yet to get a BSOD even with auto restart turned off.
I looked though the Event log on the fresh install and it still the same Event IDs as before. I looked under windows logs > system and found:
Event ID 41

I'm out of ideas accept to start buying new pieces and see if it will work.
Any direction would be very much appreciated.

If it is a reboot without BSOD, looks like a power problem. Did you have the BSODs before replacing the PSU? Just to make sure, how about running off your onboard graphics and try to play a game (very low quality and maybe less than 20fps, but...) for a while. Power draw will be little and the chances are if there is a problem with the PSU, it won't be loaded enough to crash the PC. Furmark is not a good stresstester for post GT400 cards unless u somehow manage to disable throttling.
For troubleshooting purposes are you prepared to give up Gaming for a period of time?
I can't game right now anyways so I don't have anything to lose. I just want to play games and not think "I wonder if what I did worked...*PC crashes*"For troubleshooting purposes are you prepared to give up Gaming for a period of time?
I'll try that out and post back the results.how about running off your onboard graphics and try to play a game (very low quality and maybe less than 20fps, but...) for a while
Update:
I was doing some reading about my PSU and my GPU because it still feels like a power issue. The minimum requirements for my GPU are 550W at 38AMPs on the 12v (sorry I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to electricity). The 12v on my current PSU(1000W) is 40AMP Maximum. I'm not sure but it sounds like I need a new PSU. Is a two AMP buffer enough?
Update:
I put in an old 9800GTX+ GPU and the restarts still happen with EventID 41 and 6008. Still no BSOD.
Thought:
I purchased Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
Instead of Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Would that make a difference?
