System reseting when gaming gets INTENSE .

The graphic card temperature worries me

i used to have the same with my old PSU TX850W after having it for 10 weeks so i sent it back and got an Antec 750W for my lan pc

Lan pc
Q6600 @ 3.4GHZ V10 cooler 58'c
8GB DDR3 1333MHZ OCZ
2x Geforce GTX 285 OC 740MHZ Inno3D
P45 DFI lanparty mobo Tri SLI enabled
WIn7 X64 SP1

Thats too hot for GPU my 2 GTX 285s @ 60'c each on idle and load is 67'c

and main pc is 2x Radeon 5970 Xfire @ 68'c/69'c

So what do you suggest ? It's could be a faulty power supply unit?

I would look at your GPU. If you're gaming and the system shuts down, that could very well be an overheating video card. With that said, do you have access to some sort of replacement to test?

I would probably recommend the software route first instead of recommending spending money.

as your fan speed is controlled by your drivers (his shoots up to 100% on failiure) an as he is getting a sound loop crash it sounds like a simple driver issue/crash to me.

PSU possibly but normally if the gpu doesnt get enough juice it drops to 2d speeds it doesnt crash. Same if it gets too hot.

Im suspecting his high idle temps are due to a high ambient temp rather than a problem (look where he lives )

Maybe first a clean gpu driver install , chipset driver soundcard driver etc

Im probably wrong its worth a shot before cash

To (re)state my philosophy,

Start with the simple, than progress from there.

So before you start spending cash on “guesswork”… start with the simple, than progress from there. Troubleshoot!!! So yeah, I agree with archie here as well.

So when I said….

That meant use available resources on hand.


Just to clearify things

one try Motherboard driver update
Two try sound card update
then if it still fails flash bios to newer release
