Monitor standby/shutdown during most games
After buying BF3 my computer was going into monitor standby followed by a computer shutdown anywhere from a minute to 10 minutes into gameplay. Upgraded my video card to a 6870 and it continued to do so until I was shown that my pitiful 450w PSU couldn't handle the new card and I got a 600w. Problem went away for Battlefield 3 and have been playing at ultra settings ever since with zero problem.
Flash to getting Skyrim, same problem occurring. Lowered settings from Ultra to about half high half medium with no AA. That seemed to work. (though something seems wrong with being able to play BF3 at ultra yet it can't handle Skyrim at high?) Recently upgraded my motherboard/ram/and CPU considerably. This problem is now reoccurring with Skyrim and even did it once with Lost Planet 2. Still nothing on BF3 however. Recently I loaded up Red Alert 3, and have the same problem.
I'm at a loss as to what could possibly be causing this outside of a bad PSU or video card, but that doesn't explain why BF3 is still working perfectly.
-Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit
-ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
-i5-2400
-8 Gigs DDR3
-ModxStream Pro 600w
-Radeon HD 6870
I managed to get a recovery error report on the last shutdown, however, and thought it time to get help since this is obviously over my head.
