Well here's a tricky one i can't solve by my own.
I'm placing it nVidia section since i think it is the GPU causing the problem.
I just gave my brothers son my old computer.
The specs is
*i7 930
*Corsair Dominator DHX+ DDR3 1600MHz 6GB
*ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, Socket-1366
*MSI GTX 760
*Thermaltake Toughpower 750w PSU
*1TB WD HDD
When i used this computer it run just fine with my two HD7970 in CF.
To the problem
It's two scenario.
*Every time he/i try to load a saved game, the computer just reboot. No error message, no BSOD and nothing in the event viewer.
*When we launch a game it seems to run perfectly. You can change all the settings etc, but just a secong into the intro in the game. Same reboot appear from no where.
And it seems like it happens more often in "easier" games like LEGO and older games.
I have tried almost everything now.
*First, all drivers/bios are up to date.
*I've tried older driver for the video card. Back to 320.49.
*I've tried Turbo boost/Speedstep/and all C-states both on and off.
*I've tried both stock CPU speed and a slight OC
*Prime95 gives me around 75c as highest on one CPU core. Did make a run over the night.
*memtest+ can't find any errors. Did make a run over the night.
*OCCT can't find any errors what so ever.
*Both 3DMark and UNIGINE's Heaven runs just fins. UNIGINE's Heaven was looping over the night. The highest GPU temp stayed around 77-78c
So there's only two things a suspect from this point.
*The PSU? But OCCT PSU benchmark can't find any problems.
*The GPU. Why? I'm not 100% sure since the reboot happens to quick and suddenly. But right before the reboot happens "and remember, it's always happens when the GPU usage drops" the GPU core voltage drops down to 0.8, the fans make a little less noise, and a ½ sec after that, boom.
Since i'm a AMD user my self i have no experience with nVidia. Is there any power saving function in the registry you can change?
I've already change it in the nVidia CP.
