Master_Marmot_Prime Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Faulty PSU? Never go cheap on a PSU. Are all cables connected? Is Warframe the only game making your pc crash/ shut down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNo0B Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 yea. before i got the new power supply other games did it too. but after i got it its a bit better. other games dont crash and warframe lasts longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefe Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What's the wattage on that power supply, out of curiosity? The specs on Nvidia's page says it needs at least 300 watts. Also, when I say overheating, I'm wondering if you've been dusting out your PC every so often. Heat is a PC's greatest enemy, and a common reason why it will shut itself down to protect your hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNo0B Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 i've dusted like a few month ago. i got 520 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Marmot_Prime Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What is the brand? Have you tried reseating the RAM modules after replacing the PSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNo0B Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 What is the brand? Have you tried reseating the RAM modules after replacing the PSU? i found out that its not my power supply but my graphic card overheating (103 celecius was the max when i was playing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiePi Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If you are in a budget, do some ghetto cooling. My cpu is water cooled @5.2ghz and I have 2 gtx680s oc'd in sli and a gtx650 PhysX card. I replaced the side of my case with a cheap box fan I picked up for $2, then readjusted my case fans to compensate for the air flow change. Now my cpu never breaks 50c on full load and my gpu's never go much higher than 60ish c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strac_CRO Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 i found out that its not my power supply but my graphic card overheating (103 celecius was the max when i was playing) remove GPU card out and clean dust? also removing GPU's cooler and re-applying thermal paste might help?

Morcant Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Good lord, 102°C is ridiculous. Pull the GPU and make sure the heatsink and fan are clear of dust. Sounds like maybe your GPU fan isn't even working. If you're under warranty, RMA it. If you're out of warranty and your fan is bad, replace it with a third-party cooler.

[DE]Linkski Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 i found out that its not my power supply but my graphic card overheating (103 celecius was the max when i was playing) As Morcant said, I highly suggest you look into ways to improve the cooling on your GPU. Ensure that your fans are working and maybe even invest in alternate means to cool your system. Good lord, 102°C is ridiculous. Pull the GPU and make sure the heatsink and fan are clear of dust.
