Need help computer shutting down at full load

potanda · Apr 17, 2012, 02:41 PM

When i start to play bf3 my computer frezzes with mouse on screen then i have to hard shut it down and when i try to overclock anymore i cant go past 4.1 ghz because my computer shuts down and when i try to turn it on it goes to bios does that one beep that means everything is ok then shuts down But if i leave the psu unplugged for a hour or two it turns back on No problem IM pretty sure its the Psu but i want some second opinions before i spend $400 on a 1500w

MY specs are
amd fx-8120 overclocked to 4.1
asus saber tooth 990fx
ALOT OF FANS all running at %100 including the video cards fans are always %100
corsair h60
4x 8gig sticks of corsair ram
two ati 6970's overclocked
two 7200rpm harddrives

and i forgot to add a couple months ago i noticed if i have my HTC plugged into my pc when its turned off my computer cant turn on till its unplugged

potanda · Apr 17, 2012, 02:42 PM

My psu is a BFG 1000wat

Before you do further testing. Try enabling vsync.

I experience that as well with a Rezound and 2 Droids, every once in a while.

potanda · Apr 17, 2012, 02:45 PM

its enabled i Checked that

brandonwh64 · Apr 17, 2012, 02:46 PM

Have you tested your OC with LinX, intelburntest, or prime95? Also WHY do you need a 1500W PSU or a 1000W PSU for that matter?

965 Black @ 3.8Ghz + 2x 6950's unlocked to 6970's can pull up to 725W. I am just doing the fundamentals right now, making sure it's not something else.

phanbuey · Apr 17, 2012, 02:47 PM

Its the PSU. Get a PSu with a return policy, if it doesn't solve your problem send it/take it back.

potanda · Apr 17, 2012, 02:48 PM

I ran prime 95 when i o/c no errors and it ran fine i was thinking BFG died in like 2010 and dont psu's degrade in watts fast ?

With that said then graphics cards are then pulling more than what the psu can handle. Go with a nice Seasonic, Enermax, or a high wattage Corsair (850W+).

potanda · Apr 17, 2012, 02:53 PM

How many wats is sufficient ? I was looking at this one would it be enough ? COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Hybrid RS-D00-SPHA-D3 130...

Before doing anything with the PSU, Take one card out and run single card to confirm this. I still don't think it should tax 1000W

I did That already it worked fine then i then i swapped the card that i had running with the other one to see if it was the card and it still worked fine

Ok then, PSU is most likely the issue. Does it do this with EVERY games you try? Also does it do it in Furmark or Kombuster?

Myself and crazyeyes have confirmed this already, B. Again I was just double checking to make sure it wasn't something else.

@potanda

I myself would go with any one of these

ABS Majesty series MJ1100-M Continuous 1100W@50°C ...

ENERMAX ERV1000EWT-G 1000W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2...

If you feeling inexpensive

potanda · Apr 17, 2012, 02:59 PM

I forgot there was other games besides BF3 xD il test Furmark im familiar with that I will be back with results

Could choose any one of those 1Kw. All of them are stellar deals.

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 17, 2012, 03:16 PM

yea change the PSU to something that doesn't suck

i tried using an HX 850 with 2x 6970s and a Sandybridge cpu, it killed the HX850 and killed both GPUs and 3 HDDs, lol

you need alot of grunt to handly a fully overclocked system

FX series sucks more power then god damn fermi per mm^2
combine that with 2x 6970s that can hit 270+ watts full load

your looking at

CPU when fully overclocked 190-300w depending on what you max out at
GPUs when overclocked max out at 300-320w each

worst case senario

300+300+300 = 900 thats before we add fans, mobo, hdds, optical, ssds, or any other misc items in the PC, this doesnt mean its the power lvl its going to hit all the time, but it will spike to this and an unstable unit wont handle it

Your right Im defiantly going to not use my her till she gets a new psu thanks for the warning
I think im going to get a fan contoler to so im not running 5 120 mm fans and a water pump just of my mobo for some reson that dosent sound good ether and there only $14
