I would not consider it a particularly good unit. But, there are plenty of Rosewill parts that are pretty good. You really need to find who makes the unit, because Rosewill, Corsair, and Cooler Master are just putting their stickers on it. (Recent corsair units have been quite subpar actually)

If you do end up looking for a new one, I'd highly recommend the EVGA G2 750w, they are pretty cheap for the really good quality. +10 year warranty is always nice too.

Hello again, here's an update of where things are at. I *thought* that distributing the PCI-E cables across the two different rails of the Rosewill PSU had solved the problem. Indeed, for at least 36 hours, I was able to play frequently for hours and hours at a time without issue. Then, in the past day, I experienced three of the GNNNT crashes, all while playing Shadow of Mordor.

#1: Computer had been on for over 24 hours, so I thought maybe it was an anomaly. Turned it off and let it sit overnight.
#2: Computer had been on for maybe 5 hours, and I'd been playing for a few hours when I got the crash. Turned it off and let it rest for several hours.
#3: Computer had been on for barely 2 hours, if that, and I'd been playing for just under 100 minutes of that when I got another GNNNT crash. These occasionally have happened with a BSOD, this was one of those times. I got the light blue screen, that frowny emoticon, Windows saying it needed to collect some data and restart, and the error was "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR".

Thankfully during this third crash I had been running GPU-Z, so I have that log attached. The final entry is the point where it crashed. I've also attached a screencap of the relevant Warning entry from the Event Viewer.


And to whoever advised me to add my specs, thanks for the reminder, I have now added them to my profile.

Sounds like a game problem now or windows problem. Id highly suggest switching to a diff psu maker such as Seasonic or Corsair.

It's happened multiple times with both Skyrim and Shadow of Mordor, so I don't think it's a specific game issue - and neither of those games should be causing this sort of violent hard-crash. Skyrim is indeed quite modded, but there's no ENBs and the most daunting graphics mods I have on there is Skyrim HD (which was not a problem for many, many hours of play before this began happening). As for Shadow of Mordor, I know it's poorly optimized (6GB VRAM for Ultra textures, lol), so I have all my settings only on High.

My money's still on either the PSU or the RAM being the culprit. But I admit I lack the technical skills to know which 100%. If anyone here can give me a strong indication that the PSU is at fault, I'll definitely buy a better brand than Rosewill. If I had another PSU of appropriate power lying around I'd test it, but I don't have anything of the sort on hand.

Agree with @eidairaman1
Cheap option
Expensive option

Really you don't need a 1kw PSU unless you are going 3x SLI...

Thanks for the recommendations. I didn't realize those wattages would actually be enough.

The GPU-Z data is greek to me, but does it indicate anything about the crashes? I have some equivalent, fresh RAM I could swap in and test to see if that makes a difference as well. If it's not the GPU or the RAM, I guess it's the PSU? Money's just tight right now so I really want to be sure before dropping 80-100 on a new PSU. Thanks again everyone for your help.

Nothing unusual seemed to be on the GPU-Z log. Nothing even seemed to change on the last few lines, so I would not worry about that.

Can't be bothered to re-read the thread, but when was RAM brought up, I don't really see any reason it should be failing, you aren't running it out of normal spec are you?

Nope, nothing abnormal with the RAM. And in case I hadn't mentioned it before - never done an ounce of overclocking or anything of that sort with this system. Thanks for the GPU-Z feedback - I appreciate it. I'll test different RAM just to be sure, and if the problem persists, I think I'll go for a new PSU. Is that cheaper 650W really enough power for my system though? Or should I get the slightly more expensive 750W EVGA one? I tend to leave my computer on for many hours at a time (if that makes a difference).

Guys he does not need to replace the PSU if that GTX 770 was only on 1 of the 30A rails it would still be fine because a 30A rail will deliver 360W when a GTX 770 won't draw more than 250W under load so that is definitely not the problem. The GNNNT noise indicates an infinite loop in the audio. Graphical errors come from the GPU or RAM. Now isolating the GPU from the RAM and CPU is difficult and I have a suspicion that his CPU is the source. So I suggest he tries running a CPU+RAM stress test like IBT with high intensity(maximum ram usage).

Is there some sort of CPU monitoring program akin to GPU-Z I can run and/or how do I go about doing this IBT test? Is this the program? http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/IntelBurnTest.shtml

I'm still most suspicious of the PSU because 1. people have reiterated it's not a great brand and 2. when I redistributed the pci-e cables across the two rails I suddenly was able to play for hours and hours without issue for a couple days before the problem showed back up again. The CPU wasn't changed by any of that so I guess I don't see how that would be more likely to be the source of the problem. But I still defer to the experts of course, this is hardly my wheelhouse.

I got my copy from here.
To monitor CPU temps just download Coretemp.
Yes the PSU is crappy but unless the PSU is overheating there is no reason for it to have a delayed failure. If the PSU was overheating it might eventually lose it's rated capacity but if it isn't overheating it would fail the moment you put any load on it.

Well, the weirdness continues. I just played for over 4 hours straight (and the computer had been on all day already) and no crashes. Go figure. I have CoreTemp and GPU-Z logs and neither of them looks problematic, so I think I can rule out the CPU as the problem? I really expected the crash to happen again...it's quite baffling that it just didn't occur. I'm assuming it'll happen again sooner or later, and if/when it does, I'll test different RAM to see if that makes a difference.

Wait that core temp log is from just playing games?! You're hitting 80+C° bellow 60% load! If you run IBT you'll get a thermal shut down in a few seconds(do it anyway just to make sure). I suspected that you might've had CPU temp issues from what you said before but it just sounded so ridiculous that I didn't dare say it in this thread. If IBT does cause a shutdown you need to go fix you cooler mounting.

No overclocking on any component. Wow, I had no idea the core was overheating that badly.

Are you using the stock cooler?

Don't run IBT right now. Its already overheating.

Reseat the heatsink or buy a new one.

You could do this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

I am using the stock cooler that came with the core, yes. Judging from what you've said, it's not doing its job properly/sufficiently. What is meant exactly by reseating the heatsink? I know how to take it off and put it back on again, but I'm assuming I would need to apply some thermal paste during that process?

Should I even bother to reseat the heatsink or just get that one you recommended? If I buy that one, will I need to buy some thermal paste as well?

If you reseat it you need new thermal paste yes. It shouldn't be that hot unless the fan is faulty or something, but if you want you can get a new cooler. Then you can overclock it if you want to.

EDIT:

That is pretty good and it'll last you a lifetime. Prettyexpensive though, I was able to get that tube for €10...

EDIT again: Heatsinks comes with thermal paste. Some have it pre-applied, some give you a tiny tube or bag.

I think I'll opt for the new cooler outright. Thanks for all the help, everyone - I'll report back once it's arrives and I've installed it.

The CM 212 comes with acceptable thermal paste. Mounting the 212 is a nuisance, it can wiggle after you tighten it down, so try to avoid this as it will break any bonded paste. It performs very well for $30.

I wouldn't bother redoing the Intel heatsink, they are garbage. I had trouble getting mine to clamp hard enough to cool my i5 at all. The plastic pin design is terrible for retention.

Totally agree, MX-4 plus a 212 is the way to go. Yes, the 212 can be a little troublesome, but once you get it on there snug, it's rock solid. I've got one and it not only doesn't move, but cools fantastically.

So should I also get that MX-4 paste as well as the 212 I just ordered? Or will the paste included with the 212 be sufficient?

Check my specs for clocks. My 212 evo with stock paste keeps my cpu at 68C in games. A little hotter in Ibt @ 80-83
I bought the cooler master something something fusion 400 and noticed a 1 to 2 degree diff in stress tests. Meh.
