Do one thing. Before the "Starting Windows" logo shows up, repeatedly tap F8. You will find the option "Disable automatic restart on system failure".

Now run the machine and see if you get any blue screens. It might happen that a BSOD is occurring so fast that you can't see it because a standard monitor takes time to switch resolutions(BSOD is displayed in 640*480)..

After you confirm this, we will help you to dig deeper.

Ok it still just restarts. No blue
Furmark is no stress test. It does not stress GPU close to 100%. lets get that strait. It blows as any kind of stressing.

OP Test your PSU with a multimeter.

Any one in particular or just whatever I find online?

??? Is this post supposed to mean what it says?

*Furmark is a GPU stress test... and DOES peg GPU to 100%...(though its overkill, yada yada, but...)

I'm a bit confused at what you were going on for a number of reasons, LOL! :)

Any multimeter. check +12V yellow and +5V red on any molex connector. A physical multimeter would be better than a software, but you can try AIDA64 or Hwinfo .

There were cards with burnt VRMs due to furmark.

Well check the power cable and PSU then.
Power cables in securely if that's what you mean.

ok I'll check a software multimeter tonight, I don't have a physical one, would have to wait for it to ship here. I don't know what I'm doing with this but I'll figure it out!

If they have really unrealistic off values like me, is due to hwinfo not supporting your sensors and you michgt have to check with AIDA64, speedfan, BIOS or a physical multimeter.

Also another thing, your reset button wires may have broken the concealing and somehow touching the case which cause the reboot. To confirm this, unplug the reset button plug from the motherboard.

Thanks guys, those looks like great ideas. I will be away for the weekend but I am excited to check this when I am back.

Also, I see there is a website called digiman, looks like an indian pc repair service. They have a free diagnostic. Is it worth it to give it a shot?

Thanks again

Furmark sux for testing GPU. LOL 3Dmark presses GPU harder.

Lol, do tell...

Overclock your GPU and run furmark till it passes(high overclock as possible), then run 3Dmark 11. You will crash. Done it many times. So thats what I am telling you Mr. LOL. It is well documented furmark is not a great Stress for GPU's plus it is so dated. Furmark does not come close to maximizing power draw. I tested it against 3DMark and it is not even close on the GPU test for power draw

If you google it and read threads, many pass Furmark and crash while gaming. Furmark will allow higher core speeds and when playing CPU intensive games, boom....


http://www.overclock.net/t/951349/how-much-of-a-stress-test-is-furmark

I found it wasn't much of a stress test, more of a maximum temperature indication.
A couple years ago when i started folding I ran furmark for several hours, trying to fine tune my overclock on my gtx285s, found my max stable & went to start folding, crashed about 10 seconds after loading. Same for 3d benchmarks.

Long story short, furmark stable wasn't even close to folding/gaming stable.

http://www.overclock.net/t/387213/best-video-card-stress-test-tool/20

I found furmark useless for stability testing, great for seeing the highest temps a gpu can reach though.
Spent a good amount of time using furmark once to find the highest stable clocks, got to where I saw some artifacts after a little while running so backed it down to where it was all good for 20 minutes or so. Stable in furmark wasn't stable for anything else, folding & benchmarks would all crash within seconds.
Gputool or evga OC scanner are supposed to be OK, quick tests with something like that to get a good starting point then test with the games/benches you normally run is best.

Totally agreed. I got 985 MHz core and 1310 MHz mem, on my 6770 absolutely stable in Furmark. However, when I was playing sleeping dogs, occasionally the game was stuttering and finally froze with the famous 6xxx series lines. I had to reboot computer and decrease clocks as on my specs.

Let me clear something up. My "LOL" in my initial post was a (failed) attempt to keep things 'light' since your attitude here more than usually precedes you. I'm going to guess that is what started your "LOL" to me which I took in a similar fashion. Damn the internet! So let's start over.

Thanks for providing that information. That said, Furmark was a shitty tool for stability as soon as card makers started throttling their line to compensate for the 'power virus' that they call it. To me though, it wasn't because its a bad test and that others use more power or get the GPU hotter, but b/c it was a power virus and could potentially hurt your card as the load that was put on it is unrealistic. In fact, I have an Nvidia press deck stating not to use it for those reasons.

Thanks for providing links... though they are from the same user, so who cares there (I know its easy to find others which goes a long way in making a point). Citing the same source in different threads, doesn't help, especially since we have no clue how knowledgeable that user is in the first place. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one! :p

That said, Furmark still pegs your GPU @ 100% and was the application that gets my GPU's the hottest. So to bring this full circle, I see, now, what you are saying... It doesn't stress the CPU along with the GPU? That said, it wasn't made to be a CPU test. I was wondering about this statement:
DrDx said:
Furmark is no stress test. It does not stress GPU close to 100%. lets get that strait.
Furmark IS a GPU stress test and does stress the GPU to 100% (says 100%). Stability is a different ball game. But I understand now you are using stress and stability tests interchangeably. Perhaps elaborating a bit in that post would have helped (me) out b/c as it stands that statement left a bit to be assumed, hence my original request for clarity. ;)

For our testing, we use 3dMark11 and Unigine Heaven for power and temperatures. Unigine Heaven gets things a bit warmer on the GPU side than 11, Partly b/c its a constant load of the GPU versus 11 that has a couple of small breaks between tests. I haven't tested Furmark in years, but will check that out soon against 11 and reply back with my findings.

As a side note, have you mentioned to Wizzard that his GPU testing is all but wrong? He uses Furmark for 'maximum power draw' out of the GPU. Does Furmark land somewhere between gaming and 3d11 in your experience? Is that not really a worst case for the GPU?

Thanks!

I am thinking it's time to unplug everything and plug it all back in.
Also some places have crappy wiring. Make sure the outlet is not causing the problem.
Try another.

My friend said it's probably my psu. You guys think I should just upgrade my psu?

These Corsair CX series are really shitty I think Corsair just used their good brand name reputation to put out an inferior product. Still better than most or all of the generic PSUs that are hideously over-rated in what power they can put out and are a danger to use.

The CX PSUs really are not that bad. Im running a CX430M in my File server and its running very well.

Let me clear something up. My "LOL" in my initial post was a (failed) attempt to keep things 'light' since your attitude here more than usually precedes you. I'm going to guess that is what started your "LOL" to me which I took in a similar fashion. Damn the internet! So let's start over.

Thanks for providing that information. That said, Furmark was a shitty tool for stability as soon as card makers started throttling their line to compensate for the 'power virus' that they call it. To me though, it wasn't because its a bad test and that others use more power or get the GPU hotter, but b/c it was a power virus and could potentially hurt your card as the load that was put on it is unrealistic. In fact, I have an Nvidia press deck stating not to use it for those reasons.

Thanks for providing links... though they are from the same user, so who cares there (I know its easy to find others which goes a long way in making a point). Citing the same source in different threads, doesn't help, especially since we have no clue how knowledgeable that user is in the first place. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one! :p

That said, Furmark still pegs your GPU @ 100% and was the application that gets my GPU's the hottest. So to bring this full circle, I see, now, what you are saying... It doesn't stress the CPU along with the GPU? That said, it wasn't made to be a CPU test. I was wondering about this statement:
Furmark IS a GPU stress test and does stress the GPU to 100% (says 100%). Stability is a different ball game. But I understand now you are using stress and stability tests interchangeably. Perhaps elaborating a bit in that post would have helped (me) out b/c as it stands that statement left a bit to be assumed, hence my original request for clarity. ;)

For our testing, we use 3dMark11 and Unigine Heaven for power and temperatures. Unigine Heaven gets things a bit warmer on the GPU side than 11, Partly b/c its a constant load of the GPU versus 11 that has a couple of small breaks between tests. I haven't tested Furmark in years, but will check that out soon against 11 and reply back with my findings.

As a side note, have you mentioned to Wizzard that his GPU testing is all but wrong? He uses Furmark for 'maximum power draw' out of the GPU. Does Furmark land somewhere between gaming and 3d11 in your experience? Is that not really a worst case for the GPU?

Thanks!

Nothing personal, It is all cool. Furmark is a shitty stress test as I explained earlier. If it opasses and crashes in 3DMark11, makes it very shitty. Many others agree as someone did in this thread. I think we can close the case on Furmark as it does not load power draw period....
