underskyzx Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Most common cause of reboots are CPU/GPU overheating, it can be your PSU too. First thing to do is to check temperatures of your system, I suggest using HWInfo64. My Core2Duo overclocked works stable up to 64 C, my GPU Radeon HD5750 up to 80, these are the limit temperatures, the ideal for my setup should be CPU=50C and GPU=70. Note that my PC never rebooted without my order, at around 70 C for CPU I start getting errors and inconsistent results with stress test programs but rebooting not yet. If theres too much dust in the fans and/or the thermal compound was not applied correctly no matter how much you underclock it will get hot anyway and eventually crash the system.

vaganond27 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I cleaned my pc from dust so its not that for sure. I plugged rather correctly my gpu so it should be fine too. I remember that for the beginning when i started playing skyrim ( it was a little after release ) i was playing normally but after finished like 70% of game, skyrim started rebooting and i stopped playing. How to use this HWinfo64 to test temp's ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
