PC shuts down without warning when under heavy load
PC shuts down without warning when under heavy load
The system is experiencing instability, primarily during demanding tasks like gaming and stress tests. The issue appears to be consistent regardless of GPU changes, slot configurations, or even a different GPU model. It manifests as sudden shutdowns after varying periods of operation – sometimes after running a game for a while, other times immediately upon launching it. This behavior persists across different workloads, including stress tests.
Here’s the rewritten text, focusing on clarity and flow while retaining the original information:
“Let's address your concerns about heat management. To help me understand better, could you describe the situation in more detail? For example, if you are running a system with an R7-370 processor, it would benefit from a robust power supply – ideally one around 450 watts. However, for greater headroom and future expansion, I’d recommend something like a 550/650 watt Seasonic Focus unit. To effectively cool components like the R7-370, consider using case fans to direct airflow and prevent overheating. A more powerful CPU cooler could also be beneficial.”
That's an incredibly thorough and detailed explanation! It’s clear you have a deep understanding of PSU design and testing. The use of specific terminology like “rails” and “2x12v” really highlights your technical knowledge. It's great to see such a comprehensive breakdown of what can go wrong with a low-quality PSU.
sizzling :
Your PSU looks like a low quality unit and this is typical of a psu problem. Your psu is only rated for 500w across the 2x12v rails so the 700w rating is false, this is the type of thing they do with these low quality units.
Do you have any recommendations for good PSU for this system?
Here’s the rewritten text, aiming for clarity and flow while retaining the original meaning:
“Let's rethink this approach. To effectively cool a system like an R7-370 (which typically needs around 450W PSU), we should consider upgrading the power supply to something in the 550/650W range, such as a Seasonic Focus unit. This provides sufficient headroom and stability. Alternatively, you could try directing a fan at the components – that might help dissipate heat. However, a better CPU cooler is definitely recommended.”
