Hello all, I was wondering if anybody can help me out with a problem. I have searched and searched and found that this would be a good place to ask for help.
After playing Arma 2 (max settings) for about 5-10mins. I get horizontal lines flickering, and a complete shutdown. I mean the whole thing just turns OFF. After a couple of seconds it tries to reboot except it either shuts off again, or it reboots with no input to the monitor. Which points directly to the video card doing something strange
It's a brand new build, so I haven't had a chance to test it with other games.
My build:
Intel i7-950 Core 3.06Ghz
Intel DX58SO Extreme Series Mobo
6GB OCZ Tri-Channel DDR3 Memory
80GB Intel X25 Internal SSD
1TB 7200 Barracuda HDD
Kingwin LZ850 850watt
Creative Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCIe
PowerColor HD 5970 PCIe x16
Reviewers said this card would work efficiently with a 650w PSU
The case is medium sized, but it has 3 fans connected to the PSU so they're running full speed all the time. Even with the case open the same thing happens.
Why are some hardware reasons that would shut off computer as it it were a power outtage?
I appreciate the help
