I'd bet its an airflow issue then. I'de close it up and play a game or two and see.. 3:1 it reboots.
Where is your PSU? Is it top or bottom mounted? You could atleast toss an intake on the front of the case. Although with your rooms ambient being around 80 (I think this is what you said)...
Uhm, I think a day or two of gaming etc would be a decent indicator. If you really wanted to shove it you could run furmark and prime at the same time, but thats a bit of overkill. For your issues there's a few that test all of em, but gaming is about the same. Do you have the stock fan or an...
Uhm thats kinda high especially with your case open and a fan going. It is with in range, but I'd bet it cranks up substantially higher once the case is closed and locked. I'd try putting the system through some serious rounds open and see what happens. Have you had it crash when open yet?
The fear with an older PSU isn't so much the wattage as it may start going and give inconsistent wattage.
If your side fan is blowing in, depending on your CPU fan you could be negating a bit of airflow there... If your topping at 55 under load with out an OC I wouldn't worry about it though...
Did you check to make sure you aren't arcing or anything? Also are all the fans plugged in and running? Honestly, its a pain but... Iif it all started with the new case the problem could lie in there. You could try running it out of the case entirely if your careful and see if it's an issue...
I would start by running memtest86. Thats usually not a ram issue, but it's easier than BSOD for five days just to have to do it anyway.
If I were you I'd try it in safe mode. If still no go open that puppy out and remove EVERYTHING non-essential, go to one ram stick etc. If it is a driver...
Uhm, generally if it's running OK on Prime for an hour or even half that your CPU temp should be ok. There's a few decent ones for your video card too, I ussually use furmark.. (especially if its only kicked when playing video games).
And Devil is right, most RAM issues will blue screen ya...
Oh yeah, it's a full 1080p HD monitor so I'm sure its in the right resolution.
I'm gonna roll back my drivers and see what happens.. I'm not sure why that wasn't the first thing I thought to try. It's just the first time I've seen this.
**********
Ok, rolling back the drivers did it.. Oh...
Is it only rebooting when playing games? It could be an issue with video cards temp (again air flow). What case do you have or if an older case how have you set up your fans.
How did you test it? Just keeping the system on idling or did you run some sort of a benchmark?
Also what type of...
The GPU is a GTX 260 core 216 newest drivers. The monitor is an asus VW246H. I'm starting to lean towards it being the GPU drivers, as I'm betting I had atleast one or two drops back in terms of the driver updates and when I reinstalled windows I got the newest ones.
I realize I'm jumping in here late but... What is your system build? Do you have it OC'd at all? If your having the issues with the case closed but not with it open and fanned you may just have an air issue in your case. Even with a high end cooler, bad airflow can crush a systems temps. I'd...
So I recently reinstalled my windows 7 and since then I've noticed this really odd text problem... The best way I can explain it is that some letters will be missing pixels. Not the screen but the actual text. Its not all of the words, and some times they are fine until I highlight them then...
