I have been having problems with running AOTS. Whether I'm playing the game or running the benchmark, less than a minute in my screen goes black and I have no way to recover the computer other than a hard power off/power on.
My system is:
I5 2500K at 4.3 on water
ASUS P8Z77 MB
32 GB G.Skil Sniper DDR3 1600
PowerColor R9 290 TurboDuo
Seasonic X650 Gold
What I have found is that if I turn the power limit to -25% in Crimson Global Overdrive, the problem goes away, so it's somehow a power issue. My temps never go above 75 on the GPU or 66 on the CPU, so that isn't the problem.
What I'm wondering is if this is a problem with my PSU under heavy load, or if it's a problem with my GPU. If it's the PSU, it's still under warranty, but how do I know that it's the problem. If it's the GPU, the same issue, how can I show that's the cause?
My system is rock solid stable except for AOTS and has passed every other test I've run on it.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
