Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 random pc shutdown while gaming
« on: January 29, 2015, 03:20:23 pm »
Sometimes i can play flawesly for days without a problem then suddently my pc turns itself off.
I have two of these cards 1 is on rma progres because i thought that card was faulty same as my psu.

I am kinda out of ideas here, when i run 3dmark firestrike with SLI, on ultra hd it shutdowns right before it starts, but with a single GTX 980, i dont have this problem.
My second G1 card is on rma progres.

But now i also have the problem with a single card, while playing games!!!
Is this a nvidia related issue, or is this g1 also faulty ?
Both cards never reach temps of higher then 72 celcius.
I really hope its my PSU, and not this card to, i keep rma-ing those things of it.

I orderd a Corsair AX1500i PSU, if its still shutting down i blame the gtx 980 period.
I must say with the same system specs i had before [only geforce gtx 690 was different] i did not had this problem.
I also have those shutdowns only when those cards are really stressing the game out on maximum settings, games like lord of the fallen or dying light, or the 3d mark firestike ultra benchmark.

So what i wanne know is this problem related to the mainbord and new maxxwels, or is this a psu problem or even vga problem ?

I tried everything from resetting bios, from clearing cmos and so on, but nuthing helps.
I really hope someone got a clue from what is going on here, i myself think psu is haf past dead or something, i really dont know for sure, so what do u guys think ?

Here are my system specs.

4930 @ 4.0Ghz // MSI Big Bang Xpower 2 // Vengeance LP 16 GB DDR3 1600 // Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 SLI // Enermax Platimax 1350 watt // Crucial M5 480 GB // SoundBlaster Zx //
Samsung S27A950D //Cooler Master Haf X // Windows 7 ultimate

Keep calm, sure it's PSU issue, it happened to me with 970 G1.
