    Hi all,

    First time poster looking to get some help, ive looked at previous similiar threads about this issue. So it's either overheating or a psu issue. Theres HWINFO Log, and GPU-Z Log attached. Some help with figuring out which it is would be great, hopefully its the PSU rather then card if something has to be shot.

    EDIT: I dont have a multimeter so no for sure way to figure out which it is.



    Thanks, Nate.

    Welcome to PCHF,
    GPU temps don't seem to be a problem and the load doesn't even cross ~50%.

    Please download the latest version of CPU-Z from here:

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_cpuz/

    Open up CPU-Z. Click on the 'About' tab. Under tools section, click on 'Save Report (.TXT)'.

    This will save a text file on your machine. Upload the text file in your next post.

    Voltages and CPU temps are fine too.

    What is your power supply rating/make/model? And how old is it?

    Disable XMP profile for the RAM in the BIOS.

    Any BIOS updates available for your motherboard? And does the date reset now?
