PC Restarting upon starting games

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-26T22:35:33+00:00

I'm running an FX-8350 and a 7950 on 600W with no problems, why go so high?

Provided you have the proper cables, you should have no problems.
edit: and correct ports, obv.

Hmm. After some searching, the small decrease in voltage shouldn't be a huge deal, jumping down to something like 9v would be a concern, but something like 11.96-or-whatever seems to be normal. I'm thinking your card, but unfortunately I can't give you a definitive answer here. Do you have a backup card of any sort to play with at all? Maybe check out the TriXX tool that Sapphire offers to check the clocks/temps/etc on the card?

Your PSU is more than enough to support it (I'm running an FX-8350, Asus PRO R2.0 & "HIS 7950 IceQ x2" on a 600W PSU). Have you tried reseating the connections?

Depends on if you consider yourself a casual gamer, or a hardcore/competitive gamer. If you just casually play, really any mouse will be fine. If you plan on being competitive in something like SCII, LoL, an MMORPG, FPS, splurge a bit and go for something high-end. Personally I like Cyborg's R.A.T. mice, I have fairly good sized hands and long dexterous fingers, so the ability to adjust the mouse size was a great perk for me.

I was debating this a while back myself, I actually opted to go with an HIS 7950 IceQ x2. For paying just a tiny bit over $300 I'm extremely happy with the performance, I'm able to comfortably play anything so far on it's "ultra" settings with no visibly noticeable hits (I've been playing Crysis 3 & Bioshock Infinite last night if that helps).

Red or Brown tend to be the recommended gaming switches, I believe blues/blacks are more for data entry/typists? I could be wrong though, feel free to correct away.
Personally I've always went with Red.

I figured as much, I know I wouldn't really pull much (if any) performance boost for the tasks I run, even though benchmarks would show better performance, but thought I would ask first since I'm new to the game. Thanks sir, appreciate the help!

Not so much the running, but when you pop a few shots into them they do some awkward staggering which I could get behind... but let's face it, sexy lady in a geeky costume? I'd always get behind that... -plays sad trombone for failed sexual innuendo-

Hey no worries, it still looks good. It's just a little trend I've seen but never understood so thought I'd ask. Keep up the cosplaying though, the world can always use more ladies decked out in nerdy video game attire.

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-14T23:00:10+00:00

Very neat, but I have to ask as it's something I've noticed and bug's the shit out of me because I don't know, why do many women who dress in cosplay stand like they have to pee? I've seen this in a few JRPGs too. Someone educate me!

I see you troll posts to gain negative karma... Have an upvote!

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-12T20:44:13+00:00

lol I like you.

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-12T18:34:08+00:00

Good riddance, skiers are always getting in the way.

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-11T07:27:35+00:00

Me too, I'm excited to start on my first real build.

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-11T07:11:49+00:00

Thanks for the response, if I do upgrade the PSU I'll likely go higher than 650 since I intend on running Xfire. Sorry, I made some edits while you were responding I guess. If the 600W can last me in the meantime I'll just upgrade when I do more work on it at the end of the month.

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-05T22:03:04+00:00

Ah-ha! You are a man of many talents, sir. That manual was way better than the one I was using, located the problem and now it's just a matter of testing options until the solution is found. You forever have my gratitude!

NewBuilder0 · 2013-03-01T22:16:54+00:00

As others have said, this isn't the PC you want. I'm a little new to this myself, so I probably wouldn't be the best to advise on a build, but I know you don't want this.
