Hi guys, While playing certain games, especially games that are more resource hungry than others my monitor will turn off and sometimes my fans will start spinning at max speed. I suspect there is an issue with my PSU, but I thought I'd ask you guys if you agree! My specs are as follows: CPU: i5-4670k GPU: Nvidia 780 GTX Motherboard: Asrock Z87 Extreme4 RAM: 8gb DDR-1600 Windows 7 I've done some logging with HWinfo which is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw_NVLM_VcV8QWtDMXFacmNFX0k The logging is every half second until my PC shits itself. Can you guys take a look and let me know if you see something suspect? I can't see much from the logging myself but from what I've read online it's either going to be the PSU (Which is kinda old in my system) or the GPU. Logging doesn't show that the GPU is going to high temps at any point and it doesn't seem to be having issues with voltages. Any light you can throw on this would be great, thanks!

Just to clarify- is your monitor shutting off, like the power LED turns off and you have to press the monitor's power button to turn it back on? Or would it be more accurate to say that it loses video signal and isn't displaying anything? What PSU do you have and how old is it?

Just get a new power supply and see if that fixes it, there isn't really anything we could do that would tell you if it was the power supply other than that, and a failing power supply could easily cause other symptoms.

Well, I replaced my power supply and it's still happening so likely my graphics card. Welp!
