Computer Restarts When joining the server

[iCy >=)]

Hi, My computer restart everytime I join a server and sometimes it will restart during server loading. I updated everything already and don't know what to do next :(

My specs
i5 4690k
GTX 960 2G
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI
6g Ram

The cpu/gpu/mobo are new.

PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU!

Describe exactly what you experienced. Can you hear the PC running a bit directly after you blue/black screened? What OS are you on?

If you saw a flash of a bluescreen, it might be a driver error. If it just shuts down, you should look at your power supply.

What game were you playing? Have you tried other games? Is Windows RE-installed? You can't just swap out hardware, especially if your previous hardware was from different vendors. It's either a driver problem, or hardware. If it's hardware, make sure your power supply can handle the 960. At least 450w certifcied.

Thank you for the reply

I play CSGO, it only happens when i try to join the server or after i join the server after 3 secs it will restart without warning. Just blackscreen and it restarts. I have windows 7 home 64bit and I updated evrythign for it. My PSU is 1000W

Windows re-installed? did you just keep your previous installation? Were the parts from different manifacturers in your previous build? You only play CS:GO? How can we know this isn't game specific problem? In order to find out the root of your problem, you need to eliminate all possible causes.

If you think this does not make a diference, I suggest you swap either your 960 with another GPU, and if this still didn't make any difference, apply the same test to your PSU. That way you can make sure it's not a hardware problem.


Oh and btw.. Unless you have multiple disk in raid, if you use that 1000w power supply to power a 960, I suggest you RMA it and request a PSU that's recommended for your build. Anywhere between 450 - 700 is enough. That PSU is just overkill for that cute GPU.
