The problem will most likely be in one of two places.

1) The most likely culprit is the power supply. It's going bad or it's just not powerful enough to pump out enough power when you do demanding games.

2) The other possible issue is just bad power at the location the computer is plugged into. If the outlet is not providing proper power, it can also cause issues with random power downs.

I would suggest trying to plug your PC into a completely different outlet in the house - one that works off a different circuit breaker. If the problem continues, then it's most likely power supply.

Ty Yeah I think it would be a bigger chance for number 2 as my power supply is enough and its not even a year old ty m8

What is your power supply?

Being new and "enough" doesn't say much.

VS650 WATT did little bit of research about what I needed and this should definitly be enough and I was using it on much heavier games before

These can be so tough to pin down. Pretty much need to go through a process of elimination. PSU is a good place to start, but the last time I had this it turned out to be a failing GPU.

yeah I think my home power lines are kinda acting weird whenever my com reboots so im gonna test by running my Pc on another electrics group in my house so I can rule that out

You can generate a code 41 by hitting the reset switch or pulling the power cable out of the PC all it tells you is unexpected restart. Are there any other codes around the same time. If not then it is either a thermal shutdown or a power shutdown. Or it is a software problem, update everything then try enabling VSync in CSGO.

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

and what power supply (brand/model)

is anything overclocked?
how are the temps?

Potatofelix Oct 14, 2015 @ 11:26am 
that validation stuff is up there and power supply is a VS650 nothing is overclocked and how do I check temps
#11
_I_ Oct 14, 2015 @ 11:28am 
i dont see a validation url

to check temps while gaming
use hwmonitor, it logs min/max temps
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
alt+tab takes long enough for the cpu/gpu to drop 20+c

Did you try a different power outlet? Do you have another PSU to try?

Potatofelix Oct 14, 2015 @ 1:19pm 
I don't have another PSU but I am trying another power outlet ATM
