Alert

Msi GTX 760 keep having blackouts

Jan 24, 2015 6:08AM PST

Hey!

I have recently bought and built a new computer, but i have one big problem...
My graphics card keeps having blackouts when playing any kind of game where it has to use it's gpu(mostly 3D-platform games). I am suspecting the power supply to not delivering enough power, but from what this site(http://www.extreme.o...latorlite.js...) is saying, my power supply should be okay.

My specs are:
Intel i7 4790k (not overclocked)
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
Asus Z97-a motherboard
Msi GeForce gtx 760 Twin Frozr 2GB (not overclocked)
2x8Gb of Crucial Ballistix Tactical DDR3 ram
Corsair CX500w power supply
Corsair obsidian 450d (with it's original fans)
Samsung 840 Evo SSD
A Toshiba DT01ACA 2Tb , 7200rpm hard drive

And I am running Microsoft Windows 8.1 as the operating system

I hope to hear from somone soon Happy
