    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    As a conclusion, I posted a week ago regarding consistent unexpected shutdowns during racing simulators known for taxing systems and after multiple diagnostics, chipset driver updates and an OS update, we determined heat was most likely the cause of my system's failures as the 87-88c GPU...

    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    I'm gathering it would be safe to say that when running system-taxing racing simulators, don't use a micro ATX build and make sure to create more airflow than would be usually required. Hoping my hardware has not sustained any damage from the consistent high temps.

    Gotcha. Hope these shots are better.

    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    Apologies, no. Since those readings were taken with the the case open, it makes me wonder how much a larger case would do for my build's temperatures. When you say "spiking" are we looking at dangerous temps?

    I started up Assetto Corsa Competizione so these readings will reflect a short time with that heat load on my components. (that's run the hottest as of late). These were also taken with case open and desk fan running at gpu.

    Thanks @phillpower2. My case: Rosewill Line-M MicroATX. I think your idea of moving up in size is solid. Quick question before posting my data, are temps after longer idle periods useful or should I run a demanding program first?

    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    With the case open and a fan on the GPU my, GPU temps were at a consistent 85c occasionally hitting 86c. I was able to run races for about an hour and fifteen minutes without a failure and move quickly through multiple menus afterwards which has been a trigger for the shutdowns after racing...

    I am. And yes it has been running around there very consistently. I will run the airflow into the case and see what happens. Thanks.

    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    I do. But if it's coming down to blowing air onto it with a desk fan... maybe it's time for a new build? You're saying 87 sounds like an overheating GPU or possibly PSU but everything I've seen online says that's an at least safe operating temp. Not sure I understand why would that be causing...

    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    the GPU reached 87. I know thats not considered high but 87-88 has corresponded with the shutdowns so I'm just noting. I will have to clean and repaste to perform this check correct? Never done it.. If so I need to make sure I still have some handy.

    Solved During Racing Sims, Inexplicable Crashes / CMOS Reset

    The shutdown was after about 8 minutes? temps hit 87c and then the typical full fan power and black screen. "No signal source" from monitor. Upon attempted restart, 5 short beeps and full fan power. It's that every time. Not during shutdown but when I try to power back up. Side note, was on a...

    I ran FurMark and it shut down my pc. I've attached what I was published. I was unable to get a readable file from Superposition so I took a screenshot of the results. I hope they are helpful. Curious that the rFactor 2 dedicated server has caused the shut downs. I ran it once yesterday just...
