Hi guys,


I've bought a Radeon HD 7850 1GB, I installed the video card and downloaded the last AMD drivers but my PC just restarts when im gaming, its kind of random, it might take 5 minutes to restart or almost an hour.

System specs:

i5 3570
GA-B75M-D3H mobo
2x 4gb ram
1tb HDD
Corsair CX430 (discontinued version, 28A on 12v rail)

This rig is pretty new, and it was working when i was using the onboard video (intel 2500 graphics), but when i installed my new VGA my pc restarts when i play games, but it doesnt restart when im not playing.
Also, i've ran furmark test and my pc restarts in 2-3 minutes with my new vga, but it didnt restart when i did the same furmark test with onboard video.
Temps are fine too, 60-65C when restarted at furmark test with my vga.

I've ran memtest just in case, and everything is okay, i formatted my hdd, but it didnt solve my problem.

So, is my VGA faulty?

Thanks, guys, hope someone can help me, i dont really know what to do now.

Control Panel->Administrative tools->Event logs

This is the GPU temperature or the CPU temperature?

If it is the CPU temperature, you should also check the GPU temperature.
