So next to me, I have a desktop that I use when a friend comes over to play. Here are the specs:
HAF X
Seasonic 1250W Gold X series
HP ZR30W 2560x1600
2x Sapphire Fury
Gigabyte x79 UP4
Intel 4930k ES under CM Hyper 212 Evo @ stock
4x4GB DDR3 2133 Patriot Viper
2SSD, 2HDD
Windows 10 Pro
Ok, so now that that is out of the way, here is the issue: shortly after starting a game with CFX enabled, the computer will tend to hard shutoff. My friend and I suspect PSU possibly. The weird thing is that it mines ETH or equihash fine under both Xubuntu and windows, with both cards. I am even running OCCT PSU test overnight now, and there does not seem to be any issues. Temps are fine, about 60C on the CPU and 70 C on the cards.
Could there be something else at fault other than PSU such as motherboard, or maybe PCIE controller (on the CPU I believe)? I know games in CFX can require a lot of bandwidth on PCIE, where as mining does not.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting? Or should I just try an RMA to seasonic?
