But i dont seem to have problems with overheating. My temps are very good considering that the weather here is like 35 degrees hot.
And i didnt overtight the watercooler i am very sure about that.
What exactly was your problem? Only bsods or did you had any symptoms when gaming?

It looks ok but i've said that dozens of times. I've unistalled ccc but again had a bsod after that.2-3 days later :)
The only thing possible left is maybe overheating and most probably if it does its the motherboard. I wish someone knew for sure what is that temp reading i have for the AUX TIN.
Thats the only thing left unexplored.

The physical pressure on the card can cause instability or no video output at all (my original problem was the latter). Just temporarily make sure that the screws (or whatever) are only loosely holding it on so you can rule it out of the possible problems. It could very well be too much pressure causing the problem though; There's a reason they use spring loaded screws on stock coolers!

I will try and loose on the screws just a bit and see although i know how these things work but sometimes you never know.
Any advise is welcome m8 tnx. I will update if i see any difference

Anything in the event logs that precede the switch off?

In the absence of crash dump files the only thing I can think of are:
  • I have never used water cooling. But if there is water around electricity there is the possibility that a leak or condensation will trip a instant shut off. i.e short to ground.
  • I imagine that the power supply is new, but perhaps it is being overloaded and shutting down due to excessive current being drawn?

What was the last couple hardware changes that you made?

All are valid but there's no water leakage anywhere and the psu is 1000watts platinum and my wall meter shows 330w max draw!!
My last change was the graphics card. I've noticed the pc gets very hot when it does that but all monitoring programs i have like hwmonitor shows all temps ok, more than ok actually.
I think that possible reasons are:
1. The temps sensors have malfunction.
2. Something gets hot on the motherboard
Next thing i'll do is to put one fan near the intake of the graphics card, because i still have the original gpu fan for cooling the vrm section as well the watercooler, and see what happens. Maybe thats where the problem is.

With the amount of cooling that graphics card has I doubt that it is overheating, the VRAM doesn't even need a fan for cooling at all on most GPU's, mine doesn't! But are you sure that your water cooler is making good contact with the die and there is some thermal compound applied (thin layer)?
If you really think it's overheating in some way but the major components are cool enough then perhaps it is, as already mentioned, the PSU. It seems a likely reason for the sudden black-outs tbh. If you've got another PSU to try for a while then perhaps I'd give that a go.

Also, if you think something is overheating on the Motherboard then check the chipset heatsink is clipped/screwed in properly. If you're not already, use HWiNFO to monitor Motherboard temperature.

Mate,
Are you logging all the temps?
If your not I suggest that you do. That way if it does magically power off, you will have the logs of the temperatures and be able to see what was the recorded temp prior to the power off event.

I've just downloaded hwinfo. It offers much more analysis than hwmonitor. There's a button below that says logging start thats where you log the temps? This is very usefull to be able to log the temps.
kw123 - the psu is the one i was thinking also but again its new, clean.power efficient and antec is like seasonic in quality but sometimes you never know. I have also a coolemaster 650w one laying around if the problem persists i will give it a try.

Yes, it is very good now. I stopped using it a long time ago, but now it looks good.

Shintaro what do you make of these errors again? I also attached hwinfo logs.
This is the same error as before? The one that only states an unknown error with the graphics card and nothing else?
Thanks m8

I have had a look at one of the crash dump files and the crash is an ATI generated crash. Meaning that the driver crashed the computer, nothing to do with Windows. Hence the unknown bugcheck code:

The data that you provided from the logs seems interesting.
What were you doing at the time?
At the end of the logs, is that where the computer crashed or powered off?

BTW there is a logviewer HERE called "Generic Log Viewer" that can read the CVS data that you provided.

I did notice that your Hard Drive is getting to 55 degrees Celsius before the logs end.
