BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR COMMENTS, I WENT AHEAD AND USED PRIME95 AND FURMARK. YUP MY GPU UNSTABLE BECAUSE OF HAVING NO FAN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WENT AND ADDED A FAN ON THE SIDE PANEL. USING FURMARK IT WAS AT 76C FOR 2 HOURS. SO IT IS THE AIRFLOW.
[QUOTE="swehunt"][QUOTE="inmate85"] My CPU is too good with the TRUE heatsink. I dont' think it will overheat. Well as I running my Furmark, I can see the temp of my gpu slowly heating up. How long should I run it? To what good is it to have an awsome heatsink when all air it sucks has high temps? - Your heasink don't matter if it is using very hot air from the inside of your case! You should run it till the temps do not rise anymore, run it a half hour or so and keep the sidepanel on. - Because that is how you would have the PC normally anyhow? If it is unstable, that's why the temp move up so fast right? That could be the case's airflow too.
[QUOTE="swehunt"][QUOTE="inmate85"]I ran FurMark and can see my graphic slowly heating. I open my case too. Something is making my comp shutdown. When it shuts down, I can't turn it on right away. I had to wait. Then my guess something is overheating, can you explaing slowly heating? Just one 90mm intake and one 120mm exhaust migth be to little for such a settup, how much are your temps up in? As i said before run a test that load many things at the same time (prime can load the CPU and ram, furmark can be run simultanious to give a wattage peak.) check ALL temps. If you have a faliure, start test one and one thing untill you find the problem. You have to use the osrams razor (cutting of ewrything until you get down to the basic stuff) this is the proper way to find out the real problem. I think we can exclude the PSU as a likely problem, it's brand new and worked when it left the factory and you have already had the same problem with another PSU. And with the little info you got us "When it shuts down, I can't turn it on right away. I had to wait. " and "Just bought a new Corsair PSU 650w; however it is happening again" make me think the PSU isnt the real problem. "One 90mm fan and 120mm fan in the back" This make me wounder how good is the airflow from your fans are?, with a gtx260 and a i7 920 i would use better cooling. But to make sure this really is your problem you need to find out what the maximum temps are, with low airflow you really have to stress the whole PC to find out as the diffrent hardware use the same box to cool them down. The maximum tems of the CPU should be like ~70c and the maximum GPU temp should be ~85, with thoose temps (witch is to high.) you should not having a problem with the auto shutdown caused by temps. Recomended temps are alot lower but you would not have problems in thoose temps. If your temps is higher i would reaply the CPU with new termalpaste and find some better (higher airflow ) fans along with filling some spare fanplace you have on the case.

"Tripping the OCP or OVP wouldn't cause a BSOD." What are the acronyms. I have i7 920 with a TRUE heatsink with 120 fan Harddrive DVD/rom burner GTX 260 graphic with RAD-T2 GTX that I just bought with 2 fans One 90mm fan and 120mm fan in the back Brand New Corsair 650w from newegg I just bought. Scaring me with the shutdown.
I have a 360 pc controller to play game. My PSU just burned recently because of this. It just shutdown and gone. Perhaps overheating. Just bought a new Corsair PSU 650w; however it is happening again. Playing Halo 2 and Gear of War will just shut the computer down. I think the PSU is overheating, but this is a 650w. I also think the controller is taking too much power. What is your opinion?
