70☌ to 90☌ is considered within normal operating range for heavy load. Here is a recent thread from Intel regarding the i7-6700 CPU (You'd have to look up norms for your CPU) running under a heavy load, such as GTA-V.

I agree, but with the exception of downclocking the CPU (Which I never had to do), everything I suggested, including the downclocking the GPU, is easy to test without tearing the computer down. Without knowing if his CPU is overheating or not, we can't be sure if he is one of the unfortunate people who do have the random crashes that haven't had the cause said:Without knowing if his CPU is overheating or not, we can't be sure if he is one of the unfortunate people who do have the random crashes that haven't had the cause identified. In the end, there are still many who have the issue and none of these solution work. I've never seen anyone with an ATi have this problem. I've only ever seen people with nVidia cards have this problem.

Other games and software meant to stress the hardware such as Furmark or Intel's CPU stress test work fine. There has never been a definitive explanation or fix for it or fix from ANet. This computer is still used by my kids every day and to this day, the ONLY thing I've ever had crashing problems with on it was GW2. I started having these crashes in December of 2012 on a brand new machine. In the end, there are still many who have the issue and none of these solution said:This has been a problem with GW2 since pretty much launch.

Doing a repair on the GW2 installation has worked for some.

Lowering video graphics setting, especially setting the frame limiter to 60 or less, have helped reduce the regularity of these crashes, but doesn't completely fix it.

Doing a clean install of the graphics driver has worked for some.

Downgrading the video driver has worked for some, although this is a less than ideal solution for many reasons.

Changing windows power management settings to performance rather than balanced has worked for some.If I didn't I would typically crash within an hour. I played the entirety of HoT without a single crash as long as I remembered to downclock. Downclocking my video card (eVGA vNidia 670gtx SC) completely fixed this issue for me as well as many others, but it does not work for everyone. Downclocking any overclocked hardware.Things that have worked in the past for some:

This has been a problem with GW2 since pretty much launch. The other 3dmark benches like Firemark, API overhead test, the stress test work without any issues Other dx12 apps work fine including API overhead test Disabling ALL Systeminfo logging -> still crashes timespy

Disabling CPU and GPU info in futurenark diagnostics -> still crashes timespy Increasing cooling to insane levels -> still crashes timespy Note: no additional programs / bench / OC / tweak tools running in the backgroundĪll coolers on turbo CPU is 23 C (outside 31 C heatwave), GPU is 35C at boot atmĪLL components stay well within normal operating temps: CPU 23C boot / still crashes timespy

#Computer shuts off when running cpu stress test Pc#

Windows error logging just mentions there was an undscheduled reboot due to the PC freezing and doesn't mention specific error codes unfortunately Issue: Timespy bench is shutting down (not rebooting) my PC within test 1 or the start of test 2 Update: 3dmark actually helpoed me diagnose a faulty PSU while other benchmarks ran fine these were heavy enough to consistently point the finger at my PSU so replaced PSU -> fixed
