Hello good afternoon
Since a couple of days ago, I bought a new hard drive (Toshiba DT01ACA100), I installed Windows 8.1 with all its drivers. After a couple of days, when playing games like Fallout 4 or Assasins creed Syndicate, after a few minutes of playing the PC restarts suddenly. This happens to me many times even without playing (without load),
Before you say it, IT'S NOT A MATTER of temperature.IDE.
Processor. 37,35,35,37,37
HD. 33
Graphics card. 35Full
Processor. Approximately around 65.
HD. 40
Graphics card. 55.Everything in degrees of course,
My components are:
Motherboard. Asus H97M-E
Processor. I5 4690
RAM memory: One Kingston 8gb DDr3 1600 Hyper Fury module
Graphics card. GTX 750 Ti
Power supply. TOOQ 700W.
Case: Nox Coolbay SX
CPU cooling. The stock one.
The case has. One fan in the front, another in the top. On the side of the case it has another, and on the back another one.I think I've told you all the necessary information.
Thank you very much for your trouble.
Good afternoonWhat I haven't mentioned is that all this equipment was bought over Christmas except for the graphics card.

The first thing is to run several tests:
- Hard drive with a program like CrystalDiskInfo.
- Memory with Memtest.
- Uninstall antivirus and other programs to see how it reacts.
- Check for viruses and other bugs with your current antivirus and something like Malwarebytes.
One thing I don't like about your setup is the font, brands like Tooq, Kloner, L-Link and other cheap ones are... bad, very bad.

The thing is that my purchasing power doesn't allow me to spend 100€ on a good power supply with 80 plus, that's why I chose that power supply.
Besides, the hard drive is not even a week old -
You don't need to spend 100€, a Corsair of just over 50€ would have been enough for you, even a Tacens of just over 30€, because with that configuration with 450 or 500w you are always more than enough as long as it is decent.
If you blindly trust your components without doing tests I can't help you.
Good luck.

Before I had a tacens mars gaming of 700W, could I try it?
-
Yes, and it gives me more confidence at least. -
If everything is fine, I would bet on the drivers issue… some kind of incompatibility or else something that is not the sectors is wrong on the hard drive... from the controller to a SATA cable that has the connector wrong.

Check the system events, to see if the error appears there, so you can rule it out.
Strange thing that happened to my work computer, that by setting the default values in the bios, and changing the ram slot it no longer does it. Nonsense, but try that too. Eight years of trouble-free operation and 15 days ago it started doing it. -
I would try the power supply first.
If you have the money for an i5 I think you should make the effort to go for something with a bit of quality like the Antec VPF 550W for about 65€ or at least the VP which costs the same as your 700W Tacens but you get 500W that are decent, you still have enough for a mid-range graphics card (considering the 750 as mid-low).
If it still fails with the other one test and fight with software or BIOS configs, in case of being hard I would almost point to the card rather than the disk.
