Thanks mate!

Hi, My system has been stable for over a year now but I haven't done much serious 3D gaming on it until recently. Whenever I run a game that uses the GPU for more than ~20 minutes, my machine reboots and I see the following message in POST: "Power supply surges detected during the previous...

Science FTW! Swapped in a different power supply (Enermax 625W this time) and FurMark has been going strong for 38 minutes now maxed out. My GPU (560 Ti) holding steady at 80 C.

Ok, it's not the GPU. I just swapped in a known working GeForce 480 GTX (from another computer that's been stable for over a year). Same symptoms: under graphics load (3DMark 11 or FurMark), the machine reboots itself. The only things I can think of are power supply and motherboard.

I think I've narrowed the problem down to my GPU. How you ask? Science! Step 0: I left the BIOS in RAID mode, but deleted all the RAID volumes. 1x500GB + 5x3TB disks. 20 minutes into Sins of a Solar Empire, machine reboots. Hmm, maybe it's the RAID controller. Step 1: Leave the BIOS in...

I just ran Memtest86+ v4.20, with all the hard disks removed, on each of my sticks individually (stick 0 in DRAM slot 0, stick 1 in DRAM slot 1, ...) and also all together. They all passed two rounds of tests, so I declare them "good". I think next test is going to be run with just one known...
