PC randomly restarts during gaming.

[Bop]

I'm using the PC in my sig... 850W Corsair PSU with an i7 @ 3.8ghz and 2x GTX285s.

During PC games(games that aren't extremely GPU intensive like the source engine games) the PC will just restart out of nowhere. Black screen... no BSOD.

I'm using a 2400W line conditioner with an APC 800VA UPS. The system is 14+ hours P95 stable. Usually this type of problem is power related.

I'm stumped... this system only draws 550W tops. Any ideas?

First, try setting the system back to stock and see if it still does it.

Agreed , when you overclock and encounter system crashes/restarts ..always back down your clock speed first before jumping to any other conculsions.
