So I just bought a 7970 for mining, and everything was fine. The temps seemed to be pretty stable and all was well. Then, It just shut off. The whole system shut down instantly. I figured it was overheated, but temp probes showed temps to be 55 c. I went ahead and waited for everything to cool off. Upon pressing the power button, it would turn on for half a second and instantly shut off. I thought I fried my motherboard. I took the whole thing apart, and checked out different components. Everything seemed fine. I turned it back on and it worked fine.
I don't want this happening again, because next time it might actually fry it. Here are my specs:
msi 890fxa - gd70 mobo
phenom II x4 955 cpu
nvidia 8800 gts crappy gpu
dual - x sapphire hd radeon 7970 gpu
750 watt bronze evga psu
Why do you think this happened?
