Hi

I wanted to give an update on my situation with Crysis 3 and the problem I had with it restarting my system(hard crash).

My prev system spec:(hard crash)
Asus Maximus V Formula (watercooled)
I7 3770k@4.6Ghz (watercooled)
1xSDD
2xscsi sata HDD(watercooled)
GTX690
Gigabyte Oding GT 800Watts
4x4GB Viper 2133Mhz(fan cooled)
+5xfcasefans(incl radiator)
Nvidia 3d Vision 2 kit.
Asus VG278HE 3d screen
Razor Arctosa keyboard
Razor Naga Mouse.
waterpump
Thats about it. Other then the LCD screen ,thats what draws power from my system.



Bought:
Corsair AX1200i watts psu.

This solved everything.. Everything is now running smooth on ultra settings with 3D glasses on.

So my 800Watts was not enough to power the 12 volt line.(me guessing that it was not a singel rail it had 4= less amps per rail and vulnerable for high peaks of power)


So if you have these kinds of problems, check how many rails your PSU have- go for 1 singel rail PSU.

the thing that happen to my PSU was that my system under various loads couldn't handle the Amps that was needed, making my PSU go into protection mode and shut off my system.


Hope this helps.
