Windows 10: PC shuts down / PC Restarts / while using GeForce GTX 1050

Krea · Dec 15, 2020

Hello Everybody,

I want to write in detail about the issue that I have been facing for more than 7 months.

My old PC had below specs:
Phenom II X6 1055T
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3
4x2 = 8 GB RAM
SSD 256 GB
HDD 500 GB
450w power supply
Asus GeForce GTX 1050

On this PC I was using GTX 1050 for 2.5 years without any issues but then my PC started rebooting while playing games.
In the event viewer it used to show Event ID 41 (Kernel Power) error. There were rare/few occasions where I had reboots while the PC was Idle.

I tried for 6 more months with various solutions. Whatever I have done after this is based on various online solutions. I thought (I thought = result of googling) that this has to do with power failure so I borrowed Cooler Master 550w power supply from my friend and the issue was resolved for few days or weeks, I guess. But then again, I started facing reboots.
After that... because I was facing the issue mostly while playing the games I thought the issue must be with the graphic card, I went to the service centre to get my graphic card replaced as it was in the warranty. So, they provided me a refurbished graphic card which I started using on my pc. However, this time I still had issues but this time it was a bit different... instead of restarting my pc shuts down and GPU fan runs at full speed which creates a loud fan noise, the CPU fan keeps running at normal speed. At this stage, I need to long press the power button to shut it down fully and start it back again.

I got frustrated so I bought a whole new PC without graphic card and below are my new specifications
AMD Ryzen 5600x
Gigabyte B550M DS3H Motherboard
16 GB 3200C RAM (Single G.SKill RAM)
M.2 NVME 500 GB SSD
Cooler Master 650W power supply
Same graphic card Asus GeForce GTX 1050(the new refurbished one)

On this PC I have exactly the same issue as I had on my old PC but this time its more frequent on idle state as well. The PC just shuts down with GPU Fan running at full speed while the CPU and other fans run at normal speed. So i thought my electricity is not stable, but I have UPS which helps to regulate the current. But anyway, I went to my friend's place and I told him to use my pc at his place cause maybe he has a better stable electricity current. He kept it on idle for 12 hours, he had no reboots on my pc. So, I told him to start a game and go afk. He did so and the Pc shut down within an hour. Hence, I told him to swap the graphic cards between his pc and my pc. So, he installed his GTX 1060 on my pc and installed my GTX 1050 on his pc. He started the game on his pc and his PC shut down in roughly 1 hour while my PC was running for 1 and half hours with GTX 1060.

At this point I am unsure what to do even I still think that my graphic card is causing the issue. However, when I called Asus Service Centre, the guy is saying that if the issue is similar to earlier one then the issue is not going to be resolved with another replacement of the same graphic card.

Windows updates is another thing i am curious about. After fresh installation of windows, it installs NVDIA graphic drivers automatically, the version it provides is 432. I have tried the latest drivers from NVDIA; however, the issue is still there after the installation of latest graphic drivers.

Sorry for the long thread, I have been facing this for really long time. Looking for help.

Thanks in Advance

:)

NVIDIA Introduces GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti

We’re adding two new gaming GPUs to our award-winning lineup of NVIDIA-Pascal based GPUs — the GeForce GTX 1050, starting at $109, and the GTXD 1050 Ti, starting at $139.

Both will let you play your favorite games at a smooth 60 frames-per-second.

Built on the same Pascal architecture as the most advanced GPUs in the world, the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti let new PC gamers discover why GeForce delivers the best gaming experiences.

These GPUs are a great choice for new gamers. Here’s why:

1) The PC Is the Premier Gaming Platform

If you’re a new gamer, these two new GPUs let you be a part of the biggest story in gaming. PC gaming is thriving because it’s open, dynamic and upgradable and developers are releasing more games for the PC than any other platform.

From first person shooters to massive online battle areas, from top strategy games to simulation games, the PC offers the richest variety of gaming experiences.

2) eSports Are Bigger Than Ever

One of the biggest drivers of PC gaming is eSports, which continues to grow in popularity with a viewership of almost 300 million people in 2016 alone. This growth creates a virtuous cycle of increasing prize pools which continue to attract the world’s best talent. In fact, the $20 million prize pool for the latest DOTA 2 International is double that of both the Cricket World Cup 2016 and the 2016 Masters Golf tournament.

New content like Overwatch — which has drawn 77 million viewers in the first 2 months — continues to drive immense interest. And as more people watch eSports, more people are playing PC games.

3) Modern Games Need Modern Performance

The GPU performance required to run a modern game at 1080p and 60fps with good quality settings has tripled for modern current generation games. So if you bought a GPU 3 or 4 years ago — such as the GeForce GTX 650 — and were able to play the latest games back then, you’ll find your graphics performance coming up short in today’s games.

With the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti, you’ll be able to play today’s most popular games at a smooth 60fps, while sipping a paltry 75 watts of power.

Out of the box the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti are both blazing fast, with the GTX 1050 Ti on average 40% faster and more than 128% more power efficient than the closest competitive product at stock speeds(1), demonstrating again the prowess of our Pascal architecture and GeForce GTX lineup.

And upgrading to the GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti couldn’t be any easier. Neither need an external power connector. Yet both deliver unheard of levels of performance and power efficiency for this class of product. Just plug in the card, install our GeForce Experience software, click a button to optimize game settings and game on.

4) Powerful Hardware Requires Powerful Software

GeForce is more than just the No. 1 brand in PC gaming. There are over 100 million GeForce PC gamers today, which is far and away the most popular brand on Steam and it’s the most popular GPU in iCafes around the world. When professional gamers are competing for multimillion dollar prize pools, the brand they overwhelmingly trust is GeForce.

In addition to high performance gaming hardware, we’ve also created very powerful software. More than 300 specialized graphics engineers work closely with game developers to integrate the latest game technology into their titles. We deliver Game Ready drivers alongside the latest titles so gamers world-wide are always enjoying the best gaming experience. And our GeForce Experience application pulls it all together to provide instant driver updates, automatic game optimizations, the ability to share your favorite gaming experiences, and a host of giveaways to gamers everywhere.

GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti: Available Everywhere from Everyone

GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti custom boards will be available from NVIDIA GeForce Partners, including ASUS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, iGame, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac. NVIDIA GeForce partners represent a global network that will deliver GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti to gamers in 238 countries and territories. GTX 1050 Ti will be available on October 25, while the GTX 1050 will be available on or before November 8.

For more information and specifications on the GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti, visit http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1050" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">

(1) Game list includes BioShock Infinite, Crysis 3, Grand Theft Auto V, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Star Wars Battlefront, Witcher 3, Ashes of the Singularity, The Division, and more. All games tested at 1080p resolution. GTX 1050 was tested with NVIDIA driver version 370_00. As of October 5, 2016, AMD RX460 competitive product was tested with AMD driver version 16.8.2 across the same games and resolution.
