Computer shut off while mining

[catly1]

Had it on for around 10 days then it shut off and wouldn't turn on for 5 mins
I'm mining with a 7850, 5670, and an apu. The temps were 50-60 for the cards and they're overclocked.
I'm thinking it's because i have an 500w psu
But the cpu was spiking between 60 and 80 for some reason so it maybe its also that?
What do you guys think?

not turning on for 5 min sounds like a power shortage or a shortcircuit

maybe psu fail

Sounds like the heat cutout on your PSU. Mine did this when mining and playing Skyrim at the same time on the other card !

It would need to cool down before it works again. I also had a HD fail when mine cut out.

You probably need a bigger PSU as its getting too hot.

have you tried to put the plug in the wall?

Additional info: the power led blinks when it shuts off. Pressing the power or reset button does nothing. I have to turn off the psu or unplugged it to turn it on again. Sometimes it doesn't work and for like a couple of mins it just turns on by itself.

You might be right because the other outlet has a power bar with all of it's outlet used but when it shut off everything else in that power outlet was still working.

It's directly plugged in the wall.

I love it!

One time I made a house call and I shit you not that was the problem... tower was not plugged into the wall! It does happen. lol

did you test whether or not your computron detects ultraviolet radiation?  when i nate the great'd this conundrum it allowed me power like i've never seen before which took me to mining with a 9005 over a 7850 like you

I hate it when that happens.

Sounds like a heat or psu problem

[mvrak]

If your computer has never shut off due to mining I'd be shocked.  You aren't pushing it hard enough!

agree

Not seeing any artifacts on all 3 gpus and their temps are well below 60.
None of you guys think this is a cpu problem? It spiked up to 87 while mining so I'm guessing it may somehow got to 90-100 and shut the comp off. The integrated gpu gives different temp readings than the cpu. Aren't they supposed to be the same cuz it's an apu? o.o

And it doesn't turn on now ?

[catly1]

It does but even when not mining it's been randomly restarting. It turns on right away though unlike when it shuts off from mining it takes 5 mins until the power button works again.

psu power issues

[coinerer]

maybe option of cgminer --auto-fan will help you to work with lower temperature
