Solved PC is not turning on after playing Battlefield 4

[MasterChief]

I also found that there's a problem with PCI Simple communications controller has something wrong with it in device manager.

That likely would not cause issues, but best to install driver anyhow. It's to Intel's Management Engine Interface.

Max GPU temp is 73*C and max CPU is 59*C, not a temp problem.

If those temps are the max when actually playing the game, then you don't have an issue; however, if those temps are realized when you are not playing a game, them you do have a thermal issue IMHO.

I don't think it's a thermal issue since I played far cry 3, hitman absolution and battlefield 4 max settings for atleast 15-30 minutes, everything is fine until I quit to main menu or exit game. If I let pc rest for about 7 minutes it boots up absolutely fine.

Your above statement indicates a cool down (of some duration) is necessary for you rig to function properly again. This (to me) indicates a heat issue requiring a cool-down interval. Now, previously, I suggested 1 hour but you've found it works fine after 7 minutes. Good luck to you.

Yes, These are whilst gameplay.
And as for the 7 minute cool down, It just crashed and took less than a minute, sometime it needs a few times of turning on/off again before it boots.

OK, sounds like you do not have any heat issues at all. And, since you rig is more than capable IMHO, have you downloaded and applied the latest patch?

Note that I am continuing to assume you have no other issues when you are not gaming.

On more suggestion. Since your problem only occurs when playing a specific game, you might be better served to post your issue directly on that gaming forum. At this point, I think you will have a better chance of finding your solution there (if the patch doesn't work).

It crashes after playing any game (Far cry 3, la noire, hitman absolution, bf 4). I have latest gpu drivers (not beta) and latest bf4 update.

EDIT: I also have had a few crashes whilst on the desktop, only once without playing a game before.

Your issue becomes more clear the more you respond. The only common denominator NOW is your new NVIDIA card (or did I get that wrong as well). In any event, there are those that are better equipped to assist you from here as I have no experience with NVIDIA cards because I'm an ATI guy.


Good luck,

Yes, just a few weeks ago I got a nvidia gtx 780ti, here's a link if you want a look at it.
First time ordering hardware from this web so I don't know whether they given me faulty part or something.
As soon as I got the card I had the same problem but it was fixed after I installed realtek hd audio drivers (I assume that's what fixed it), hasn't done it since just now.

PC crashed again whilst I was attempting to install beta drivers, booted up in the first go with no cool down.

 

[Crazykilla]

Got the beta drivers with no success, still crashing.

Replaced gtx 780ti with old gts 450 and no probs. God damn I payed a tonne for this thing.

Can you pull NVidia board and run off just the Intel graphics 4500 or whatever it is? Does it even have HD graphics on that CPU? See if you have the same problems.

Never mind. I was posting same time you posted that you found the problem.

If the online site won't replace it maybe the manufacturer will. You have receipt?

I can see my order history on the website, got dates and prices and a invoice pdf. should I contact EVGA then?

 

[popeye]

I would try the site you bought it from first. They won't replace it?

Great, now the ****ing 8-pin cable doesn't even go in the gpu. I've sent them a message complaining about both the cable and the gpu. Waiting for an answer now.

 

[Crazykilla]

So Scan is still not replying to my complaint.
The 8-pin cable that my gpu needs connects 2x6-pins and connects as 8-pin, after hours of watching TV whilst trying to get this rubbish into my gpu with no success I got a 6+2-pin cable and put it in there instead. Will this provide sufficient power?
I'm guessing that since the day I got the gpu the 8-pin cable was never fully plugged in and I've only noticed it now. Using the 6+2-pin for about 6 hours now with no crash.
Ty for the help everyone.
