    I have question regarding my AC adapter or thermal heat related issue. Whenever I benchmark my gpu (nvidia gtx 680M) with 3dmark 2013 and using afterburner (tweaking to high core clocks and memory clock settings), it loads but after loading my notebook shuts down... Is my PSU lacking in power? Or related to heat issue? That's why it shuts down. I am using a 240 watts ac adapter, vbios mod by svl7 (1.025v), ec firmware mod and unlock bios. Its not heat related because I just cleaned my gpu/cpu heatsink fan and put a xigmatek PTI-G4512 thermal paste.


    I did also run a memtest to check if its a faulty memory but did 4 passes with no issue.


    I am opting to buy a 330watts dell adapter if my 240watts psu is lacking power now as I saw in one of the post of meaker in another forum.

    Can anyone help? thanks

    240W should have more than enough.
    Try Furmark to put load onto the GPU and monitor where the temperature is going.
    What kind of EC mod do you have?
