need help please

Hi was using my computer as normal doing muon1 and rc5 72 all temps where in the normal range CPU (amd 6100 @ 3.9ghz) running at 50 degrees and my you ( xfx 7870 Tahiti @stock) normal temp of 89 degrees ( I know this is hot but contacted xfx and said under heavy load like bitmining normal temps can be from 70 to 95 degrees)

To cut a long story long my pc just stopped no bsod no artifacting just stright off and will not turn on again. Being a petrified that it my be my psu while it does feel a little hot but I am not sure why it has happened now seen as I have been doing the same thing for well over a month now with nothing bad happening. (psu g7 880w )

Any advice would be great

Hands down its the PSU...

A £35 880W PSU should ring alarm bells.

I suggest getting a decent brand 500W-600W PSU (about £50) and testing your system, to see if all the other bits are okay..

A cheap PSU under the stress of bitmining is a bit silly.

Never buy a cheap unbranded PSU as they almost all find it impossible to achieve the stated Wattage never mind under load and run a good clean voltage.

Get a decent branded PSU from OcUK and you should be okay. Seasonic would be a good start if your not sure what to shoot for.

+1. I just hope it has not damaged or taken out anything with it. Keep my fingers crossed for you.
