How often should i clean out my Computer then?
Computer crashes after 10 minutes in Call of Duty
- Thread starter rheymasterio
- Start date
Okay, so I should clean the dust out more frequently than every 2 years then...
FFS, it crashed again!
My temperatures are staying at around 60+ when gaming. How can it still be happening?! Is it pretty much conclusive that it's my Power Supply?

just curious but have you recently overclocked your system or made any changes to in bios a lot of people overclock cpu and forget to lock graphics freg to 100
I've never overclocked my CPU or made any changes to my BIOS.

What else can the issue be a result of?
It also works fine with LA Noire on Quality/Balanced.

"80 Plus" doesn't not guarantee the quality of the PSU though...Ezcool came to mind.
Also, I just looked up the spec of the Sumvision 450w PSU...it doesn't even come with native PCI-E 6pin connectors meaning it's not meant for a system with a graphic card that's higher than bus-powered. You are using molex to PCI-E adapters at the moment ain't you? Also, it has only 14A for the 12v rail (168W)...your graphic card alone at max load would consume that much power, and won't have any headroom left for powering the rest of the PC, CPU etc...and you are wondering why you keep getting crashes.
Seriously...save up and get yourself a decent PSU, rather than keep trying your luck on getting away with using a £13 generic 450W PSU for a quad-core system together with a graphic card that require two PCI-E 6pin power...

I may just save up for a decent 600w PSU. My current one works fine for LA Noire (at least as far as I've played).
Which is generally better? OCZ or Corsair?
