Computer restarts on "some" games

loud and clear :D I'll sort some ram and get it up to 8gb (on a bit of a budget)
I was also thinking of upping the PSU to a 600w incase the 2 extra fans and the CPU watercooler has tipped it over the amount of juice it needs

Remember and make sure its either the same spec as your 4gb stick, or may need to get 2x4gb matched sticks.

OK so new 600w power supply arrived today and along with another 4gb ram (exactly the same as the other)
Power going to MB as the lights on but when I press the on button it flashes for a second and I see a little... Dimming of the rgb fans for a split second looking like they want to spin but nothing... Not turning on now :( any suggestions?


###EDIT### so I'd left one sata cable in there since the psu was semi modular and it was nice and tidy (cable tied away) but I decided to change it and then suddenly my computer sprang to life on the next power on, ran stress test successfully watched the cpu load and the gpu load stay at 100% and gpu temp around 70c no crashes :) played the game it usually restarts during on "extreme" graphics and managed to get a whole game done without any problems :) don't want to jump the gun but this issue may be sorted now!

Minted dude, glad to hear that, yeah always better to check and double check connections when changing out stuff, glad its working now and you can enjoy your gaming.
 
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but if that picture in the first post is you new system, then you have the ram in the wrong slot, you've got it in slot 1, move it to slot 2, slots 2 and 4 are to be used first, and this does cause the system to be unstable, im surprised it even posted.
