Computer switching off randomly

[Soulmagika]

So you guys said i wouldn't need any more power for my HD4670 with my current PSU. Today, every time i turn my pc on about 5 minutes later it switches itself off, thats the PSU right?

Solutions please.

Errr... A little more info please? I WAS told here that my psu would be enough, and it obviously isn't. Just a ploy to get me to buy?

Huh? I went back through your other threads... I saw one person telling you that the PSU would be OK, and dozens saying that you should get a new one. Why would we try and con you into buying something? We're not the shop. We're people who help out on the forums in our free time, and frankly your attitude towards people who are trying to solve your problems is a little irritating.

Solution: get a branded 400W+ PSU. The OCZ 500W should be fine.

Apolgies, but i wanted a HD4850 and couldnt because it requires a new one, but they said my one would be fine for a HD4670. This isn't the point anymore i'd like to get a new one anywho to be safe

Is this ok?

PSU model would be nice.

Uhh i'm not sure, i got it with the pc i bought from a popular shop and i don't think its one you can buy seperatly.

Wow..time for a new one

The OCZ PSU you've selected should work nicely.

When it comes to PSUs, I've found it's best to keep a very simple policy: if you're not sure, it's not enough. One can never be too careful and a risky PSU means that if it goes then it could potentially take any of, or all of, the other components with it. You can be pretty certain that a branded 500w will serve your needs in this case (as said above, 400+ really)

What is actually my one? I purchased a really bad premade pc a few months ago with all this crap in, £630, i sure learnt from that but im stuck with this for a couple more years
