Hi all,
I am currently encountering random restarts with my pc, sometimes it will BSOD whilst gaming, other times the screen will just corrupt and restart instantly when I am in windows doing nothing stressful i.e. browsing.
I am running the following:
AMD 965 BE at 3.8GHz
4GB 1600 MHz RAM
ATI 5770 1Gb at 950/1300
2 x HDD's
1 x DVD Drive
3 X 120MM Fans
Running Win 7 64bit
My overclocks were 100% stable for a long while before this problem started occuring, I have also tried testing with no overclock and the problem is still happening. Temps are not a problem either, I have a Scythe Mugen cooler and CPU doesn't go above 52.
I am running all of the above on a Hiper Type R 480w power supply, which I have had for about 6 years - is it possible this is the cause of my problems? If so, what PSU can you recommend for under £80?
I will be looking to crossfire the 5770 eventually too.
Many thanks for your help.
