I upgraded my sons PC the other month with a 1080 (my old one as I finally managed to get a 3070ti) however i'm thinking that his current PSU is not quite up to par.
The current spec for his PC:
Gigabyte Z97X SLI mobo
i5 4690k (not OC)
SSD 500g
HDD (1tb)
16gb RAM
Corsair CV650 PSU
His previous GPU was a 1650 Super which ran perfectly fine, however now he's getting crashes whilst playing fortnite (usually happens once or twice an hour) - the PC doesn't crash just the game however we have had a few BSODs recently with the Power Kernel 41 error
I can't seem to find any specs online for the CV650 so can't tell if this PSU is ok with running a 1080 but my gut says that it's probably a bit on the cheap side and should be upgraded.
Any thoughts?
