Hi guys/gals

Over the Christmas period I was purchased a new graphics card – Asus GeForce 650 TI. After installing the new card my computer has be randomly restarting, with the dreaded Kernel Power Event 41 ID. It seems to restart when the computers not doing much/idle – I play Project Cars and other demanding games and when doing so its perfectly fine.
My old card was a GeForce GTX 9800 GX2 which was failing and causing the system to lock up. The card was deffo faulty and had already been repaired once before.
I’m desperately hoping the problem is down to a faulty power pack. As the power pack dose make coil noises when the computer is processing. Current PSU, Corsair TX750
Question – What power pack and wattage would you recommend??

P.S the system is not overclocked.

System Spec –

MB - Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREAM
CPU – i7-920
PSU – Corsair TX750 (current, wanting replacement)
MEM – OCZ Gold 2GB 10600 x3
GPU – Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 TI

Thanks in Advance. Tim
 
This should be more than enough to run that setup and with power consumption rumored to be dropping for the next gen of cards you should get a few years out of it.
 
The only thing that's stopping me from running to the local stockist is that the PSU I'm currently using is a Corsair TX750 which is a very good/expensive unit. would you expect this to fail?
 
I wouldn't have expected it too but at the end of the day even good PSU's can have problems, its just down to luck really.

How old is the unit?

Yep. I've had 2 Corsair PSU's pack up after a couple of years. No idea if yours is faulty though.

This should run your system OK.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Seasonic G series 550w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £76.99
Total : £85.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).



I went from corsair back to seasonic 8 months ago & not looked back.
 
Thanks Grimley. Was hoping not spend that much. I'm gonna lend a friends for a few days I think, then if it is the power pack I will reconsider my budget.
