However if I run a graphics intensive program for video rendering, or a game such as COD Advanced Warfare, I notice a buzzing sound from my PSU. The PSU fan also runs at full tilt making the PC quite noisy, considering it's water cooled. Also I have tried upgrading the drivers to the latest Omega drivers and when then trying to play COD AW the PC can randomly reboot.....no warning, no BSOD, just black screen and reboot.
The PSU is an iCute 850W Model AP-850AS
I've thought maybe it's time it got replaced with a new one and ordered a Seasonic P Series 1000w '80 Plus Platinum'.
Does anyone agree with my theory that the iCute PSU is not good enough and will the new PSU be a good replacement?
