PSU problems for a friend

[sketchytom]

Hi guys yet another question i bet you getting sick of me already

my mate has my old a6 3500 and asus f1a55 m le

the problem is he tried overclocking and just gets loads of blue screens. he is trying to overclock where it was running stable for me.

then all of a sudden he the surge protection thing kick in that asus boards have.

so im guessing this means his psu is scrap? would his psu be the cause for blue screens aswell?

its some 500w heap of ++++ that came with a cit case i did say it must be **** if my shoddy qtec worked fine with it

First things first, get him away from the cheap nasty PSU and steer him towards something of a known quality.

Is he using the Llanos GFX core or is he using a discrete GFX card?so needs a PSU with a bit more oommph than say a Corsair CX430/XFX 450W

change the psu straight away

Another PSU vote. Cheap PSU are junk. Convince him to get a good PSU.
