Since installing a Titan GPU my PC is restarting (Starcraft II problem only)

To be honest, I am not sure if I've sold it, and if I haven't, I wouldn't have a clue where it is as my flat is half in boxes due to moving next week.

I'll try and get a diagram of which cables are plugged into what on my current PSU.
 
Can you dig out the other modular cables and try switching those out for each of the connections you are currently using.

Seems like too much load on a single rail so you need to spread it out.

Ok, so the 8 pin comes straight off the PSU's bundle that goes to motherboard etc.

There were two six pin cables left, one left over from when I ran Crossfire 5850's.

I've connected the cards second supply to the red PCIe socket on the PSU, that is on the other side to the bundle cables.

So the 8 pin is from the bundle and remaining is now from the top left red socket on that pic.
 
You have got power coming from rail 1 from the 6 pin.

You have power coming from rail 3 using the 8 pin

I'm thinking it's rail 3 overloading as this is shared with the motherboard

you need to use rail 2 via another 6 pin (if the 6 pin cables have 8pin on other end)
 
I want to get one today, as I'm impatient. So at the store I'm going to, unfortunately they don't do that one. They do the CORSAIR HX1050 and the CORSAIR HX750W.

Spend a little extra on the 1050?

1050w would be ok yeah, it's up to you.

if you chose the OCZ, it's still a cracking psu

I'd get at least a 1000w version

A bit more headroom, better efficiency

Plus, you may get a second Titan :D
 
The shop in London don't have the Corsairs. I can drive to a shop 5 minutes from home and get that OCZ one, you'd say it is a good investment? Seems to get good reviews and I guess it is time for a PSU upgrade.

If you are going to where I think you are ;) get the corsair GS 800w for almost half the price, it;s a great psu and has an excellent single rail.

It was loaded to 950W with average of 85% effic

The ocz is not worth double.

I don't really want to get a non modular unit.

xfx psu's are good spec also as the internals are made by seasonic

did you test with more vccio voltage?

No, would it help?
 
I think I'm going to go and get the Corsair 1050.

I would ideally like a Seasonic but I gather Corsair's have the Seasonic internals?

Or should I be patient and order a Seasonic unit and leave SC2 for now.
