Posted June 4, 2014 Hi. I have been having trouble with my computer. My computer Halts/Crashes when doing something that's heavy load, for example: Rendering a video in premiere pro,Playing Battlefield 4 and 3,etc. It doesn't even say a error, it just shuts off. Please tell me what could be wrong. I was thinking it was my power supply because it's a bad make and company but I don't want to buy something if it doesn't fix it. Computer specs: MB: ASrock n68c GS-FX CPU: AMD FX-6300 RAM: Don't know the company but: 8GB (2 x 4GB) GPU: Radeon HD 7770HDD: 1 x Western Digital 500GB: Don't know what series. PSU: Dynex DX-PS500W Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 4, 2014 That PSU might be the problem. When your computer is under load, its not feeding enough power to it to keep it on I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start>Control panel>Admin tools>Event Viewer let it load up will take a little bit to load, in the middle you will see a column that says event type anything causing a crash to power off will be critical if it was caused by the psu you will have one under error something like kernel power. 5820k@3.8GHz| Corsair H100i |Gigabyte x99 SLI | Corsair 16GB | EVGA 780Ti SC ACX SLI x2 |240GB SSD120GB SSD 512GB SSD 2TB HDD | 3x ASUS VN247H 24" ( nVidia Surround) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 4, 2014 All my Criticals in the event viewer are all Kernel power.

Posted June 4, 2014 Thank you for telling me that. So now I know what is wrong with my computer. Obviously do the usual check everything is fully connected test another psu or use a multimeter with the current one if you are good with electricity i can explain how to dupe it to power on, with a really bad psu the rails should be out of ATX specs without a load. 5820k@3.8GHz| Corsair H100i |Gigabyte x99 SLI | Corsair 16GB | EVGA 780Ti SC ACX SLI x2 |240GB SSD120GB SSD 512GB SSD 2TB HDD | 3x ASUS VN247H 24" ( nVidia Surround) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
