Is all other hardware the same? Your power supply is also likely no good - no 800W unit will retail for 30USD. Another question...why did you purchase an 800W unit for a system based around the 960?

i completely agree with u but it was because another one of his friends told him to prob because it was a lrage Wattage i dont think they looked to much in to why you dont cheap out on PSU any way the system worked perfect before only running a AMD A8-6600k and the 8gb ram thats init i feel like the main problem could be its been wired wrong or a bad PSU assuming tis probably both

Cheaping out on a power supply is one of the worst things you can do - it can fry all of your components.

It's probably your power supply. Sumvision is known as one of the companies to completely avoid buying power supplies from. Return it and get a good EVGA, Corsair, Cooler Master, etc.

That power supply is fine. But for the upgraded system, get a better unit.
