Is my 450 watt power supply overloaded

[Creeper1372677]

Hello, I was wondering if my 450 watt power supply is being overloaded.  I am asking this because sometimes under load, my system crashes, sometimes showing an error before rebooting.

 

Specs:

Antec 450 watt psu (im not sure, but i think it's 80%)

AMD FX black edition 6300 6 cores oc'd from 3.5 GHz stock to about 4 GHz

Mobo: Asus M5 A97 R 2.0

GPU: nvidia Geforce GT 610

HDD: WD blue 1 TB

ODD: Genric Cd/DVD drive

Pcie/pci devices: Rosewill pcie firewire card, Sound blaster audigy fx pcie audio card,  Netis Pci wifi adapter.

Cooling: four chassie fans, cpu fan, upgraded gpu fan.

other notes: I like to keep my files on a usb 3 wd elements 750 GB external drive, so that is plugged in.  only running one monitor at most times,  Ps3 eye camera is used for a usb webcam.  also using usb keyboard and usb mouse.

 

 

Crashes do not occour when playing Mineraft or doing gpu based things, only when doing cpu things such as rendering video.  my main internet connection is an ethernet cable.  Thanks in advance for the help.

no, i dont think so since you have such a low end GPU

[don_svetlio]

you are barely using 200W

Which antes power supply is it?

Probably a bad overclock? Maybe try adding some voltage to the CPU.

System crashes when overclocking mean that the overclock is not stable.

I guess i am a plain noob at overclocking, I'll go look other places on this awesome site for an overclocking guide.

I mean you overclocked by only 500mhz, just add up some voltage and test if it crashes, use AIDA64 stability test for example.

I'm guessing it's either your OC on the cpu or if your running the computer on a single module of ram

I have 8 gigs of ram, 1 4 gb stick and 2 2gb sticks.

I think i have it solved, i reduced the oc to 3.6 GHz and if the stability test i am running is stable, I will increase the oc as fare as i can with good temps.
