Posted December 22, 2016 I need some help guys... So I just bought a new CPU Cooler and a new GPU, the Cryorig h7 and a GTX 970. The PC works absolutely fine while not gaming and stuff. These last 2 nights, I've tried to play The Witcher 3 but, both times, when I am about 10 mins into playing my PC just randomly turns off... When I try to turn it back on,all of the fans spin and everything seems fine but, it wont display anything and the keyboard and the mouse wont turn on. Then, I just go to sleep and the next day I can actually turn it back on. Is my PSU faulty??? *I tested the ram, and it's not faulty. *My PSU is a 500W old EVGA -------- CPU: FX 6300 CPU COOLER: Cryorig H7 GPU: GTX 970 EVGA CASE: NZXT S340 PSU: Some old EVGA 500w HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1 TB, 7200 rpm SSD: Sandisk SSD Plus 240 GB MOBO: Asus m5a78l-m/usb3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 23, 2016 I'm running a 105w (power limited) OC'd 4670k, a couple drives, an AIO cooler, and a more power hungry card off a Seasonic 520w. You should be fine, but upgrade to a EVGA G2 or SeaSonic PSU in the future. idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 23, 2016 Cooler Master has a wattage calculator that you can google and use to calculate your estimated wattage use. Then add 50w for safety, and then think if you want to ever overclock and then add 50-100w if you do. Look below my message, and you'll see my specs which I run off a Corsair CX550M 550W PSU, so you're probably good with the one you've got right now The dream: Spoiler Project Malachite (in progress): CPU: i7 7700k.

It's not about efficiency, the Corsair Vengeance PSUs (EU only) are better than the EVGA GS and GQ and even probably the G2 when it comes to voltage stability and durability, but only 80+ Bronze (cleared Silver in tests though).

A couple other reasons it might be: - A bad driver: uninstall it completely using display driver uninstaller and reinstall an older version like 362.00 which is known to have no issues. - GPU clocking down: use a program like MSI afterburner to monitor its clock speeds and temperatures.

Posted December 23, 2016 I think you should go for OUTERVISION EXTREME POWER CALCULATOR as it shows the 3.3V & 5V combined wattage and amps along with 12V wattage and power supply according to me if on budget Corsair VS450 or CX500M If you have sufficient money you should go for CORSAIR RM550 or RM550x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You post this exact same drivel on every single semi-relevant post. The Outervision calculator is garbage, the VS is garbage, the CX500M is a last-gen PSU replaced by the much superior CX550M, the RM550 is an older unit outclasses by it's own baby brother, the RMx, and the RMx isn't, as I have said so many times before, not the best value for money. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
