"Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally" - George.S Patton

"There are four hundred neatly marked graves somewhere in Sicily. All because one man went to sleep on the job. But they are German graves, because we caught the bastard asleep before they did." - George.S Patton

"An Army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats, and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is pure horse shit. The bilious bastards who write that kind of stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don't know any more about real fighting under fire than they know about fucking!" - George.S Patton

"Sure, we all want to go home. We want to get this war over with. But you can't win a war lying down. The quickest way to get it over with is to get the bastards who started it. We want to get the hell over there and clean the goddamn thing up, and then get at those purple-pissing Japs. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. So keep moving. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper-hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler." - George.S Patton

Umm.. yes it very well may be. Theres more to a PSU than just wattage. I'd rather run a system off a decent 450 watt than a sketchy 800 watt psu. It is essential that the Power supply is high quality for the build to run well. Try a different power supply.

Efficiency ratings (80plus silver and so on) Don't mean a PSU is good. Just because a brand has a good reputation doesn't mean that a used unit can't have defects, try using a different power supply. Efficiency has almost nothing to do with the quality of caps and such, and it may not work optimally especially if it's a few years old.

Any PSU can be the issue if it fails, and even the best PSU can fail.
