So, the past week i've been getting some weird lock ups.
It happens when i'm playing any game for 1h+ (Time varies but mostly 1 hour+ , sometimes it doesnt happen at all)
I do know amps/brans matter alot for PSU's.
As a note; I know this PSU is REALLY cutting edge for my build, I'll be buying a new system soon but i want to be sure its the PSU and not the HDD/GFX card as i'm dragging those over to the new build.
It's a CRS -MAX- output of 400W, +12V1 14 Amps, +12V2 15 amps, +5V 30Amps, -12V 0.8Amps, +3.3V 28Amps, +5 VSB 2.5Amps.
I can write the model name down if anyone cares but its upside down and i've searched for it myself and didnt get any succes :P
Detailed problem -> So basically as soon my PC is on for a long time (1+ Hour mostly) and i play a CPU+GFX intensive game liiiike... Borderlands/Dragon Age, My screens will suddenly turn black, I'll hear a sound for 2 seconds (Trough my headset, just a random sound repeating itself and making you think its stuck) and then it turns off and re-boots after ~5 seconds.
Things i've found out till now; It only happens when a game is both GFX and CPU intensive, Like CoD 4 wich where my CPU goes up to 50-70% usage runs completly fine. Tho Dragon Age/Borderlands wich my PC doesnt like THAT much where my CPU goes into the 80-90% usage it will turn off after a while.
Specs; E6750 @ 2.66Ghz 1.07V, 2GB DDR2 @ 800Mhz, Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Rev 3.3 Mobo, 8800GTS 640MB, HD403LJ Samsung 400GB HDD.
EDIT: I forgot to mention; According to HWMonitor the Volts on my +12V line will varry from 11.80 to 12.10 wich i find fairly big jumps. The rest of the lines just change by 0.01V-0.02V
