yea my 8600GT died nothing to do with psu I ordered a 7600GS tho untill I save enough for a new comp :(LouieV13

Wow, thats a expensive card for it just to die =/, Hope it wasn't caused by the power supplt :?

my 8600GT runs nicly on my 300w mATX 19amps on the +12v rail :DLouieV13

Yay, Positives are alwayz better than negatives!

Lets hope mine runs :(

JD, will check the PSU, thanks :) (But how exactly will I know if something's wrong with it?)

 Well i don't know how to identify the PSU if its in working order or not, Just go by how old it is, Did you upgrade other components without upgrading the PSU (Watts), Or maybe its just old/outdated and you may just need to buy a new one with more power.

It happened to me like 15 times in a row in a short period, starting windows/loading windows/surfing the web/playing games, It just froze at anytime, not one particular reason/time..I cleaned out the dust in the computer and it hasn't froze much. BUT, it still does freeze sometimes..

Hope i helped :p

Roar, soo pissed at myself....

I just need to know if it can run my current rig with only 20amps at 12v rail or something lol.

20 amps? wow..... that's just close to one rail on my psu, and my psu watts is smaller. Get another power supply, 600w with only 20A on the 12v rail is iffy.jfelisario

Nooooooooooooooooooo

That's something i didn't want to hear, i just ordered it last night and paid the full 55 Australian dollars, Theres no way i can buy another one which will be alot more expensive, and still knowing the crappy Besta is coming lol..I just can't. ROAR, i must try the PSU first.

Yeah man, i got it exactly correct >.>, I knew i shouldn't be cheap and buy a brand that, well is.hmm...Crap? lol

I live in australia, and yeah the Rails and Amps is 100% Correct.

Does that mean it won't run my rig fine? :(

Hmm, Well, i type it on google to see what people say about it and hmm.. heres 1 of the few lines i read about it..
