HI,

Its just done it again playing DiRT, I unchecked the automatically restart checkbox but it still didn't give me a BSOD it just cuts off dead.

Thanks

The power supply im using is the one that came with my case.

I just set all my clock speeds back to the default/auto settings eg. q6600 @2.4GHz RAM @800Mhz and it still did exactly the same thing, cuts stright off no BSOD (with the automatically restart checkbox unchecked).????

Any ideas ?

grooverider - are you talking about my power supply ??

Thanks guys

Yeah dude I'd get a new PSU you have some decent parts there but that PSU is budget if best..its pretty poor quality. It is very poor voltages on it, I would bet that PSU is causing your instability.

How much do you want to spend maximum?

[GoOffroad]

look into corsair 520hx modular, or antec there's quite a few good ones.

Concentrate on a bigger 12v rail that - +12V/17A is pretty bad. My 602hx from corsair has tri 18a rails which is plenty. You will want something with over 26 amps combined on the 12v rail. That's what's killing you.

Try looking at Newegg for some reviews very helpfull.
