Unhappy Time to get a new PSU?

BSOD-ing in WoW and short hangs (by this I mean I'm moving my mouse across the screen and everything will stop for a split second then start again)
Everything is at stock clocks and stock voltages in my machine, specs are in my sig rig.
Any help or PSU recommendations will be greatly appreciated

If it's a PSU problem the computer will do a hard shut down like if you took the power plug out of it. Happened to me plenty of times on an old crappy 400watt PSU.

Could be your PSU but Id lean towards your GPU drivers, drivers in general, or RAM..

try running memtest or switching out your RAM if possible.

If you do really want a new PSU, try the Corsair 650TX

When moving my mouse rapidly up and down over this my icon appears large and distorted for a very brief time I'll try and get a picture of it.

Happened once or twice to me on my old motherboard + cpu (on this same PSU) although my new parts use less power. Guess it still manages to play a part in my judgement of cause.

I would check the rails with a multimeter to be sure.

Will attempt memtest after Intel burn test.


Thanks guys for the rapid responses

Didn't crash during Intel burn test and residual(norm) was all okay. Going to try ATItool. Don't think there's a multimeter in the house, will probably have to borrow one from work.

What about your temps?

GPU, system, CPU.....

Could be a factor here.

I still think its something with your drivers or RAM, and really temps could be an issue.
