I have a problem which I'm pretty sure is PSU related. I have an Ultra X-Finity(stop making fun of me, the reviews looked fine).
Every now and then, my rig will suddenly freeze. I reboot using the reset button, and when Windows loads, my temps show -99c through Speedfan. So I try to shutdown with the power button, but it doesn't work. Then I shut down through Windows, and the computer shuts down, but it is still powered(fans still spinning, LEDs on, etc.) Then I have to turn the PSU off and on to get my temps to show right again. After I do this it's fine(shuts down right, and all), but this has happened three times.
What kind of danger am I in? I want to save up for a new PSU without my dad knowing that it's not working so well, because I did ask for this for Christmas. Also, he'd probably buy me one if he thought my computer was in danger, and I'd feel kinda bad about that.
Is there a chance that this thing will explode on me, or is the freezing it?
Also, occasionally when I play WoW, I get a "memory exception" error and it crashes. I'm 100% prime and memtest stable. Could this be related to the PSU?
Thanks
