Here's my question!
Since I build the computer last year, it regularly crashes in games, whether Devil May Cry or Need for Speed Shift. I put all Microsoft systems on this machine from XP to Windows 7 (the one I have right now), my drivers are all updated and my bios too, and yet it crashes! And the crash in good standing, frozen on the screen play, its blocked, and requires Reset! And sometimes reboot automatically after the reset!
It occurred to me the idea to end solutions I must admit, change the psu, I do not see that it might allow me to add another 4670 Crossfire in the near future. According to an estimate from Antec, I will consume 400 watts, so the EarthWatts from Sonata should survive for now....
