Hi guys.I just finished building up my PC.I bought the parts one by 1.It consists of an core i5,ATI HD 5770,2gb ddr3 and a gigabyte p55 MObo.The only thing i ended up using back is the old PSU from an old desktop i had before.It's of extremely poor quality not one of those brand name ones.Its Codegen 475watt.It costs 15 US dollars...Do u guys think that it could be my problem why the system cutts off like that and reboots itself...that the PSU can't handle the load and power draw especially from the videocard and other components?I have not reached to the point of installing a Windows OS on it..I have just tried to go into the bios twice.ANd after it did that i have just parked it up and am going to order a good grade PSU on monday hopefully.Your help and info will be greatly appreciated..thank u.
