I am having a problem of crashed applications mostly games(SIMS 2, and BIO-SHOCK) and complete system failure I was wondering that maybe my PSU is not putting out enough power to support what I am trying to run
The Graphics card was rated on a 350w psu but the 12v rails were 22-24 amps. I think that My psu cannot handle the load
Ok to start I have a Asus motherBoard that I recently installed
with An Amd Athlon 64 X2 3600
I also have a Gforce 7900gs graphics card(Pci express)
Other Items in the case include 3 fans 2 hard drives(IDE), dvd-r and a dvd rom(both Ide)
Now the PSU that I have is 550w.
it has 12v rails at 18amps
The Question then becomes am I looking to far into the problem or am I right in assuming that I need to look for another PSU that is rated to handle the graphics card (if I want to keep playing my games)
Thank any input will most likely help
