My 3 month old computer has been crashing out of nowhere. For a moment, it just runs, then BAM. The whole system just shuts down on its own.
There's also a BSOD once in a while.
I think these might be the reasons why my system's crashing:
-PSU not powerful enough? I think this could be causing my system to shut down randomly when its being stressed. Maybe the cables are not properly attached to the mainboard.
-Cables connected to the hard drive could be loose, causing the BSOD?
This is my system's specs:
-Intel i5-3330
-8 GB RAM
-128 GB ADATA SSD + 500GB WD Caviar Blue
-AMD HD 7850
-MSI Z68 Motherboard
I'm using a 500W PSU from Xigmatek.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
