This is my 1st home built systen and i want to say 1st this site has been a great tool in helping to build this so hopefully someone can help me out here.
The problem is I just recently built a system for my son to play games on and right after the loading screen and the game begins the system crashes and does a full restart on the computer.Everything is updated on my computer including drivers.Im not sure if this is hardware related especially with the power supply(The one thing i really didnt research)or software related.I realize now after reading and researching that i shouldnt have bought this psu but the price is what got me.I am going to buy another but in the mean time how do i know if this is the problem or another hardware problem or a software problem?This only occurs on start ups after the game screen finishes loading to when the game starts.Videos and Everything else works fine and doesnt cause a system crash or restart only when playing games.
Here is the list of parts and any advice would be great.Thanks
