As of right now, my computer has black screened 5 times. All in the last week. I figured at first it was an issue with my GPU, until I did a bit more research. What the exact error is, is that when I load a game that takes up a bit more power than say, RIFT on ultra-low settings, my computer black screens. Everything becomes unresponsive and sometimes, it shuts off completely and turns back on, and other times it acts like the GPU broke, and black screens without shutting off the computer. I am wondering which part I need to replace, because it is worrying me a LOT as of now.

Damn. Just what I figured. I guess I'll go with a Corsair 750w and see how that goes. Thanks a lot for helping me out on this one!
