Oh....not a good one. That's a pretty bad psu. The only thing to do is to upgrade your video card's drivers and if you still have the same problem, I suggest asking one of your friend to give you their psu to test your system.I have also accidently unplugged my power supply while my comp was shutting down and ive already updated my drivers so ask someone for their psu?

If you are 100% sure the temps of your entire system , especially the CPU and video card, are in normal limit and you have the latest driver, then it's most likely that your psu can't handle your system's usage or you have a defective psu.
You can try using 3dmark to stress separately your cpu and video and check the temps separately for each and also see which one is actually crushing your system.

Well darn 512mb you better be running on ultra low and not using anything else on that graphics card.hefox said:
@TechRoxxo: Use 3dmark to test your system. This will at least clarify if is the video card low specs/defective video card or your psu.I will but i tried running borderlands at the lowest resolution possible with everything on low but it still shut down.

So 3dmark didn't crush your system. That tells us one thing: your psu and video card are ok. So only thing is to stress your CPU and if everything is still ok, looks like your video card might be too old to play those games.my cpus max temp is 50c
and CanIRunThisGame shows that i can run borderlands
