I just build myself a new Pc rig and have been having problems with playing games.
Basically when I start playing them my computer screen goes black and freezes and then restarts. I've tried cleaning all the components but to no avail. I think it may be a PSU issue.

Rig;
Processor: AMD AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core
RAM: 16 GB
Power Supply: 550W
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 3072MB

It is a Branded or generic PSU ?
Remember a 7950 card has an elevated TDP of 200W. so if you have a generic PSU you will destroy all your componets.
even if branded its really tied ,so I recomend to you a good Branded 650W or 750W if posible certified PSU that will work les stressed and more confortable

Yeah its just a generic so I suppose that would be the issue. I reckon I'll just go get a nice 750W installed to be safe.
