Hi ya'll!
I've been having some trouble with my computer since installing an ssd.
I'll run through the steps I've taken up until now:
First if all, there was no sata ports free on my motherboard, and they were only sata II. So I bought a PCI express card with some sata III ports on, and installed the ssd onto it.
I migrated windows onto it and it all seemed to go smoothly. During playing a game for a couple hours, the computer just powered off and wouldn't run back on. Assuming it was the psu I bought and installed another 450w psu.
Same symptoms occurred, but the psu wasn't kaput, and would reboot.
I then tried a 650w psu, same problem would occur. Powering of while playing the same game.
Took the PCI card out, and made space to plug the ssd straight into the motherboard. Same issue. The computer seems fine outside of putting it through anything too graphically demanding.
I'm running out of ideas what to try, and would really really appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance guys.
