Just tried to use OCCT Power Supply Test and just after it started, my system crashed, and the only way to use it again is to restart it.
Once booted, i get an error for BSOD.
I did check Event Viewer and here is what i've got :

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa8007eb0748, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\Minidump\060814-15537-01.dmp. Report Id: 060814-15537-01.

So, does that mean that my PSU is faulty? or it is just not for stress testing?
I just get BSOD when running OCCT test, and not with normal usage.

Agreed, will probably kill it if you keep trying with that test.
What were you doing when this issue started to happen? or did you just decide to test your PSU for some reason? :p

If everything runs fine in normal use then just don't test it, those VS/CX aren't meant for stress at all.

Well, my PC did not show any display yesterday and tried to reseat my VC, then it works. I was just curious if its my PSU since that is not the only time it did not show any display, using not only my 6870 but with my other Palit GeForce 210 (both are working with other PC without any problem).

I'm glad that it wasn't my PSU. I might just change my Mobo and Processor in the near future :)



Yes.. Yes...

Reseating the VC will make them both work, and it is always the solution when screen goes blank hahaha
