So I have this decent gaming computer,
Intel E8400
Nvidia Geforce 9600gt
4 GB RAM
350 watt power supply
My computer has been crashing a lot lately like my monitor says no signal randomly, the only way i could fix it was to reboot, also a bunch of Nvidia crashes have been happening when watching videos or playing games. The reason i think is because my power supply is not strong enough for my graphics card. I've been having this problem forever and I've thought about buying a new power supply to fix it all. the reason I'm buying a new power supply is because that's what i think has been causing all the problems, not the graphics card. my graphics card is the Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT and i have a 350 Watt power supply, on the Nvidia website it says that the 9600gt requires a MINIMUM of 400 watt power supply, therefore leads me into thinking it was my power supply that has been leading into my crashes and monitor losing signal.
So i just wanted to know, is my power supply the reason behind all of this? My video card doesn't have enough power to run so it crashes everything. So my investments would be into a new power supply. So please reply because i want to make sure my predictions were right and i should buy a new power supply such as this one http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
Thank you for reading, please help me.
