Hi there,

ECS A785GM-AD3 mobo,
AMD Phenom II x2 560 BE 3.3Ghz
PNY 4GB Ddr3 Dimm 1333 Mhz
1TB Western Digital Caviar green at 5,400rpm
Onboard video HD4200 256 (shared).
500w unknown psu brand.

Everything was great untill I got a Shappire HD Radeon 6770 1GB ddr5 -128 bits.

Was playing "I'm Alive" for less than an hour and for the first time EVER, this system got really hot and shutdown by itself.

After a couple of hours I check everything was right, plugg it and did come up again.

That was a week ago. I keep using the web, youtube, basics.

But on every demanding game the case start getting hotter so I quit to avoid any burning issues.

Do you think I need a new Corsair CX600M will allow me to play without any problem?

Thank you.

You might need to upgrade your power supply man. I've had this experience in the past where my computer was shutting itself down. I changed the power supply and it hasn't done that ever since.

What's your budget on your power supply? Remember, you don't want to cheap out on your power supply. This is just as important as having a good CPU.

Try Corsair's CX430 man. When I first started building computers, that's what I used for my PSU.
