Hello,
I am pretty new to designing and learning the inside of computers.
Right now I am running the following:
CyberPowerPC-
AMD FX 8320 Eight-Core Processor 3.50GHz
8 GBs of Ram
Windows 8
AMD Radeon R7 200 Series GPU
350w PSU
I used to own an Alienware x51 stock, nothing added besides my own ram sticks I bought.
So I was comparing the two of these machines and I found out while playing League of Legends I get more FPS on my Alienware then I do my Cyberpower. I Switched out my GPU ( Nvidia 545 from my Alienware ) with a help from my friend got it setup and everything. I noticed that my FPS was around 220 where it should have been and was all fine and dandy. Then came my problem..
I started to witness in the middle of League games that my computer would like atomically restart. It wouldn't shut down completely, the lights on the side never actually turned off, but it rebooted basically.. I was told that my PSU probably couldn't handle the Nvidia GeForce 545 GPU I put inside on it. Also, the wire that attached to the wall was semi-loose so I plugged it back in all the way, i'm not sure if thats what was causing it to restart or not.
I then went out to put everything back to where they belonged and now I am dealing with another problem.. It seems like for some reason since I put the Radeon R7 200 Series back into my computer I am getting lower FPS then before..
Now my question really is, with everything I listed above would my 350w be good with everything and the Nvidia GeForce, or do you think it was simply the fact the wall pluggin was a little lose and when my foot hit it, it restarted..? I don't want to harm my computer by it randomly closing.. Thanks in advance for all the help or answers I may receive.
