Hi
I was wondering if it possible to check if my PSU is providing insufficient power to my graphics card with actually purchasing a new one (PSU that is)?
I installed a GTX 770 this week and have seen a number of games crash with the message 'application has been blocked from accessing the graphics hardware.' My PSU is a Corsair CX600 and I previously had a GTX 760 (both cards made by Asus).
I had some advice on Wednesday, after which I did a clean driver install and moved the leads to the other socket on the both the PSU and card, and this seemed to have done the trick. I've no issue for two days but it has returned this morning and I'm getting increasingly frustrated as you can imagine.
The minimum recommendation for the 770 is 600w, however, could this be the issue? Also, does it matter that the PCI Express leads are 2 x 4 pin and 2 x 2 pin instead of just 2 x 6-pin?
Any advicewould be greatly appreciated.
