System Specs:
CPU - AMD Fx-8350 Eight-Core processor
GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7770
RAM - 8GB of RAM
OS - Windows 8.1
PSU - ALLIED AL-D500EXP
MOBO - GA-970A-D3P Gigabyte motherboard.

Past: I've had trouble with playing games due to colored lines, pixelation and more. I finally RMA'd my graphics card and received a brand new one from 'iBuyPower' since that is where my PC was built.

Now: Since I got that new graphics card everything has been awesome.. until like a week later.... Games are starting to crash again. No pixelation, no colored lines, no error messages. Just randomly freezing while the audio continues... I'm a little concerned about it. I mean, I just RMA'd my other one, now I have this one... though I don't see those signs so maybe it's another hardware issue? Some guy told me that my PSU wasn't a good one and only gives out like 300watts on a good day... Could that be it? Could having a low wattage make games crash and not respond like they do to me?

Additional Details -
I have accidentally kneed my computer chassis but it only bumped a little bit.. I don't think anything too major to do things like make my games unresponsive... right?

Change the power supply ASAP. It might blow and take everything with it.


It's a shit 350w unit...
