Hi, thanks in advance for any answers guys/gals.
I just recently purchased this card on amazon as it was time to upgrade my Radeon HD 7770.
Not more than 2 mins after any game I tried (world of warcraft, mass effect 3, bioshock infinite) loaded, the computer completely shut off (no bsod, no noise, nothing).
I then used display driver uninstaller to completely clear all ATI and Nvidia drivers off of my PC and started fresh. Same exact problem. I tried both the newest drivers and the ones that came with the card on the cd, same problem.
I googled it and it seems most point to it being a power supply issue but I wanted to ask on here and see if there is something I am missing. What i read is my power supply is cheap crap and I should replace it. It was 35 bucks but I thought 700 watts would be fine.
My specs are:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula AMD motherboard
Xion 700 watt power supply
AMD Phenom II x6 1055T processor
Secondary question, if you guys do believe it's the PSU what would you recommend for under 100 bucks?
