I had a thermaltake TR2 600 watts psu bought it on the same day I bought the XFX Radeon R7 260x 2gb so for about 4 to 5 months everthing was awesome then came the freezing, crashes but without the bsod the computer would quickly shut off and as if try to restart but could not get to the boot menu option.So after trying pretty much everything, software wise, I figured it was hardware
went thru the motions, used a program to explain what the event viewer error meant and said it was the gpu. Note that these crashes would be random, wether gaming or simply leaving pc idle. anyway, so i changed the psu to a corsair CX750M and gave it about 3 weeks until I decided it's fixed.good okay now I am thinking it was the thermaltake 600 watts so i check it out using a power supply tester, according to the tester everything checked out fine..I still have the R7 260x and no crashing, so my question, is it possible the gpu was asking for more power than the 500 watts or greater noted in the system requirements? or could I have missed something during my crisis? what do you think??
