I have recently upgraded my pc and I am now experiencing random crashes when ever I load up games or anything that uses my graphics extensively.
My new components are as followed;
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor
LG Electronics 14x Internal BDXL Blu-Ray Burner Rewriter WH14NS40
I have a Western Digital 1tb hdd (the green one I think)
Corsair CW-9060001-WW Hydro Series H40 Hydro CPU Cooler
I was using a 550w but after discovering it was not powerful enough I went out and bought a Tesla 650W 230V Silent Operation PSU hoping this would solve the issue as from what I could find from calculators online I would need a 569 watt psu. This hasn't solved this issue, I did have to use a dual 6 pin to 8 pin cable to power the graphics card using a molex adapter to supply the other 6 pin and then a second the supply the remaining six pin on the graphics card. I am thinking this might have something to do with it so was thinking about getting a 6 pin to 6+2 pin to replace the dual 6 pin that way I would have only one molex to 6 pin adapater in my system powering my gpu.
I have checked the temps and everything is fine, I've even applied fresh thermal paste to be on the safe side. The error report gives me the kernal Power error 41 message that most people seem to say points towards psu. Is my powersupply not powerfull enough or is it just because of the crazy cabling not getting the power to the gpu. Please help =]
