Hello THW,
This is my first ever post so forgive me if it's not in the right category.
My Problem is that my PC now crashes when I run games.
I recently upgraded my GPU (from an Nvidia GT 630 to an Nvidia GTX 970, big upgrade i know), anyway I didn't bother uninstalling any of my old drivers as I thought it was unnecessary due to both being Nvidia. I also upgraded from a 500W to a 550W just to be certain. Whenever I run any game (League of Legends and Assassins Creed) my PC just shuts down.
I've checked forums and not found anything too specific to my problem, I have reinstalled drivers but this didn't seem to change anything, the only option I seem to hear recurring is that cheap PSU's tend to not emit a constant power.
My Rig:
Intel i7 4790k @ 4.00GHz
Gigabyte GTX 970
8GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte H81M-DV2 Motherboard
Xenta 550w Power Supply
I recently updated my BIOS when i got a new processor (November) so that couldn't be an issue. I am about to buy a new PSU as I think this is the problem but if anyone has anything they can recommended I would really appreciate the help. This is my first build so my knowledge is very limited and has mostly come from forums and experience.
If I do get a new PSU, will a Corsair 650w be sufficient? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020077-UK-Builder-Series-Semi-Modular/dp/B00GN8VZ7U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424538684&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+650w
Thank you everyone!
