Hi all, I just finished my first build about a week ago and I couldn't be happier with it. I am however running into an issue playing a game and while it may be a bug with the latest patch, I'm new to this and need some help diagnosing a potential problem.
Windows 8.1 64bit Professional
AMD Phenom II X4 820 CPU
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
ASUS Radeon R7 360 GPU
EVGA 8GB 1600 C9 DDR3 (4GBx2) RAM
EVGA 500W 80B PSU
My GPU has a minimum 500W power supply recommendation which is why I am asking this question. I was told it would be more than enough but now I am having my doubts. My concern stems from problems with Rome 2 Total War. The game ran on the highest settings flawlessly for almost a week with no problems whatsoever and now freezes during gameplay and I'm forced to restart. Computer boots up every time after restart with no issue, I just can't play the game. I know a lot of people have trouble with the most recent patches and I suspect that it is the game and not my system's capabilities. I have had no problems up until two days ago and the computer has only been completed for a week. I'm not overclocking anything and I am running on the ASUS optimized default settings in bios. I am planning on going and exchanging the PSU tomorrow for a larger one but some feedback to possibly save me some trial and error would be awesome! Thanks!
