Is My Graphics Card Damaged? or not getting enough power?

Nicholas_20 · Jan 28, 2016

So just the other day my 500w Power Supply failed and my computer shutdown. When I removed the power supply I noticed that some sort of oil was leaking out of the bottom. I replaced it with my dads 500w power supply (however it is slightly older) and my system rebooted and appeared to be working fine. This was until I tried to play games such as csgo where I noticed the fps to be significantly lower (like -200 fps lower). I also noticed that the fps would constantly jump between 20-100 fps making it unplayable.

My Pc Specs

CPU: i5 4690k
Mobo: ASUS Z97M-Plus
Ram: 8gb Corsair Vengeance
GPU: Gigabyte 7950
PSU: Thermaltake 500w Model: TT-500NL1NH-1

PS: I have ordered a new 700w PSU today as I was planning on upgrading later on in the year.

never cheap out on the heart of your pc... thermaltake is really bottom tier

you need a GOOD 550w unit

which make and model did you buy?

Do you think the PSU is causing this problem though?

you specifically said it failed, and the problem happened after you switched in another power supply?

it was working right with your old power supply correct?
