Hello,

I am a light gamer who owns a HP Envy Desktop with an AMD A10-8750 APU and a R7 240 Graphics Card, recently I've found my desktop's game performance to be quite inconsistent, so I opened the case to check if overheating was the problem, and during examination, I noticed my PSU's max power to be quite low (180W), I am wondering if that is why my system is underperforming?

I also recall having read somewhere that to power a R7 240, at least a 350 W PSU is required, so I'm curious as to how my current system is working right now?

 
Solution
If it was power issues the performance would be the last concern (it would simply randomly restart).

The issue is likely a combination of crappy CPU and just as bad GPU. Not much you can do about it without a full upgrade
