Hello
Sometimes my PC freezes specially when playing games, so looking through afterburner and gpu-z i see something weird.In gpu-z the VDDC graph fluctuates a lot and even sometimes it goes above the default voltage,which is 1175mv or 1200mv not really sure, to as high as 1469 and these high values occurs only when watching video.But in afterburner the voltage graph shows a steady voltage with not even a single jump !

So i want to go to the service center but I am not sure if I can rely on gpu-z for describing the problem.

specs:
i5 6500
2*4GB kingston RAM
XFX r9 280x black OC edition
chieftec smart series gps-650W power supply

Note: already sent gpu for service center but they said its fine, so now I am going to send whole pc

Thank you sir for the recommendation, I also wanted to do the same.But can you recommend a good psu for my setup? As the power supply is my weak point when buying pc parts, I have no idea how to pick a one beside how much watts it produce.
