Hi,
Few months ago I changed my GPU from the old R7 260x to Gtx 1060

The problem starts immediately after I changed my GPU but lately it has been a common occurrence that I wanted to ask on this forum.

Basically, whenever I was doing my work on my PC whether it was Browsing, youtube, or even gaming it will shutdown like there was no power being supplied to the PC, few seconds later the PC will turn back on and restart back into Windows.

My main suspect is my PSU, but I don't know how to diagnose a PSU so I might ask you guys here :)

My specs are listed here :
Intel I3-2120
Asrock HB1M-VG4
2x 2gb RAM
GTX 1060
Thermaltake Lite Power 480Watt PSU

If the problem lies on the PSU, I was considering to replace it with XFX TS 450W, which should be enough to power this system right ?

Thanks for your answers
 
Solution
That thermaltake would be at the top pf my suspect list. But you should check your cpu and gpu temps first as that doesn't cost anything but a little time. That 450w XFX will power those specs just fine.

I used google translate to change the language in English.
Sorry for typing errors.
Hello Friend
I have a computer with the same error as yours.
My source is also a Thermaltake 650W bought two years ago I have no other video card to test source also I am in doubt if the error comes from the source or my R9 280X which is horrible because the components have a high price in Brazil So if I change the source without it being the culprit I'll have lost a lot of money.

Is Thermaltake really that bad, though ?
I heard many good things about this brand before.

Anyway, My CPU temps are 71 Celcius at worst while gaming, at idle it hovers around 50-60 Celcius.
My GPU is really cool, around 50 Celcius at gaming.

I'll try to order that PSU tomorrow, which should arrive at Friday.
Thank you for the answers, I'll post an update when it arrived :)
