Anyone can tell that my PSU is ok ? This one had pass the warranty and it is 5 years and 3 months.

Voltages seem to be within parameters, 5V isn't shown on the program but you can check it from bios. So atleast voltage regulation seems to work fine from what can be told from your pictures. Did you have some problems with the unit or just worried due to the age? Quality units can last for a long time.

Edit. If you wan't to test it a bit have HWInfo running while putting some stress on the system to see if the voltages stay stable. 12V might drop a bit under load, but aslong as it stays within parameters it is not a problem. You can check the specifications from wikipedia ATX page, scroll down almost half the page for the table.

Well. I just worried a bit about the age and my graphics card can't function well. Game crashed but after I removed the graphics card and test the games with the onboard graphics, it is not crashed. Is it power supply or graphic card ?

MNUR :

What graphics card do you have and can you give a list of the other components and what OS you are running on? It could be a driver issue something else with the graphics card, or the PSU. Hard to say yet. Has the graphics card been running louder later etc?

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

Nope. My graphic card is not running louder. It is Asus GTX 750 ti OC, Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H and I am running Windows 8.1. Hard Disk : Western Digital Blue 1TB.

Is it just one game it does this with or any game? If you haven't installed the latest graphics driver for your card you could try installing thast to see if it fixes the problem. You could also check Event Viewer logs to see if you can find error messages related to the crash (you can find event viewer from Computer Management).

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

I installed new driver but it crashed.

Samat · Mar 6, 2017

Does just the game crash or the whole system?

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

Just the game. Now I noticed an horizontal line on my monitor. For information, my graphics card is removed.

Samat · Mar 6, 2017

MNUR :

A specific game it crashes on? Do you see the line at desktop or in game or both?

MaDDD · Mar 6, 2017

I wouldn't think you would run into PSU problems with those components but, if you could tell us what PSU you are using then that would be helpful, as it may be too low power or too poor of a quality.

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

Ok. It is Cooler Master GX 650W

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

Samat :

Both.

GX series is poor quality but what is showing looks o k, run a TRIAL of AIDA64 to check the voltages or try OCCT.

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

I runned the OCCT for 7 minutes and found no error. Do I need to test it longer ? I am bit worried to test that much.

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 6, 2017

No need to test , it was more to check the readings on the rails.

Please check this. If it is not normal, I will change the power supply.

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 6, 2017

Normal as far as it looks , but the quality isn't the greatest.

MNUR · Mar 6, 2017

Yeap. I know that. For now, I will RMA the graphic card and let see whether my card is the source of the problem.

I think the Horizontal line problem is DVI cable having some problem.
Will check by buying a new DVI cable.

Thank you blackbird for replying to my post. I plan to change this power supply at August this year.

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 6, 2017

Good luck , may you resolve it quickly.

MNUR · Mar 7, 2017

Wow. It's Ryzen right now.
