Before I get started I will post my specs here:
-Intel i7 4790k @ 3.60Ghz
-AMD Radeon R9 270x 2GB
-G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB
-ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 LGA
-PSU UNKNOWN
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
My custom built, clearly designed for gaming, will crash mid-game, and given while it is only in gaming, has become more and more frequent lately. My first monitor, an HP 2511x will turn either blue or red, and have a shutter like design across the screen, while my smaller HP LV1911 at 720p just turns a plain white. Temperatures are not an issue at all, on my GPU I hardly go over 50 degrees Celsius and with the Hyper 212 paired with the 4790k, well, I never even see above 50 degrees either. When the PC crashes it just leaves an annoying buzzing sound and I am entirely locked out of my system, and it remains that way until I hard boot.
Now, I know, the PSU unknown probably made you massage your temples, however when I was building this PC the case and PSU were given to me, and basically I am educated on every aspect of building a computer except for selecting the right PSU. However there is standard information on the side of the PSU I can relay to this thread, and I would like to know if I need to purchase a new one due to voltage shortages or not.
VOLTAGE:
AC-Input: 115/230V~
MAX DC:
+3.3V +5V
OUTPUT:
22A 16A
130W
And then under the "combined power" tab it states 480W total, if a new PSU is required could I please have recommendations for slightly heavy gaming?
If it contributes to the troubleshoot my computer, when I turn it on after shutting off, will turn on and the fans will spin for a few seconds then it will turn off, back on, back off, then boot normally. If anything sounds like a power problem to this PC noob, it's that. I appreciate any and all help, and hopefully this will not end up burning a hole in my wallet.
