the power is CWT (Channel Well Technology 400W), maybe they are crap, but could it be happening to all 3 power? I believe the chance is very low right?

 

[jihiggs]

you used the same brand everytime? its very possible that your computer is drawing too much and killing that pos power supply. who ever heard of them?

45.5k mark? 85 dollars went a long way. So did that extra 15 dollars for cooling my video card.
