Hello everyone,

I'm having some strange problems with my computer. Just randomly, usually during gaming, my monitor turns off and it seems like my computer shuts down but all the fans and lights are still working. I have an OCZ modular 700w PSU and it should be enough power for my setup. Could it be a faulty PSU? Specs in my sig. Thank you.

Then it's not really random. :)

Even with a better than average PSU, with those symptoms, the first thing I would suspect is the power supply.

Check drivers. Try to test the video card in another system. Try to borrow a high quality PSU of similar ratings. That's a better option than trying to test yours in a similar system.
