Hi, I wondering if anyone could help b4 I spent any more money.
I was having a problem with my computer restarting whilst I was playing games, in particular Crysis. Seeming to do so at the most graphically intensive moments.
I heard there may be some conflict between my GTX275 and my asus motherboard, so I changed it to a gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR, and added 4 gig more ram as this board offered more slots.
The problem persisted, and if anything got worst. So I got myself a new graphics card (GTX285), now the problems even worst, crashes on 3dmark, which it never did b4. So Im thinking it must be the PSU? ..I was sort of thinking that from the beginning, but was reluctant to change it as every power calculator I use tells me its fine.
Ive got a 800Wpsu
q6600go @3.2 gig (also crashes when not overclocked)
gtx285
GA-EP45-UD3LR
8gig ram ddr2
3 sata drives
creative x-fi soundcard pci-e
wireless network card pci
Is that the logical next step? Is there a way I can find out definitively what the problem is?
Thanks
