Hi, i was playing a game for about 20 minutes until my computer completely shut down. I tried turning it on directly afterwards and it wouldn't even post. I had to wait a good 15 min until i could actually turn it back on. I have no idea what the problem is but i suspect it has to do with my new graphics card and my psu. I replaced my radeon hd 6970 with a gtx 580. With my old card this never happened even when gaming for a long time. I was playing just cause 2.
Here are my specs:
-mobo: ASUS M4A88T T V- EVO
-Graphics card: GTX 580
-PSU xigmatek 600W 80 plus bronze certified
-hdd: 500GB Hitachi 7200rpm and an external WD 3TB 7200rpm
-pci wireless network card
-processor: AMD Phenom II 1100T x6
I suspect it shut down because of the lack of power my 600w psu is generating. Anyone here have a clue?
