Power Shortage?

[jeff77789]

I have a Raidmax 630W power supply

long story short:

overclocked CPU at 3.6ghz is stable on prime 95 24/7
overclocked gtx 275 is also stable 24/7 on furmark

when i run games or both of them together, they cause a BSOD.
does this mean that my raidmax 630W power supply isn't good enough and i cant actually use all 630W?

well are they specific titles?

and if you could try a memtest.

specific titles?

i have a phenom IIx4 955

i ran memtest with no problems

(If you have got any) remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Check your memory module one at time. Then plug it in succession until you recreate your problem. BSOD can be memory BIOS setting ( mem voltage and timing), mem-slot on the mb, or just bad-mem module.

What is the specific BSOD?

 

[jeff77789]

your system has encountered a hardware failure or something along those lines

Or a flaky PSU.
