my crysis 2 shuts down my whole pc mid game, and it always seems to be in the same place...

please could someone help me fix this

computer specs :

AMD fx 6200 (over clocked to 4.4 ghz)
Asus sabertooth 990 Fx motherboard
Msi power edition R7770
16gb corsair RAM
550 watt power supply

(i think my power supply is too low, do you think i should buy a more powerful one?)

Well normally I wouldn't think the PSU would be underpowered, but the new AMD cpus draw a TON of power.... and you've overclocked it.....
1. Go to some PSU calculator sites and see what they say:

2. Run prime95 and/or furmark at the same time to see if power consumption is really the problem. Your computer might explode but it would answer the question.

3. Could be overheating, use a program like AIDA 64/gpu-z to monitor your temperatures in-game.

"500W (or greater) power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended"

power requirements from AMD's site. u are under or at the bare minimum on power. 700W would be good.

also, AMD/ATI are notoriously weaker than Intel and Nvidia, just sayin...

An MSI power supply? I didn't even know they had any power supplies..... that's not a good sign.

Anyways, try running prime95 + furmark as max1s suggested. If your computer survives, it's probably not a power supply problem - at least not primarily a power supply one.

Come on guys get real a 550W unit is just fine for his system... a 7770 has a max power draw of ~100W. Even if you make absolutely crazy high out-of-spec assumptions about his system power draw e.g. 150W for his GPU, 300W for his CPU, and 100W for the rest of his system, a 550 W unit is fine.

Realistically, his card is drawing 70-90W, his CPU could be up around 200W, and everything else maybe ~50W, so he's in all likelihood sitting between the 300W and 400W marks at full system load (and remember a game isn't going to put his system at 100% load... very unlikely that his CPU would be loaded to 100%).

No, don't. It will not help.

You should try reverting overclock and checking whether it fixes it.


This. Your power supply is probably not the issue, and even if it is, you don't need a 650W unit for your system.

Have you run the furmark test yet? Because you need to do a lot more testing to get to having a best guess as the PSU being the problem...
