Has anyone heard of this brand? I bought a case about 3 months ago and it was fitted with a 350watt Eagle PSU. However, I think its beginning to fail, whenever I play games, my PSu blows out hot air (very hot), and ive now started to get lockups just after startup (at the memory check screen). I was overclocking but I put everything back to default and get the same problem. So, how much are the 300w enermaxes nowadays, or should I go for a 400 for future upgrades. Another thing it could be is my CPU, does anyone know what the error beeps ' beep beep beep' continuosly mean? thats what I get if I reset after a lockup.

My sig's faster than yours, and it overclocks better too....

Funny...I was just coming out here to see if there were any ratings on Eagle power supplies. About to by a case with an Eagle PSU, and wanted to see if it was any good. Not included on THG's PSU review from Oct 21.

Well mine was for the first 3 months, although now im begginning to get lockups at boot (only at boot) which I can only think of to be the PSU. My 3.3v line is 3.296v, which I think is affecting the ram (thats why it freezes at ramcheck), its perfectly alright in windows. Any ideas on whatelse it could be? i cant think of any other components that randomly fail, ram, cpu etc usually just goes all out.... strange. Oh yes, and my temperatures are fine...

<b>My 3.3v line is 3.296v, which I think is affecting the ram</b>
That's a deviation of just 0.12%, or less than the accuracy limit of your measurment hardware, even if that hardware is a digital multimeter. The +3.3V can be off by 0.16V and still be within specs, and a very good supply may deviate by 0.08V.

So, you dont think that this is the cause of my problems? Well in that case the only other thing I can think of that might have caused it is a new LCD monitor that ive just bought and installed. The problem only started after installing this, but can a monitor really cause this type of problem? I didnt think so.

<b>A good rule of thumb is 5% variation on any voltage line. Anything exceeding that is not too good</b>

Exception is the negative rails, they dont handle much current at all so are of minor importance.

If the ram doesn't pass the ram check, maybe the ram as Died for some reason?
