Andy Da Souza Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hello i'm asking because it'll be the third one I have to buy, wont't bore you with the stupid details http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438026 I Have a FX8350 and a R9 290, currently have a Cooler master 550 (which ain't watts, the pos) but my pc shuts off whenever something intensive is going on, be it gaming or even watching video sometimes, shuts off, no bsod, only error 41 on the event log. Anyway going back to the PSU, i see it's gold cert, I wont overclock or crossfire, and it's well within my buget. any advice is welcomed thanks in advance.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted August 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2015 Can you try one of your other PSU's to verify that the CoolerMaster 550 PSU is your issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Da Souza Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I also have a Pixxo 800w, and still shuts off I run a recent game on high settings, otherwise the pc can run for days just fine. I know the pixxo is crap, that's why I want to buy a good one, but was burned with the 550 Every component is 3-4 months old, no dust no overheat, OS is clean win 10 install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensky Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) EVGA is a good solid power supply. They are a good company. I recommend them or Corsair. Vvo 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+PeterUK MVC Posted August 29, 2015 MVC Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) It might not your PSU but going with a 650W new PSU might be the only way to find out. Thermaltake Toughpower models are good.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153198 What motherboard do you have?
