If I do get to the desktop then the system runs stable and I can play the games that have a high graphical demand on ultra settings no problem.<br /><br /> All will be fine for a few days and then I will have to keep rebooting 10-15 times before I can get to the desktop, and then all is stable again for a while.<br /><br /> Nothing else has changed - just a straight swap from the old card to the new, power requirements for both cards are similar (maybe slightly less for the new card).<br /><br /> I currently have a 650w supply (very old though) and am only running the card and an ssd off the rail, everything else powered by the other rail I have, tried swapping rails no difference. The 650w is more than enough for the system but I know what counts is whats delivered through the rails, not the overall wattage.<br /><br /> Does it sound like a PSU problem ? Don't want to spend if it could be something else. Should mention my monitor only has a VGA connection and so have had to run it through a displayport-VGA adapter, that could'nt be an issue ?<br /><br /> Presuming it is any recommendations for a sub £90 PSU at least 600w, Corsair and Antech seem to be the best choices, any others to consider ?</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41842.1&return_msg=41842.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41842.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41842_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_41842_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">23 Nov 2016 17:42</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: cynicoid <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Nov 2016 16:57"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 21</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41842.2">41842.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41842.1#a41842_1" target="_self">41842.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I replaced my power supply about a year ago and that cleared up a host of 'mysterious' problems.
