why after over a month of playing perfectly fine, now it has a problem all of a sudden. it ran fine as of last night. i know they ran a maintenance, but there was no patch, so that shouldnt of changed anything right?

Are you currently using AMD's 13.8 beta2 drivers?

now, i'm using nvidia

The AODDriver 4.2.0 is for overclocking an AMD vid card on an AMD cpu. When you installed your Nvidia card did you uninstall your old vid card drivers properly?

If you are running an nvidia card than there is no need for this driver as it will cause problems.

This does not mean that bad drivers is the issue, but definitely points to issues with your current vid card drivers that needs to be addressed.

apparently the guy who installed the new one, didnt get rid of the amd catalyst and drivers, doing that now. but that isnt causing the shutdown. the error that is accompanying the shutdown it this one.

People need to remember that the GPU specs for a PSU are for the GPU alone. the CPU, fans, HD's and everything else hooked up to the computer also draws from the PSU. When a PSU becomes maxed out more wattage and heat is created causing the components to wear out faster.

Another thing which I think I posted this somewhere else too is that PSU's draw from the socket its connected too. If your PSU is maxing out and drawing the full 600 watts every time then a short in the stream of power that comes out of the wall socket may not be enough. It could be shorting out and rather than delivering 600 watts to your system you could only be getting 599 which would in theory cause your system to shut down due to lack of wattage to supply it.

Also when it comes to rails on a PSU plenty of people discredit the single vs dual rail thing.

As long as you have a quality PSU that provides quality efficiency you should be fine. But programs do not just shut computers down, thats 100% hardware. Program crashes on the other hand are software.
