need higher power supply

from seller site 450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors recommended (600 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual mode)

for the Graphics Card:
ATI Radeon HD 5850 (sapphire toxic edition)

get power supply with head room were dont run prob again i say 1000w or close to it

[Eldan]

AHH! Captain is right; get a better PSU if not at least 750W. Check out Corsair, I have a 1000W unit of theirs.

[ObeiKinstar]

yeah, fans are blowing the right way

i cut a whole in the bottom front of my case and put a fan in there, it blows fresh air into the bottom front, I have a fan positioned at the side blowing air on the cpu/graphics, angled slightly so it blows air on them but also moving air towards the fan at rear, which is at the stock position under the power supply

here i made up a really bad drawing

[ObeiKinstar]

like i said, ive been running fine on this setup for a while now, save a lil problem here or there, but I definitly have been running smooth for the last few months, until yesterday, and I havent changed anything, last update I did was 4-25-11, and that was just a windows update, but no problems till yesterday

[Eldan]

You have exhausted my knowledge, I feel as though the first core on your cpu is taking a beating; download Real Temp, and measure how hot your first and second cores get while playing.

If Prime95 is freezing your comp, I am not sure what to do about that, as I have never used it.

is that really were cpu placed on motherboard in drawing if so maybe u do need better cpu fan also because psu would kick out a lot heat as well as the card and it sitting in middle getting rape from heat of both them

what bad set up for motherboard

[Eldan]

Heat is definitely an issue with the setup as captain pointed out. Measure the temps though.

lol, yeah, I do need a new case, but its been fine for a while, why would it suddenly be acting up, thats what i cant figure out and thats what drives me crazy... i HATE troubleshooting
