This is looking like a power supply issue as Phil stated so I would start with swapping out the PSU with a known good quality brand for testing purposes and see if the crashes continue.

If you need a PSU recommendation you can let us know.

Sorry, the replies got into my spam folder. Sorry once more.

I’d love some PSU advice. I’m thinking of getting 600W gold efficiency cooler master, as those are quite cheap. Something like this one: MWE Gold 650 80 Plus Gold Certified ATX PSU | Cooler Master . It would be about 80 euro’s

Would that be good or would there be a better alternative?

Would modular be better, and would any non modular PSU work?

Also, I’ve found that my PC doesn’t crash when I disconnect the GPU from power or use safe mode, so it might surely be a PSU problem.

Thanks

As per my replies #4 and #12;

This PSU should not have been used anywhere near a computer that had an add on video card and for the following reasons,[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] it is not a good brand,

I would not use a Cooler Master PSU anywhere near one of my computers.

Please note that using a poor quality PSU over a period of time can damage one or more components and it is recommended if at all possible to either have an existing PSU properly tested under load or to swap in an appropriately and adequately powered PSU for testing purposes.

I would hold off on purchasing anything unless what has previously been suggested has been tried and for the reasons explained, we are trying to save you time, money and upset here, the present PSU 100% needs tossing in the trash but you should not purchase a new one unless you have confirmed that the rest of the hardware has not been affected by using a bad PSU.[/color]

I would look at getting this PSU instead, RM Series™ RM650 — 650 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU.

Avoid CoolMaster for PSU’s as they are not known for providing high quality power supplies.
