    Asus M5A78L-M LE USB3

    Hello, i have a Asus M5A78L-M LE USB3, in some sites it says its 125 TDP and some say 95, i have a FX-8350 (Not Overclocked) and the FX is 125W TDP, i just want to know because im a little confused in that point.
    Also im making this thread because my PC playing games randomly shuts down, displaying colorful lines and then wont boot up again, i actually have to remove the HDMI from the GPU, turn the PSU button off, and then the PC boots again, I bought a new PSU (Seasonic 650W 80+ Bronze) and new RAM (G.Skill Aegis DDR3 1600Mhz), also replaced the HDMI cable.
    What could be the issue?

    Thanks.

    Hello Pablo6ix,

    The only site that you should take any notice of is the ASUS support page here which says that the board supports a 125W FX-8350, just be sure that you have the appropriate BIOS update before you swap in the FX-8350 or you will just get a black screen.

    Regarding the issues that you mention, this is not the appropriate forum so we will move it to internal hardware where you will need to provide the following info for us;

    The brand and model name or number of the previous PSU.

    The brand and model name or number of any add on video card.

    The games that you are trying to play.

          That is a real poor quality PSU and so much so that it may have damaged the add on video card, that said the R7 250 2gb was released way back in 2013 so the card has done well to last this long, especially with that PSU.

          What I would suggest, your MB specs show that it has onboard video, remove the add on video card from the PCI-E slot on the MB, hook the screen up to the appropriate video port on the MB, reassemble, test by using the PC as you normally would then post back with an update for us.

          Don`t worry about where you post first but can I ask that unless urgent you do not post more than one reply at a time, thanks.
