PC stopped working

700W is not enough for many of the latest GPUs so if you can`t borrow a PSU pay a local tech to test the card for you.

Golden rule, you never choose the PSU before all other components are known, it is the only way that you know that you have adequate power.

Going offline now but will check back tomorrow sometime.

Ok, I will take it to technician first thing monday. Can you leave this post open for further discussion?

[phillpower2]

It is important that you use the computer as much as you can while there is no GPU in it, if the tech gives your GPU a clean bill of health you know with 100% certainty what spec of PSU you will need.

Just to confirm, it is only the GPU that needs to be taken to a tech for testing, not the whole computer.

Thread marked as pending.

Hello again. So the graphics card works normally on techs computer.

[phillpower2]

Hello simontalek,

Did you have any problems when using the PC without the add on card.

[simontalek]

No, no problems

[phillpower2]

All points towards the old and week PSU then.

[simontalek]

Yeah, ill be buying new one. What do you think about Seasonic G12 GC-750 Gold?

[phillpower2]

More than what you need but if you are getting it for a good price go for it, be aware that the unit only has a five year warranty and not the 10 that Seasonic Gold most often have.
