I have an Antec 750W Earthwatts PSU. I double checked before buying and it was supposed to be fine. I only have the PC, very old 2.1 speakers, and a lamp plugged into the power bar. On the same circuit I also have two LCDs.
My PC has the following: 2 SSDs, 1 HDD, MSI 560 Ti Hawk Edition, DVD Writer, two fans, liquid cooling and USB powered keyboard/mouse. I thought 750 was overpowering it.

Is there anyway to find out during the game? The only way I know is to go into BIOS to check, and everytime it's around ~38. I have yet to add more fans into the case (there's 2 right now but i also leave the case open). Waiting for a sale.

It keep crashing...
So I clock it back to normal 570 speed and it works fine.
Could be the same for you
My car is factory OC. I actually wanted to OC my processor/ram (even got liquid cooling) but I'm content with what I have right now. I also haven't had the time to learn how to OC, so that will be a couple of months down the road.


you know what's weird, everytime I get this crash, its usually because I've been playing well and I always thought it was some super kick that fucks up my comp
