| NotStan said: Haha yeah I know what it is, I was just thinking of the possibly complications of having to change it, but it is separated from the rest by a good margin, but then again, I have butter fingers. Slip, poof goes the motherboard. I honestly think its the PSU fucking me atm, as everything else seems to be working fine - maybe the graphics card is too much for it? I mean jesus fucking christ 750w for £14.99? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alpine-750Watt-PSU-120mm-Retail/dp/7135799380/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340735717&sr=8-1 Not suspicious at all. |
It's very unlikely that you will drop it, I usually grab it by the cables for extra grip.
Yeah, it does sound like a weak PSU problem, especially as games increase the power draw from the CPU and GPU and your computer decides when it wants to turn on. Cheap PSU's never supply the amount of power they say they do, I'd be surprised if it even supplies 350w. It angers me that the company you bought it off optionally put shit like that into the computer, they save £30 and for most people it will break just outside of warranty.
A good PSU isn't that much more money, the extra system stability and surge protection is worth it. Don't ask for a replacement from the company.
