I've checked all the specs of the HP P6710F computer from the HP web site:
Access Denied
possible hardware weakness in the specs I saw there - "internal 250w" listed for power supply. may not be adequate enough when using the computer for more than 12 hours straight or when having multiple usb devices connected
perhaps change/upgrade the power supply unit (PSU) to something like 400w or 500w from Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, Thermaltake, etc. a power supply upgrade is highly recommended (or required) when installing a more powerful graphics card onto that HP computer
In the past HP had been using mediocre power supplies from Bestec (I know because some of these Bestecs either fail or don't provide stable power - I'm using an older HP computer like M8417C and changed the PSU from the Bestec ATX-250-12Z to an Enermax EG465p (465watt) a few years ago - my HP computer rarely crashes now)
Thank you Erpster4.
I am not sure I completely understand.
You said " a power supply upgrade is highly recommended (or required) when installing a more powerful graphics card onto that HP computer"
I have NOT installed a more powerful graphics card, as you can see from all my previous posts.
The ONLY thing I have done is increased the RAM.
