Hi there .... I think you mean Xtremegear 800 watt PSU ..... How has it been running ? Any crashes ..... You would need a power supply tester ... I am sure this is not some thing which that you would like to purchase ...
The link below will give you a general idea about PSU
Bad Power Supply (PSU) – How to Check If a Power Supply is Dead
It is true to say a lot of them have had problems .... You cant do much else ... Only wait and see what happens ... Keep us posted
Bad brand, bad reviews. PSUs can develop erratic behavior, and it is one of the possible modes of failure (they don't just go dead). I recommend to replace it with one with good reviews. Also, I doubt that you need more than 650W, check with this PSU calculator.
Checking if the current one is faulty requires expensive equipment as it needs to be tested under load (while actually providing 6-700 watts to devices, not at idle.
The PSU is the only component that can kill HDD, GPU and board at the same time with a power spike. Why gamble your PC for 50$ of "saved" money?
I still hope that it was a kaspersky issue, but I would not bet on it.
Keep us posted.
Try Cleaning your CPU (INSIDE)
then try installing the nvidia latest version for your pc
or try to ask some expertise near you to check your pc problem. :)
So far I have not had any issues for 2 days *knocks on wood*. What PSU would you recommend? I would like one that is at least 800 watts and has the same amount of connectors and such.
