I seem to have this weird problem with my computer though, ever since I upgraded. It started out that the computer would freeze, then just force reboot itself without leaving a trace (No BSOD or events), usually while playing minecraft. Just went to play minecraft now and it just flat out restarted. It kinda sounds like a PSU issue to me, but I would think a 500W PSU would be enough for what I've got.

Try stress testing the CPU and/or the GPU by using Prime95 and MSI Afterburner.

I don't think it's the PSU either, as the system shouldn't be drawing more than 250-300 Watts.

If you have Win7 check event viewer for any errors, etc.

If I get time tomorrow, I'll post mine..

SSD FTW

Looks like I might have to buy another PSU though, this computer just keeps crapping itself under load and really the PSU is the only thing it points to.

The caps might be shot, the ICs could be getting hot - but other than that, the only other common failure more would be a lack of power.

For anyone who doesn't have an SSD and is considering it...do it.

It literally transformed my machine.
Its around 8 seconds from power switch push , to usable desktop.

Yup, and as someone that is usually always a couple years behind in switching to new technology, I don't regret it one bit.

Well, looks like I fixed my problem

Added about 10400uF of caps

Ran the benchmark for a good 30 minutes and didn't have any issues, before it usually rebooted within 2 minutes or so. Think I'll rip the PSU open and maybe replace the caps, or add a few new ones.
