3xs crashing technical help please
Hi Folks,
I recently-ish (April) purchased a new 3xs G30i from Scan
Which has been great in the main, however, when playing some games the system just crashes out - high pitched fan noise, then blank monitor screen, nothing appears to work. PC requires a hard re-boot to start up again.
Not being massively technical I checked the obvious - loose connections, clean installed graphic drivers, patches, software updates... but this problem has persisted. The computer runs fine for the majority of time - web browsing, mail, video steaming. It just seems to crash under load (playing Battlefield, WoW etc..)
I checked the specs and i'm now guessing this is a power supply problem?
The 3xs I bought comes with a
CORSAIR 550W VS
and I upgraded/configured at the time to include:-
2GB EVGA GTX770 SC +ACX Cooler
Intel Core i5 4670
looking at the graphics card specs EVGA/Nvidia recommended power supply of 600W
Could anyone help/offer some support? i'd really like to get this resolved as it's become extremely frustrating not being able to use my new system properly! :eek:

I'd be putting something to monitor temperatures. A decent 550W powersupply should be plenty capable of handling that system.
