Freezes and Reboots? Maybe i's my PSU?

[DaReal]

Got my new setup yesterday ... just thought my 380W Enermax Coolergiant will be enouth for the new hardware but now i get lockups and reboots in BF2 (loading-screen) and 3D Mark 2005 (after several seconds).

my setup:
AMD A64 3700+ San Diego (1024 kB Cache)
2 x 1024 MB OCZ PC 3200 Dual-Channel Kit "Platinum"
DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D
ATI Radeon X800XT PCIe 256 MB
SB Audgigy 1 Gamer PCI
120 + 80 GB Seagate 7200.7 SATA drives
cd-burner + dvd-drive
some Fans ...

all powered by a 380 W Enermax Coolergiant!
3.3V -> 30A
5.0V -> 32A
12V -> 14A + 13A

3.3V + 5V -> 240W
total -> 380W

Tried differen combinations of that 12V lines .. but all the same!!
Maybe the PSU is too weak?

Stick with these brands. Or you go extremely massive wattage like I did.... I just bought myself a 600W Ultra. It was only $40 after rebate.... If it fails, it's only a $40 mistake as where some idiots spend hundreds of dollars on cheap parts everyyear.....

No. For one reason, the clear-cover doesn't protect against EMI... not good.

it wasn't the PSU ...

i just had to update bios because the mainboard didnt handle the San Diego core ... :D

Now it also run's with my 380W Enermax PSU :rolleyes:
