    Bad motherboard?

    Thank you for that reply. Would it increase the probability of a faulty PSU if I were to tell you that electricity in my apartment seems to be pretty unstable; light intensity will usually lower for a second when I start up the micro wave oven, or when the fridge's motor starts up, etc. I'm...

    Bad motherboard?

    Unfortunately I don't have another PSU to test my hardware with. I'm strongly considering buying another PSU just to do some testing, I'm pretty sure that would ultimately be a more cost-friendly solution than shipping my computer off to a shop that charges 60$/per hour to swap components...

    Bad motherboard?

    Hi guys, I've been having this problem on and off for more than a year now. My PC will power cycle (reboot) at random times. It started in December 2011 very randomly; stopped without me doing anything in particular and came back about three weeks ago, and it has gotten to the point where...

    Faulty PSU?

    Thanks for the input guys, really appreciate it. I also failed to mention something else: immediately after automatically booting up after a power loss, I will (sometimes, not always) hear a loud noise, which I suspect is the PSU fan powering on. Could it be that the PSU is working at full...

    Faulty PSU?

    Hi guys, I recently (Late July 2011) built a computer, which had seemed to be working fine until about three weeks ago, when it started shutting down and rebooting automatically. The Windows event viewer always tells me it's the same error: Critical Event ID 41 (The system has rebooted without...

    1600$ CAD gaming/multimedia PC with monitor (Already have build; need some input)

    Allright. I'm down to my last part dilemma. I've settled on the XFX 6870 for the video card, but I really can't make up my mind between the Seasonic M12II 620W or the Seasonic X650 Gold. Upon reading these reviews, I understand that the X-650 is simply the better product, but is it worth the...

    1600$ CAD gaming/multimedia PC with monitor (Already have build; need some input)

    I'm currently reviewing each part before I finally press that "Checkout" button and I have to say, I'm really confused by the current line of Radeon cards. I've been browsing threads such as this one and looked at a few reviews, and there seems to be a consensus as to the fact that the 6870 is...

    1600$ CAD gaming/multimedia PC with monitor (Already have build; need some input)

    Thanks for your reply. I guess I liked the Gigabyte board out of a certain loyalty for their brand and also because it features HDMI output. (Which I know I have on my video card -- but would it be best to stream HD content out of the motherboard HDMI output or the video card one?) But if I can...

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I will be using this PC as a multimedia station, streaming HD video on the TV via HDMI, surfing the Internet, doing a bit of light video encoding, would like to do some gaming as well. (Mostly looking at MMORPGs like...
