Ok so i did a bit of upgrading in the last few days now my computer restarts randomly. I think it is the psu but before i drop some cash into a higher powered psu i would like some second oppinions on what could be doing this.

System specs:
Athlon 64 3000+ venice @ 2.5ghz
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
X850xt pe
4 HDD's
1 DVD burner

Now i upgraded this stuff in it.

I swapped out water pumps to somthing more powerfull on the 12volt line.
I swapped out my value ram to OCZ Gold Rev 2
I put an auidgy 2 zs in the computer.
 
Have you tried to run it not overclocked and with only 1 hard drive in it?
 
Ill try that but the system has run for 6 months 24/7 on with most load from FAH but until now with audigy, pump, and ram im having the problems. I may call ocz because the ram is making a lot of noise. My allied 500 watt psu may just not be enough power for this rig.
 
From my experience, id look to overhreating and power issues first. That seems like a large load for a PSU also. Can always upgrade via bestbuy and then see how it runs then return and order on newegg, they are good about that kinda thing.
 
So i decided to run dual psu's and no restarts. I have the 2 4 pin connectors on my mobo on a 500 along with all my drives and water pump. On the other psu i have the 24 pin connector. and its working fine so can anyone help recomend me a good PSU
 
Tagan makes great stuff. pcp&c is always a good choice. how much are you looking to spend though
