Power Supply Failure again!

Dear all, my pc was repaired recently due to power supply failure. i changed my PSU on May as i took the advise from fellow friends here. My pc specification is in this post. http://geeks.pirillo.com/forum/topics/what-went-wrong
however, i realized something has gone wrong eventhough it has just repaired. when i play game, connected to a logitech steering wheel, it will suddenly restart itself or gives me a blue screen saying something like physical memory dump.. something like that. im not sure why. my system is currently overclocked at 3ghz and running in auto power mode.
pls help as i dont wanna send my pc for repair again..~~

Also try finding power supply's with big fans, most of the time whenh you overclock the 80mm fan on the psu might not be enough. Some psu's come with 2 80mm fans or 1 120mm fan. modulare psu's work very well because they have single rails and reduce heat because of the limited cables you have, they are great psu's because of the plugg in cables, but the motherboard connections are stationary. I wouldn't get a Corsair thoe, mine has been failing on me too. Check out Thermaltake psu's they have every feature on the market to run stable and run smoothly. :); ▶ Reply to This

They'd probably be better alright. Less heat from fewer cables means less work for the fans means less power consumed. Not to mention a quieter system.; ▶ Reply to This

An important OS file was probably corrupt or damaged when your PC shut off.; ▶ Reply to This

Try to use it in another computer that is close to yours. When you start the gaming, the temp may be rising, so download a monitor utility to see if your computer or graphic card is overheating. You did say you didn't have any problems until you installed another graphics card..... think about it.; ▶ Reply to This
