Then i overclock my system and run 3dmark 03 test it kills my psu
why? its a generic 400watt psu :rolleyes:

when people are doing you a favour, please state your question better... and your thread title.

[lalPOOO]

The answer is in the question, the psu probably sucks.

[texuspete00]

"Kills" sounds plural in this instance. How many lives does this PSU have? lol....

What does your voltage drop and system crashes? Hmm... probably crap PSU. Probably should get a new PSU.

Is it dead? Hmmm..... only one solution when a integral part of your PC is truly broken and down for the count.... Probably should get a new PSU.

With fortron and sparkle around no reason to have a crappy PSU. Its been said they dont make any bad ones really. I believe I partly tested this theory when I needed just a spare... bought the cheapest one I could get pretty much. $20 for 350 watts.. steady and even over spec a tad (fine by me).

PSU's can fail reset and still work. Chances are you are drawing more current than the PSU can deliver.

Jest get a new one and hopefully the problem is solved.

Generic PSU 400 Watt is usually like 400 Watt max and combined power of 260 Watt. I seen those pos psu's fry like no tomorow.

[TommyW]

Invest in a quality psu. Generics are asking for trouble.

[TommyW]

A good tt 480watt psu cost 493nis its 100$ in israel
i cant order from newegg they dont send to israel :(

[r3b0rN]

[TommyW]

[Wrench]

Military Grade solid state HD.

computerpro3 why are you being rude to ppl, i'm quite positive that he would explain his problems better in hebrew than in english. 100 $ for a PSU isn't that bad! Maybe you can find fortron 350 watters in israel, they rock

[computerpro3]

HOw am I being rude? I just told him that generics are trouble, as everyone else in the thread did. And I understood him perfectly. He didn't spend $100 on his psu, he is saying a good one costs that much. Read his post right before getting mad at me.

[thomas66]

mmm,

you can spend 40 bucks on a sucky psu and blow it away
repeating this for 3 times .....

or you spend 100bucks and up and go for some years without trouble.

I killed two cheap psu's already.

iam running now with the enermax in my sig
Price € 90,- never had any problems

[Crankster]

[TommyW]

thats ok, we all have our days. Thanks for apologizing.

Not to be rude, but I feel that the comment "u didnt learn lol?"
could easily be taken the wrong way. Its nothing terrible though, as it is kind of strange he'd go through 3 powersupplys.
