hey, i am having a little problem. i just put a 512 MB stick of ram in my computer, before i did that, i had absolutely no problems with it. now, its shutting off randomly when i play World of Warcraft... my question is: can something as little as a stick of ram cause my computer to overheat? i know i need a new psu, but it was working fine until i put that ram in. (my psu is a 160W, and im getting a 400W tomorrow.. will that solve the problem?
overheating?

the new psu could fix the problem. If it doesn't then I think that it's a faulty ram. I doubt it overheating.
hmm, if its faulty ram i will be so pissed. i bought it on ebay... the ram actually seems to be working fine.. it made my computer soo much faster. but can it still be faulty if it is apparently in my computer, and making it run faster?
oh 1 more question, u think this is an alright psu for the price? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817159035
oh and btw, the only time the computer restarts is when i am playing world of warcraft.. dont know why, but it works completely fine besides that.

yea thats a decent psu for the price. and its probaly shutting off because your pc is on full load and thats when power is mostly needed and since u added more ram it is unlocking new power wich needs electrical power so i think your suffering from power withdrawl
