hi computerforums
system specs:
asus m2n sli deluxe
2 asus en6600 in sli
amd athlon64 x2 4200+ @ 2400mhz
arctic cooling amd freezer pro fan
2 1gb sticks of ocz ddr2 pc6400 dual channel
320 gb seagate 7200rpm
500 gb western gigital caviar 7200rpm
lg generic dvd rw drive
and other peripherals like card reader, extra usb ports, generic creative sound card
psu came with sonata II case, antec smartpower II 450w
my computer kept shutting down after getting the new 500gb drive for no reason while playing games and getting serious error afterwards, no bsod or anything just plain shutdown, without any warnings
i checked the psu and neither of the two fans were working, i know that one fan is only supposed to work for this psu when its over a certain temperature and the other one is suppoesd to work whenever the computer is on, well neither works, the psu still works though but i dont want to risk it, i still have warrantee on it since i bought in 2006 and it has a 3 year warrantee but its prolly too much of a hastle to get it replaced + i dont think i can find the recipt for it.
i think i will buy from my local computer store shoprbc, i have been looking at these:

ive heard a lot of good stuff about pcpower and cooling psu how its not modular and offers a solid 60amp 12v rail, though im not a psu expert so not rlly sure, but from what ive heard this is a really high end psu. and at this store the price lower than ncix or other online shopping sites available in canada
and this as a cheaper alternative:
