at the beggining of the year i built a pc (mainly for gaming.)
i used the power supply from my old pc about 550 watts this wasnt good enough so i switched it for a spare one i had which i believe is 730 watts. this runs fine normally until in some games my pc just turns off and boots up again. e.g in skyrim on high settings it cut out about 4-5 mins into the game at medium cut out at about 7 mins. (there was no lag what so ever on high or medium so i refuse to play the game in low settings) it also happens in gta 4 about 15 - 20 mins of playing on high.
is my current 730 watt power supply the problem?
components: nvidia gtx 460 amp edition, phenom quad core 955 black edition, 4gb ram, gigabyte mother board amd3+ compatible, 1tb hard drive.
or should i get a more powerful one if so what wattage?
edit: also ocasianally when i turn my pc on it runs for 10 secs then i hear the the speed of all the fans increase to what i assume is 100% whilst the display is still not showing.
thanks in advance.
