computer randomly shutting down

[bay]

Whenever I play cs:s my computer shuts down within about 4 minutes. Haven't had this issue until a few days ago. could it be a psu issue? or something else. temps are within normal range for everything. sorry for the vagueness but I don't really have any other info.

Sounds like a psu. check your voltages.Also, get a thermometer to check the temps. BIOS temps aren't always accurate, but most likely the PSU.

That's what I'd suspect too. How about one of these perhaps.

Or this Antec TRUE430 ATX 430W Power Supply

Highly recommended :thumbsup:

would an ocz modstream 450 be worthwhile? a friend has one and i like how it looks.

and thank you for chiming in so quickly.

YES. But I would save some money and get one of the forementioned

modsteam would work, but they are not the best psu's. they do look okay, but its way overpriced for a single rail PSU

again, i would say get teh fortron blue storm 500. I think it looks cool, everyhting is blue, the quiet fan has blue leds, and all the calbes are sleeved
