GPU or PSU which is fried

[impactedmind]

Hey guys I need some serious help here. well i upgraded my pc in 2008 and i mainly use it for gaming and its specs are

cpu AMD Phenome X2 550 black edition 3.1 ghz

MOBO Asus M2N68-Am plus

Kingston 2gb ddr2 ram

GPU Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT 512 mb ram

PSU I ball LPE 223-400 (i think its is a 250 w psu )

Screen resolution 1600x900

My computer used to work fine but now it has started giving me all sorts of problems. I mainly use it for gaming and other normal daily use. it frequently crashes, crash dump (BSOD),Games have also started crashing frequently.

So i disconnected my gpu and started using the onboard vga graphics. now everything seems to be working fine. Surprisingly the crashes have disappeared.

So what do u think is my gpu fried??? (although the computer starts with it, the games too start but after some time they crash)

OR

The psu is not enuf to power up my gpu and i need to upgrade my psu

or is there some other issues..

Pls guide me

Can u test the gpu on another machine?

Prolly the psu. That psu is a crappy brand. Will barely give 100w real power. Change it

I think the PSU may be a bit suspect there.
