I have been running a Cooler Master eXtreme Power 650W for a while now, and have been upgrading components recently. The other day i went to swap out the 6 x 1Gb DDR3 DIMMS i had, and put in 3x2Gb instead. Since then if i plug in a flash drive or my psp and copy things onto it, the pc would reboot itself.
The memory is good, spent hours testing with memtest 86+, and works fine in my other system.
I thought it might be power related, so checked the power supply calculator at http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine but it's not working right, because when i entered everything it says i only need 342w
Here's what i currently have
i7 920 CPU
AsRock Rampage Motherboard
2x750Gb WD Green HD's
2x40Gb Kingston SSD's
1xDVD Writer
1xBlu-Ray Writer
ATI 4890 Video Card
Creative X-Fi
I've also got a bluetooth receiver plugged in using usb for mouse/keyboard.
It's currently running with just 1 x 2gb ddr3 ram sticks in, eventually i want to go to 6x2gb.
Am i pushing the 650w psu too much with everything i have now ?
