Recently, 400watt psu died. I think. Computer would not turn on. Replaced with this 850w psu, and computer powers fine.
Specs
not overclocked
ASUS P5NSLI
C2D E6300 w stock fan
dvdrw drive
blu ray rw drive
internal card reader
dual tv tuner
MSI 7600gs passively cooled/no fan
firewire pci card
4gb ddr2 800 ram
WD 250GB HD
120mm rear fan blowing out. no fans blowing in.
Idle specs-
The shut down problem started when I was watching TV via media center, watching a web video, surfing, and had both monitors running. Something I've done off/on for years.I first thought it was my video card overheating. Rebooted, cranked everything up, and monitored the temp. It hit 73c and shut down..
Then I noticed my cpu temp and looked into it. I downloaded and ran Intelburntest. 10 seconds later, my cpu hit 74c and shut down.
I opened my case, blew everything dust free, made sure all fans were running. Setup a small house fan blowing directly on cpu. Ran IBT again with case open. It hit 71c and shut down.
Ran 3dMark05 with case closed: computer shutdown during cpu test.
Ran 3dMark05 with case open: Completed all tests. Vid card hit 75c, cpu 71c.
My only thought so far, is adding more case fans will not lower my temps.
So is temperature is my problem? Is it possibly my psu is not sending enough power to the cpu? Is something just getting too old?(6 year old build.)
