[SOLVED] Does psu cause sudden hard freezes?

[Saurabh251]

I have psu which is 9 year old, does it causes sudden freeze of Pc?
... I Tried to run pc on integrated graphics it's fine but on Gtx 650 sometimes it run well for 30 min or more and again freeze have to restart whole system...
I think my psu has problem..
My specifications...
Intel Q8400 quad core
8gb ddr3 dual channel
Gtx 650 1gb ddr5
128 ssd
500gb hdd
And I think my psu is not enough for this system...

Yeah, looks like your motherboard then if it does that with both gpu and igpu. I know it'd be easy if it was just the CPU, but I've never seen a CPU cause that kind of issue.

Ohhh okay but I read one blog where written cause of dying cpu is Sudden freeze so asked

Btw today I figured out that
When I insert any gpu to mb it freeze after some time
So doesn't it pcie slot problem or maybe motherboard?

I changed psu, gpu, ram still problem

Yeah. A poor PSU can slowly destroy a motherboard over a long period of time.

Though I have seen some REALLY crappy PSUs kill motherboards completely in under a year.

Which sucked for me because that would mean the motherboard was still under warranty.
