Hi, Everybody I recently bought a gaming computer and I have been having problems with my screen going black and crashing only solution is a hard restart. there is still sound but everthing I try will not get it to work the sound may be looping idk. The computer is not going to sleep... I run dual monitors a vizio LCD tv and a hanns g LCD monitor. my screen will just go black randomly it doesn't happen when I am playing games but sometimes at the startup of games usually when I am doing things like surfing the internet. I don't think it is a heat problem because it has happened immediately on startup. I just rma'd my video card but I was wondering if this could be a power supply issue. I have heard bad things about my psu this is my first build and I didn't research power supplies very well then I find out it is like the most important thing on a computer so my question is get rid of the xtremegear and go with some kind of corsair or should I be able to wait until I decide to crossfire with another 7950? I am just worried that this is not a video card problem. this problem has happened since I got it two months ago and was getting worse will let you know if the new gpu solves the problem. any suggestions on psu if I should switch I thought 800 w would be enough?
