I have a homebuilt system that has been having issues with crashing and restarting for about a month and a half. The crashes are random with no apparent pattern to the frequency or timing; sometimes they occur 2 minutes after startup, other times after 3hours of usage (varying activities of sometimes web browsing to playing graphic-intensive games).
My system Specs are:
AMD FX 8350
ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0
Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212 (with an additional 3-pin fan)
2 ASUS GTX 660 Ti (in 2-way SLI)
Corsair Vengance 8gb DDR3 RAM (CML8GX3M2A1333C9)
ThermalTake Smart 750w PSU
124gb SanDisk SSD
WD 2TB Green HDD
Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid tower
2 200mm case fans
140mm case fan
Windows 8 64bit
I have noticed that when the crash causes a fail to POST (CPU LED also goes red) that just replugging my computer into a different wall makes the computer run perfectly fine again until the next crash, which then goes back to being a gamble of if POST goes through or not.
I think that it is possibly a faulty PSU, but I just want to make sure with someone who knows their stuff before I go off and try to replace it.
This is also my first homebuilt system if that didn't come across in my amateur opinion above. I would like to save where I can since I also do not have a budget for very many replacements.
Any help is appreciated.
