Hey guys,
First off my Specs:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASUS M4N98TD EVO AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ955FBGIBOX
XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TW3X4G1333C9DHX
LITE-ON CD/DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04 - OEM
(yes that's my newegg order, Sorry for not shortening them, didn't want to take out anything that might be important.)
I've been having BSOD during gaming that say my display driver is having problems or something. I cant remember how to get to the crash report or whatever, but i remember doing it and finding out that its a power issue, that my graphics card shut down due to lack of power i assume.
MY question then, is my power supply to low?
APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148040)
It says 700W but I read the manual and it says for +12V1 through +12v4 is Max. 528W (44A). I don't know much about computers, but i know that's the graphics card and Motherboard. The graphics card needs a min. of 450W says newegg, and the cpu needs 220W says some diagnostic on Google i found. That's 670W. So do i need a new power supply that can handle that load? (i also want to OC my 5770, but would rather a stable system.)
The main reason Im not just going and getting a new one myself is that on the reviews for the PS people are saying there running duel OC'ed 5770's and others running crossfire and whatever. I'm confused as to how they can do that and i cant run a single card.
