this is my first self built PC and I am starting to get into overclocking, but I am coming across a problem when trying to do load tests. When I run Prime 95 at my preferred OC setting my system either locks up or the computer reboots spontaneously.
I'm wondering if this is caused by a PSU that inst powerful enough.
I currently have a EVGA supernova 750w (GOLD) and my system only draws 650w at default settings. I am overclocking my FX8350 base clock of 220mhz. could it actually be drawing more than 750w?
MOBO: MSI 990FXA
CPU: FX-8350 4.0ghz 8 core
RAM: 16GB ripsaw X series DDR3
GPU: 2x radeon sapphire nitro R9 380 crossfire
