Just replaced my PSU now system keeps freezing

[davedumas0]

hello my problem is i had a 1000w xion PSU that died on me so i went to get a new one but could not spend that much money so i got an antek 750w and now my system keeps freezing when i play a game (star trek online) my system is custom build here is a list of parts



asus striker 2 extreme mobo
4 gig Patriot Viper DDR3 1333
intel qx9650 with Ultra ChillTEC Thermal Electric CPU Cooler
antek 750w PSU
1.5tb sata hard drive (storage) + a 250gb IDE hard drive (operating system )
nvidia gtx 260 896MB
cooler master HAF 932 full tower case
windows 7 x64 ultimate


the strange thing is it never froze b4 with the 1000w PSU

p.s. no overclocking i cranked it down to well below the stock speeds @2.66ghz and the voltage is set to auto
any clue ? maybe when the 1000w PSU went you think it might have broke something?

well like i said its working fine now that i unplugged my DVD drives must not be enough power

 

[shovenose]

i doubt it. maybe the drive(s) are damaged or the ide controller chip on the mobo is shot.

 

[davedumas0]

i have 2 ide drives 1 250 gig hard drive (windows) 1 dvd drive
and i have 3 SATA 1 1.5TB hard drive 1 60gig ssd hard drive and 1 dvd drive everything is working perfect now though except that i dont have any dvd drives hooked up

Maybe one of them was killed. Disconnect some of your hard drives and connect one DVD at a time and see if a certain one being plugged in causes it not to work.

 

[davedumas0]

ok

 

[davedumas0]

i unpluged my ssd drive and pluged in my sata dvd and it runs fine tomorrow im going to unplug the sata dvd and try the IDE dvd drive

 

[davedumas0]

ok idid all that and no problems

 

[Onus]

And if they're all plugged in? Maybe you've got some flaky connectors?

 

[davedumas0]

im just waiting to get this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371039


have to wait about a month

 

[davedumas0]

cuz with everything plugged in it runs good but when i put a long load on it,it freezes

 

[davedumas0]

im quite sure its insufficient power

 

[davedumas0]

my cpu cooler also has a molex power connector for the thermo-electric thing

 

[Onus]

That's a monster of a PSU; seems very unlikely you'd need that much power.

im quite sure its insufficient power

Not even close.

 

[davedumas0]

Not even close.

I've only ever been able to put a 51% load on my Antec 750 with the above configuration ( stressing with Prime95 and Furmark ) , and have run the system with an Antec EA500 without issue.
Even with the quasi TEC, your system isn't pulling more power than an Antec 750w can provide.

 

[davedumas0]

mmmmmm

 

[Onus]

When the Xion croaked, it probably took part of your mobo with it.

 

[shovenose]

That haS been said several times but the op refuses to accept it.

 

[davedumas0]

well i rechecked all my connections and the mobo power was not seated all the way going to test again tomorrow

 

[davedumas0]

i pluged everything back in and played the game and it froze so i disconnected my ssd drive (ubuntu) and 1 dvd drive (both sata) and going to try again

 

[Userremoved]

Well if you persist with the overload you can get this:

Don't think it's a bad PSU unless I'm wrong.

 

[davedumas0]

well its all running fine with 2 devices unplugged and it does not seem to matter witch ones so whats you professional opinion?
