[angelvasilev]

Hey guys i hope someone can help me with my problem.
My problem is that when i start my pc the screen stays black nothing happens but sometimes boots perfectly.I don't know if its the psu or the gpu.
My specs are
asrock 970m pro3 motherboard
fx 6300 oc
r7 260x
8gb ram
raidamx 535w psu
pls i need advice because im selling the gpu and i want to be shure its not broken

Without looking at anything, I'd say it's the PSU. Raidmax units aren't worth anything apart from being expensive paper weights. Pick up a reliable unit that is as close to Tier 1 as possible.

 

[angelvasilev]

ok will try it tnx man

 

[Lutfij]

No problems. If we knew of your location and a budget perhaps we could help with finding a reliable PSU for your system...?

 

[angelvasilev]

is a fortron psu good?

 

[angelvasilev]

shure where can we talk?

 

[Lutfij]

sure where can we talk?

Here. Where else?

Which FSP unit are we looking at?

 

[angelvasilev]

well a good quality if can and around 500w would be perfect

 

[Lutfij]

Budget!

What sort of an overclock are you on? Mind stating the number of drives, peripherals and the case you're working with?

 

[angelvasilev]

sorry i cant say for the case its pretty old but i oc the cpu to 4.2ghz

 

[angelvasilev]

60 or 70 bucks max

 

[Lutfij]

Where are you located and where would you like to purchase from(a site)?

sorry i cant say for the case its pretty old

A picture perhaps?

 

[angelvasilev]

im from bulgaria if can tell me a model of psu cause if i order from a site here they add 20% if you order from outside the country and what do you need inside the case?

 

[angelvasilev]

http://

It's this case,

it's micro atx though.

 

[Lutfij]

Is there no site based in Bulgaria where we can see what sort of units you have access to?

 

[angelvasilev]

sorry i dont know

 

[angelvasilev]

what am i suppose to look for

 

[Lutfij]

FSP Hydro G with at least 550W of power.

Might I ask what brands you have access to? Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic...?

 

[angelvasilev]

i can see evga and corsair

 

[Lutfij]

What series of Corsair/EVGA units can you see?

 

[angelvasilev]

Corsair VS Series CP-9020097-EU, 550 W, PFC Activ, ATX 2.31, 12 cm fan
Corsair CX500M 80 PLUS® Bronze CP-9020059, 500W, ATX 2.3
Corsair VS550, 550W
its just EVGA, 500W i dont know why
i can aford only these psu

 

[Lutfij]

How about FSP units?

I could recommend a cheap unit but the PSU should be considered to be a sort of a one time investment. You should try and get a good quality unit with some headroom to ensure that your system gets clean power. If you do the math multiple cheap PSU's = 1 good quality PSU. You should also keep in mind, PSU is considered the heart of a system, when the cheap PSU has a heartattack it'll take out everything it's connected to.

 

[angelvasilev]

which is better evga or corsair

 

[angelvasilev]

just suggest some 550w that are one time investment and if i see one i will buy it when i can

 

[angelvasilev]
