Ok so now that you have an idea of what i am working with i will let you know what my issue is. It only dose it when i am playing TC's The Division. my computer will all of a sudden restart.

NOooooooooooooo! Apevia sells PSU-shaped objects that are unfit for purpose. Lacking protection circuits, competent technical reviews have found them not good for even half their labels, so when they blow, they may take attached components with them into the fiery abyss.

Yeah you don't want to trade one crap PSU for another. You might as well call up the train company and have them send you a shipment of 1000 units your way. All aboard!

Jokes aside, if it means not being able to use the PC until you get a new one of actual quality, then let it be so.

 

[williamMs39426]

yeah he let me get the coolmaster 500w

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Coolermaster 500W probably not very good either, they've sold a lot of crappy units, too. What is the Coolermaster 500W? What is the model?

 

[Onus]

Oh no...not as bad as Apevia, but budget CM PSUs aren't a whole lot better. They may also be missing protection circuits (including some claimed on the box), and may also be overrated. There was at least one cheap 500W CM PSU that actually could do 500W, but was horribly inefficient. Iirc, another one could do 430W before burning. That's enough for a GTX950. At the very least, make sure you use a good surge suppressor with it, and treat it like a 430W PSU.

I am not sure of the model # but so far so good, and i understand that they aren't very much better but as of this very moment begger's cant be choosers. and you were abslutely right about it being the PSU that was giving me problems

I'm sure it's still better than what you had, so that is a step up 😉
