Pc Sudden Freeze Could be PSU?

[bsr387]

Hi huys! I checked the forum topics similiar to mine but need to confirm my problem. When I am playing a game, sudden freezes happen randomly. The screen goes to single color with stripes, sound begins to loop and need reset to continue. Could this happen because of my crappy psu?

My system:
Amd fx 6300 (working on turbocore)
Msi 970a g43
Powercolor r9 270 turboduo (generally woeking on overclock by afterburner)
Corsair vengance 2x4 gb ram
Gigaybyte 550 w crappy psu
Seidon 210v liquid cooler
2 external case fans

Try toning the GPU down. Perhaps to stock speeds and see if it still occurs.

I tried that but nothing changed at all. Also didn't done much power overclocking over afterburner. Noticed that the freezes happen very rare in tomb raider or cod but generally happen on bf4 and watchdogs. Could heavy power load cause this?

Yeah. Your PSU might be the culprit. That is a symptom. Go Corsair or Seasonic. The Corsair RM series are good. Silent. Fan only kicks in when it needs to.

So the problem is obvious, I am thinking to buy corsair 600-700 watt psu for overclocking and future crossfire build. Thank you for the answers!! !
