So, about 2 weeks ago I build my own PC, with these parts:
At first, the PC would shut down any time I tried to use anything 3D (games, Kombuster...). It happened instantly, but it didn't shut off completely - the fans kept running, but the screen went offline until I turned the PC off, and on again. When I checked the Event Viewer, it sat there was a crucial error with Kernel-Power, Task 41, event 63. I googled it and it told me it could be a faulty PSU.
A friend lent me his old LC power 550W PSU (LC6550 V2.2) that he didn't use anymore, so I installed it. I can now run everything, but it's limited - if I set the graphics too high and run the game for a long time, the same thing happens. If I have the GPU at about 65°C for 15 minutes it shuts off, but if I have it at 58°C, I get no errors.
What could be causing this? Is it possible the current PSU is bad as well? Or is something else broken?
CPU: AMD FX 6300
PSU: Corsair CX 430
