My power supply must be coming up to it's 6th birthday this year and I think maybe it's going bad. I'm getting repeated "Driver has stopped responding and recovered" messages whenever I play a game for a seemingly random amount of time and even the odd bluescreen. Especially if I push it to hard, I couldn't ever get Metro 2033 to function at the best graphics settings, it would always lock up, the graphics driver would pack up or the computer would BSOD if I pushed it that far.
So what I'm thinking is that my old PSU is failing slowly just from old age. HWMonitor reports that I only have 8V on my 12V rail. My only other idea is my GPU is faulty out of the box.
Anyone got any ideas?
