[SOLVED] Power supply

[Talinthus]

Im not sure if it would however is it possible that a bad power supply can cause your breaker to flip. And the components i have arent enough to max it out. The psu calculator says at max load it should only pull about 450 but its a 600w

A 'bad' PSU can do all sorts of things. It would be rare that it would be attempting to draw enough power to trip a breaker but honestly, with a poor quality PSU, nothing would surprise me.

What PSU are we talking about here?

What are your full system specs?

If the PSU has failed with an internal short circuit then yeah it could trip a breaker. At that point it doesn't matter what the PSU is rated for or what components you have.

Edit: Forgot, high inrush current could also trip a breaker, particularly if you have old/sub par wiring in your house I think. That could cause an otherwise OK PSU to trip a breaker.
