VP-750 PSU with GTX570 crash

[dementorchemist]

Hi all,

I bought a second hand evga GTX570 2.5GB off ebay and noticed that it crashes when playing some games, the screen goes pink. I have a feeling it maybe my PSU I am using an Aerocool VP-750. What do you guys think?

It's an OK PSU. I doubt it's the problem. What games and what are the other PC specs

I think the GPU is faulty. All of the other components seem fine.

I still believe it maybe my power supply as these cards require 36A and this power supply only gives 25. I tested it using Crysis 3 on max and got a pink screen. I rested my computer and tried again and it was ok. It was a quick test though.

Oh, then it is the PSU... No wonder, the amps are really low. The PSU can only give ~300 watts on the 12 volt rail. VERY underpowered
