Hi guys.
I've loved this community for all its help and tips it's given out for a long time.
I'm posting this topic as it concerns me getting a new power supply for my pc.
A simple config list would be
3X2TB WD Caviar purple.
2x Samsung Evo 256gb SSD
2x16gb Gskill rip Jaws 2.1Ghz ddr3
I7-4771k processor stock.
Asus b85m-gamer board.
Hyperx212 cooler.
2x120mm case fans.
2x80mm (inlet and outlet) fans.
A zotac gtx 970 graphics card (planned upgrade to 1070 by the end of this year.)
And last but not least the corsair gs800 power supply unit.
I do my work and a LOT of gaming on this computer like playing BF4, Titanfall 2,assassin's creed, and a lot of high end games especially fps and online games.
So, it's been a GREAT run with the corsair power supply for the past 6 years. But recently I started facing a problem.
My pc, on rare occasions, would randomly shut down whenever I was in the middle of gaming and reboot by itself.
Mind you this was only in the middle of games at first but then it started happening even when I was in the middle of other work like Adobe light room or Autocad with resource intensive 3d modeling and so.
It got so bad that I couldn't even Stat the game for a few minutes and it would shut down.
I tried dust cleaning the pc and still no effect. I removed the graphics card from the pc and it ran fine which led me to believe that it was the graphics card. But I had an old 760 card and it did the same with that as well. I updated bios and tried again. Now I started getting an error message
"Power supply surges detected during the previous power on ASUS anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable supply unit"
Hence I replaced the power supply by borrowing one from a friend and it ran fine for 2 hours of gaming.
So I come to my final conclusion that the device was not getting enough power to run the card and my pc was shutting down due to under voltage issue.
So I need a new power supply under 13k INR or 190usd which can support the system mentioned above.
