dude,

run your pc on safe mode
-check your pc for viruses
-check your hard disk for any error
-might be due to corrupted OS/driver problem/problematic applications.. simply formatting might solve your problem

if doesnt work then might be hardware related problem. -RAM, PSU, etc

both acbel PS2 i-power 510 and e2 power 510 has 450w of true power. PS2 i-power 510 is better because it has a 120 mm and honeycomb ventilation, where as e2 510 has a 80 mm fan. Basically if u want to know any PSU run at its rated true power, u need to run a special test called load test.

I'm not sure the problem. Post new thread in technical support/hardware Q&A. Someone might help you.

Refer back 1st post of this thread. There are bunch of links related to PSU review there.

No problem.

For your current specs i say 450W is enough. But for the future better pick 550W for example add few hd,etc...

its a bit of waste because you're not fully utilize the PSU for your current specs. In the future there will be better PSU (ie better standards, more efficient, etc). If u have future plans going on(at the moment you build your new PC) let say u want crossfire/SLI, add few HDD, etc or simply u want to use it for next PC then its worth buying it.

Arghhh... Any recommended PSU ? tongue.gif

I just bought this PSU from busta dude..and it seems ok so far...no big problem encounter..but sometimes it has some issue, where i need to change the molex socket for my GF6600GT to another free molex socket because my GF 6600 doesn't want to fire up..and after change it with the side panel fan connector it fixed..

a) Thepsu output is depend on the usage, if your hardware need 500W, then it will output 500W...but it will draw more than 500W from the TNB there as PSU efficiency is not 100%...
b) Dunno, wait for other to help you.

should be around the same...even thought not totally same..coz depend on the efficiency of the PSU also...some have 75% efficiency, some have 80% or more...so you do the math lo.. icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif
