NarrativeBear comments on My PSU is failing? Unexpected instant crashes when playing games

By any change is your GPU sagging even a little?

I had a pc go black screen and reboot on me a few times as the GPU was sagging just a little bit.

Getting a GPU support solved the issue instantly.

Test it out by getting something temporary to support your GPU or lay your pc flat and see if you have the same issue.

You can "temporarily" even use a toilet paper tube

Or something more permanent

Also there's a bunch of different other options out these, some more hidden then others.

Ohh well, thought it would have helped you out.

I guess you may have already tried all the usual troubleshooting as well. Such as pulling out all the PCI cards and trying to boot with just the motherboard a stick of ram, cpu, and hhd/ssd?

Other then that any psu should be fine, I generally go with modular corsair ones. Just make sure you get one that is compatible with your motherboard generation and has sufficient power rating. I generally go with 750 or higher for my builds.
