It&#8217;s nearly a 100% chance that it is what&#8217;s fucking up.<br \/>\nI believe it&#8217;s my PSU(Power Supply Unit).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.attictrunk.com\/agips2posu351.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.attictrunk.com\/agips2posu351.html<\/a><br \/>\n(what it looks like.

The same shape. The same fan.<\/p>\n<p>The other proof I got is the years of torment I&#8217;ve endured of my games locking up whenever it damn well pleases. Basically, my video cards. My Geforce 9400GT. I believe I know what made it go faulty. My PSU. Either that or it was faulty in the first place.<br \/>\nUpgrading to a 9500GT. Better card. Better maker. It&#8217;s causing my games to crash. Yet it didn&#8217;t do this on the first day. So it&#8217;s not faulty.<br \/>\nMy PSU is only 350 Watt. That is not enough for my system. I need at least a 500+ Watt to get the full power of my hardware. So I&#8217;m missing 150 Watts.<br \/>\nAnd that 150 Watts is what&#8217;s causing my games to go LOL FUCK UP. It&#8217;s also why I can&#8217;t dual client in WoW.<\/p>\n<p>It makes perfect sense! My 9500GT was worse because my PSU hasn&#8217;t been upgraded since I got this computer. It needs more juice from the PSU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to a few people yesterday.
